Closes ticket 26771. +Changes in version 0.3.2.11 - 2018-07-13 + Tor 0.3.2.11 moves to a new bridge authority, meaning people running + bridge relays should upgrade. We also take this opportunity to backport + other minor fixes. + + o Directory authority changes: + - The "Bifroest" bridge authority has been retired; the new bridge + authority is "Serge", and it is operated by George from the + TorBSD project. Closes ticket 26771. + + o Directory authority changes (backport from 0.3.3.7): + - Add an IPv6 address for the "dannenberg" directory authority. + Closes ticket 26343. + + o Major bugfixes (directory authorities, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha): + - When directory authorities read a zero-byte bandwidth file, they + would previously log a warning with the contents of an + uninitialised buffer. They now log a warning about the empty file + instead. Fixes bug 26007; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (onion service, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha): + - Correctly detect when onion services get disabled after HUP. Fixes + bug 25761; bugfix on 0.3.2.1. + + o Minor features (sandbox, backport from 0.3.3.4-alpha): + - Explicitly permit the poll() system call when the Linux + seccomp2-based sandbox is enabled: apparently, some versions of + libc use poll() when calling getpwnam(). Closes ticket 25313. + + o Minor feature (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.3.5-rc): + - Update the Travis CI configuration to use the stable Rust channel, + now that we have decided to require that. Closes ticket 25714. + + o Minor features (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha): + - Our .travis.yml configuration now includes support for testing the + results of "make distcheck". (It's not uncommon for "make check" + to pass but "make distcheck" to fail.) Closes ticket 25814. + - Our Travis CI configuration now integrates with the Coveralls + coverage analysis tool. Closes ticket 25818. + + o Minor features (relay, diagnostic, backport from 0.3.4.3-alpha): + - Add several checks to detect whether Tor relays are uploading + their descriptors without specifying why they regenerated them. + Diagnostic for ticket 25686. + + o Minor features (compilation, backport from 0.3.4.4-rc): + - When building Tor, prefer to use Python 3 over Python 2, and more + recent (contemplated) versions over older ones. Closes + ticket 26372. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the July 3 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. Closes ticket 26674. + + o Minor bugfixes (correctness, client, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha): + - Upon receiving a malformed connected cell, stop processing the + cell immediately. Previously we would mark the connection for + close, but continue processing the cell as if the connection were + open. Fixes bug 26072; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha): + - Allow the nanosleep() system call, which glibc uses to implement + sleep() and usleep(). Fixes bug 24969; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing, compatibility, backport from 0.3.4.4-rc): + - When running the hs_ntor_ref.py test, make sure only to pass + strings (rather than "bytes" objects) to the Python subprocess + module. Python 3 on Windows seems to require this.

Fixes bug 26535; bugfix + on 0.2.5.5-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (compatibility, openssl, backport from 0.3.4.2-alpha): + - Work around a change in OpenSSL 1.1.1 where return values that + would previously indicate "no password" now indicate an empty + password. Without this workaround, Tor instances running with + OpenSSL 1.1.1 would accept descriptors that other Tor instances + would reject. Fixes bug 26116; bugfix on 0.2.5.16. + + o Minor bugfixes (documentation, backport from 0.3.3.5-rc): + - Document that the PerConnBW{Rate,Burst} options will fall back to + their corresponding consensus parameters only if those parameters + are set. Previously we had claimed that these values would always + be set in the consensus. Fixes bug 25296; bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.4.4-rc): + - Fix a compilation warning on some versions of GCC when building + code that calls routerinfo_get_my_routerinfo() twice, assuming + that the second call will succeed if the first one did. Fixes bug + 26269; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (client, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha): + - Don't consider Tor running as a client if the ControlPort is open, + but no actual client ports are open.

Fixes bug 26196; bugfix on 0.2.9.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (C correctness, backport from 0.3.3.4-alpha): + - Fix a very unlikely (impossible, we believe) null pointer + dereference. Fixes bug 25629; bugfix on 0.2.9.15. Found by + Coverity; this is CID 1430932. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion service, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha): + - Fix a memory leak when a v3 onion service is configured and gets a + SIGHUP signal. Fixes bug 25901; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + - When parsing the descriptor signature, look for the token plus an + extra white-space at the end. This is more correct but also will + allow us to support new fields that might start with "signature". + Fixes bug 26069; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (relay, backport from 0.3.4.3-alpha): + - Relays now correctly block attempts to re-extend to the previous + relay by Ed25519 identity.
