It also backports fixes for + a few portability issues and a small but problematic memory leak. + + o Major bugfixes (client reliability, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha): + - When Tor leaves standby because of a new application request, open + circuits as needed to serve that request. Previously, we would + potentially wait a very long time. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix + on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (client performance, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha): + - Clients now respond to new application stream requests immediately + when they arrive, rather than waiting up to one second before + starting to handle them.

We hope that it will be ready to become stable soon, and we + encourage everyone to test this release. If no showstopper bugs are + found here, the next 0.2.9 release will be stable. + + o Major bugfixes (relay, resolver, logging): + - For relays that don't know their own address, avoid attempting a + local hostname resolve for each descriptor we download. This + will cut down on the number of "Success: chose address 'x.x.x.x'" + log lines, and also avoid confusing clock jumps if the resolver + is slow. Fixes bugs 20423 and 20610; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (client, fascistfirewall): + - Avoid spurious warnings when ReachableAddresses or FascistFirewall + is set. Fixes bug 20306; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (hidden services): + - Stop ignoring the anonymity status of saved keys for hidden + services and single onion services when first starting tor. + Instead, refuse to start tor if any hidden service key has been + used in a different hidden service anonymity mode. Fixes bug + 20638; bugfix on 17178 in 0.2.9.3-alpha; reported by ahf. + + o Minor bugfixes (portability): + - Work around a bug in the OSX 10.12 SDK that would prevent us from + successfully targeting earlier versions of OSX. Resolves + ticket 20235. + - Run correctly when built on Windows build environments that + require _vcsprintf(). Fixes bug 20560; bugfix on 0.2.2.11-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (single onion services, Tor2web): + - Stop complaining about long-term one-hop circuits deliberately + created by single onion services and Tor2web. These log messages + are intended to diagnose issue 8387, which relates to circuits + hanging around forever for no reason. Fixes bug 20613; bugfix on + 0.2.9.1-alpha. Reported by "pastly". + + o Minor bugfixes (unit tests): + - Stop spurious failures in the local interface address discovery + unit tests. Fixes bug 20634; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha; patch by + Neel Chauhan. + + o Documentation: + - Correct the minimum bandwidth value in torrc.sample, and queue a + corresponding change for torrc.minimal. Closes ticket 20085. + + +Changes in version 0.2.9.5-alpha - 2016-11-08 + Tor 0.2.9.5-alpha fixes numerous bugs discovered in the previous alpha + version. We believe one or two probably remain, and we encourage + everyone to test this release. + + o Major bugfixes (client performance): + - Clients now respond to new application stream requests immediately + when they arrive, rather than waiting up to one second before + starting to handle them. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix + on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (client reliability): + - When Tor leaves standby because of a new application request, open + circuits as needed to serve that request. Previously, we would + potentially wait a very long time. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix + on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (download scheduling): + - When using an exponential backoff schedule, do not give up on + downloading just because we have failed a bunch of times. Since + each delay is longer than the last, retrying indefinitely won't + hurt. Fixes bug 20536; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + - If a consensus expires while we are waiting for certificates to + download, stop waiting for certificates. + - If we stop waiting for certificates less than a minute after we + started downloading them, do not consider the certificate download + failure a separate failure. Fixes bug 20533; bugfix + on 0.2.0.9-alpha. + - Remove the maximum delay on exponential-backoff scheduling. Since + we now allow an infinite number of failures (see ticket 20536), we + must now allow the time to grow longer on each failure. Fixes part + of bug 20534; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + - Make our initial download delays closer to those from 0.2.8. Fixes + another part of bug 20534; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + - When determining when to download a directory object, handle times + after 2038 if the operating system supports them. (Someday this + will be important!) Fixes bug 20587; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + - When using exponential backoff in test networks, use a lower + exponent, so the delays do not vary as much. This helps test + networks bootstrap consistently. Fixes bug 20597; bugfix on 20499. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 3 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. + + o Minor bugfixes (client directory scheduling): + - Treat "relay too busy to answer request" as a failed request and a + reason to back off on our retry frequency. This is safe now that + exponential backoffs retry indefinitely, and avoids a bug where we + would reset our download schedule erroneously. Fixes bug 20593; + bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (client, logging): + - Remove a BUG warning in circuit_pick_extend_handshake(). Instead, + assume all nodes support EXTEND2. Use ntor whenever a key is + available. Fixes bug 20472; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. + - On DNSPort, stop logging a BUG warning on a failed hostname + lookup. Fixes bug 19869; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (hidden services): + - When configuring hidden services, check every hidden service + directory's permissions. Previously, we only checked the last + hidden service. Fixes bug 20529; bugfix the work to fix 13942 + in 0.2.6.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (portability): + - Fix compilation with OpenSSL 1.1 and less commonly-used CPU + architectures. Closes ticket 20588. + - Use ECDHE ciphers instead of ECDH in tortls tests. LibreSSL has + removed the ECDH ciphers which caused the tests to fail on + platforms which use it. Fixes bug 20460; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + - Fix implicit conversion warnings under OpenSSL 1.1. Fixes bug + 20551; bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (relay bootstrap): + - Ensure relays don't make multiple connections during bootstrap. + Fixes bug 20591; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (relay): + - Work around a memory leak in OpenSSL 1.1 when encoding public + keys. Fixes bug 20553; bugfix on 0.0.2pre8. + - Avoid a small memory leak when informing worker threads about + rotated onion keys. Fixes bug 20401; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha. + - Do not try to parallelize workers more than 16x without the user + explicitly configuring us to do so, even if we do detect more than + 16 CPU cores. Fixes bug 19968; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (single onion services): + - Start correctly when creating a single onion service in a + directory that did not previously exist. Fixes bug 20484; bugfix + on 0.2.9.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing): + - Avoid a unit test failure on systems with over 16 detectable CPU + cores. Fixes bug 19968; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha. + + o Documentation: + - Clarify that setting HiddenServiceNonAnonymousMode requires you to + also set "SOCKSPort 0". Fixes bug 20487; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. + - Module-level documentation for several more modules. Closes + tickets 19287 and 19290. Changes in version 0.2.8.9 - 2016-10-17 |
