+Changes in version 0.3.5.6-rc - 2018-12-18
+ Tor 0.3.5.6-rc fixes numerous small bugs in earlier versions of Tor.
+ It is the first release candidate in the 0.3.5.x series; if no further
+ huge bugs are found, our next release may be the stable 0.3.5.x.
+
+ o Minor features (continuous integration, Windows):
+ - Always show the configure and test logs, and upload them as build
+ artifacts, when building for Windows using Appveyor CI.
+ Implements 28459.
+
+ o Minor features (fallback directory list):
+ - Replace the 150 fallbacks originally introduced in Tor
+ 0.3.3.1-alpha in January 2018 (of which ~115 were still
+ functional), with a list of 157 fallbacks (92 new, 65 existing, 85
+ removed) generated in December 2018. Closes ticket 24803.
+
+ o Minor features (geoip):
+ - Update geoip and geoip6 to the December 5 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
+ Country database. Closes ticket 28744.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
+ - Add missing dependency on libgdi32.dll for tor-print-ed-signing-
+ cert.exe on Windows. Fixes bug 28485; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, Windows):
+ - Explicitly specify the path to the OpenSSL library and do not
+ download OpenSSL from Pacman, but instead use the library that is
+ already provided by AppVeyor. Fixes bug 28574; bugfix on master.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3):
+ - When deleting an ephemeral onion service (DEL_ONION), do not close
+ any rendezvous circuits in order to let the existing client
+ connections finish by themselves or closed by the application. The
+ HS v2 is doing that already so now we have the same behavior for
+ all versions. Fixes bug 28619; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (restart-in-process, boostrap):
+ - Add missing resets of bootstrap tracking state when shutting down
+ (regression caused by ticket 27169). Fixes bug 28524; bugfix
+ on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (testing):
+ - Use a separate DataDirectory for the test_rebind script.
+ Previously, this script would run using the default DataDirectory,
+ and sometimes fail. Fixes bug 28562; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
+ Patch from Taylor R Campbell.
+ - Stop leaking memory in an entry guard unit test. Fixes bug 28554;
+ bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (Windows):
+ - Correctly identify Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows Server
+ 2008 and later from their NT versions. Fixes bug 28096; bugfix on
+ 0.2.2.34; reported by Keifer Bly.
+ - On recent Windows versions, the GetVersionEx() function may report
+ an earlier Windows version than the running OS. To avoid user
+ confusion, add "[or later]" to Tor's version string on affected
+ versions of Windows. Fixes bug 28096; bugfix on 0.2.2.34; reported
+ by Keifer Bly.
+ - Remove Windows versions that were never supported by the
+ GetVersionEx() function. Stop duplicating the latest Windows
+ version in get_uname(). Fixes bug 28096; bugfix on 0.2.2.34;
+ reported by Keifer Bly.
+
+ o Testing:
+ - Increase logging and tag all log entries with timestamps in
+ test_rebind.py. Provides diagnostics for issue 28229.
+
+ o Code simplification and refactoring (shared random, dirauth):
+ - Change many tor_assert() to use BUG() instead. The idea is to not
+ crash a dirauth but rather scream loudly with a stacktrace and let
+ it continue run. The shared random subsystem is very resilient and
+ if anything wrong happens with it, at worst a non coherent value
+ will be put in the vote and discarded by the other authorities.
+ Closes ticket 19566.
+
+ o Documentation (onion services):
+ - Document in the man page that changing ClientOnionAuthDir value or
+ adding a new file in the directory will not work at runtime upon
+ sending a HUP if Sandbox 1. Closes ticket 28128.
+ - Note in the man page that the only real way to fully revoke an
+ onion service v3 client authorization is by restarting the tor
+ process. Closes ticket 28275.
