Fixes bug + 27185; bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha. + + +Changes in version 0.3.4.8 - 2018-09-10 + Tor 0.3.4.8 is the first stable release in its series; it includes + compilation and portability fixes. + + The Tor 0.3.4 series includes improvements for running Tor in + low-power and embedded environments, which should help performance in + general. We've begun work on better modularity, and included preliminary + changes on the directory authority side to accommodate a new bandwidth + measurement system. We've also integrated more continuous-integration + systems into our development process, and made corresponding changes to + Tor's testing infrastructure. Finally, we've continued to refine + our anti-denial-of-service code. + + Below are the changes since 0.3.4.7-rc. For a complete list of changes + since 0.3.3.9, see the ReleaseNotes file. + + o Minor features (compatibility): + - Tell OpenSSL to maintain backward compatibility with previous + RSA1024/DH1024 users in Tor.

Closes ticket 27344. + + o Minor features (continuous integration): + - Log the compiler path and version during Appveyor builds. + Implements ticket 27449. + - Show config.log and test-suite.log after failed Appveyor builds. + Also upload the zipped full logs as a build artifact. Implements + ticket 27430. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation): + - Silence a spurious compiler warning on the GetAdaptersAddresses + function pointer cast. This issue is already fixed by 26481 in + 0.3.5 and later, by removing the lookup and cast. Fixes bug 27465; + bugfix on 0.2.3.11-alpha. + - Stop calling SetProcessDEPPolicy() on 64-bit Windows. It is not + supported, and always fails. Some compilers warn about the + function pointer cast on 64-bit Windows. Fixes bug 27461; bugfix + on 0.2.2.23-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration): + - Disable gcc hardening in Appveyor Windows 64-bit builds. As of + August 29 2018, Appveyor images come with gcc 8.2.0 by default. + Executables compiled for 64-bit Windows with this version of gcc + crash when Tor's --enable-gcc-hardening flag is set. Fixes bug + 27460; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + - When a Travis build fails, and showing a log fails, keep trying to + show the other logs.

Fixes bug 27295; bugfix + on 0.2.7.3-rc. + +Changes in version 0.3.4.7-rc - 2018-08-24 + Tor 0.3.4.7-rc fixes several small compilation, portability, and + correctness issues in previous versions of Tor. This version is a + release candidate: if no serious bugs are found, we expect that the + stable 0.3.4 release will be (almost) the same as this release. + + o Minor features (bug workaround): + - Compile correctly on systems that provide the C11 stdatomic.h + header, but where C11 atomic functions don't actually compile. + Closes ticket 26779; workaround for Debian issue 903709. + + o Minor features (continuous integration): + - Backport Travis rust distcheck to 0.3.3. Closes ticket 24629. + - Enable macOS builds in our Travis CI configuration. Closes + ticket 24629. + - Install libcap-dev and libseccomp2-dev so these optional + dependencies get tested on Travis CI. Closes ticket 26560. + - Only post Appveyor IRC notifications when the build fails. + Implements ticket 27275. + - Run asciidoc during Travis CI. Implements ticket 27087. + - Use ccache in our Travis CI configuration. Closes ticket 26952. + + o Minor features (continuous integration, rust): + - Use cargo cache in our Travis CI configuration. Closes + ticket 26952. + + o Minor features (directory authorities): + - Authorities no longer vote to make the subprotocol version + "LinkAuth=1" a requirement: it is unsupportable with NSS, and + hasn't been needed since Tor 0.3.0.1-alpha. Closes ticket 27286. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the August 7 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. Closes ticket 27089. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation, windows): + - Don't link or search for pthreads when building for Windows, even + if we are using build environment (like mingw) that provides a + pthreads library. Fixes bug 27081; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc. + + o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration): + - Improve Appveyor CI IRC logging. Generate correct branches and + URLs for pull requests and tags. Use unambiguous short commits. + Fixes bug 26979; bugfix on master. + - Build with zstd on macOS. Fixes bug 27090; bugfix on 0.3.1.5-alpha. + - Pass the module flags to distcheck configure, and log the flags + before running configure. (Backported to 0.2.9 and later as a + precaution.) Fixes bug 27088; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (in-process restart): + - Always call tor_free_all() when leaving tor_run_main(). When we + did not, restarting tor in-process would cause an assertion + failure. Fixes bug 26948; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox): + - Fix a bug in out sandboxing rules for the openat() syscall. + Previously, no openat() call would be permitted, which would break + filesystem operations on recent glibc versions. Fixes bug 25440; + bugfix on 0.2.9.15. Diagnosis and patch from Daniel Pinto. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion services): + - Fix bug that causes services to not ever rotate their descriptors + if they were getting SIGHUPed often. Fixes bug 26932; bugfix + on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (portability): + - Fix compilation of the unit tests on GNU/Hurd, which does not + define PATH_MAX. Fixes bug 26873; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. Patch + from "paulusASol". + + o Minor bugfixes (rust): + - Backport test_rust.sh from master. Fixes bug 26497; bugfix + on 0.3.1.5-alpha. + - Consistently use ../../.. as a fallback for $abs_top_srcdir in + test_rust.sh. Fixes bug 27093; bugfix on 0.3.4.3-alpha. + - Protover parsing was accepting the presence of whitespace in + version strings, which the C implementation would choke on, e.g. + "Desc=1\t,2". Fixes bug 27177; bugfix on 0.3.3.5-rc. + - Protover parsing was ignoring a 2nd hyphen and everything after + it, accepting entries like "Link=1-5-foo". Fixes bug 27164; bugfix + on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + - Stop setting $CARGO_HOME. cargo will use the user's $CARGO_HOME, or + $HOME/.cargo by default. Fixes bug 26497; bugfix on 0.3.1.5-alpha. + - cd to ${abs_top_builddir}/src/rust before running cargo in + src/test/test_rust.sh. This makes the working directory consistent + between builds and tests. Fixes bug 26497; bugfix on 0.3.3.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing, bootstrap): + - When calculating bootstrap progress, check exit policies and the + exit flag. Previously, Tor would only check the exit flag, which + caused race conditions in small and fast networks like chutney. + Fixes bug 27236; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing, openssl compatibility): + - Our "tortls/cert_matches_key" unit test no longer relies on + OpenSSL internals. Previously, it relied on unsupported OpenSSL + behavior in a way that caused it to crash with OpenSSL 1.0.2p. + Fixes bug 27226; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (Windows, compilation): + - Silence a compilation warning on MSVC 2017 and clang-cl.

This version is a + release candidate: if no serious bugs are found, we expect that the + stable 0.3.4 release will be (almost) the same as this release. + + o Major bugfixes (event scheduler): + - When we enable a periodic event, schedule it in the event loop + rather than running it immediately. Previously, we would re-run + periodic events immediately in the middle of (for example) + changing our options, with unpredictable effects. Fixes bug 27003; + bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + + o Minor features (compilation): + - When building Tor, prefer to use Python 3 over Python 2, and more + recent (contemplated) versions over older ones. Closes + ticket 26372. + - When compiling with --enable-openbsd-malloc or --enable-tcmalloc, + tell the compiler not to include the system malloc implementation. + Fixes bug 20424; bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc. + - Don't try to use a pragma to temporarily disable the + -Wunused-const-variable warning if the compiler doesn't support + it. Fixes bug 26785; bugfix on 0.3.2.11. + + o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration): + - Skip a pair of unreliable key generation tests on Windows, until + the underlying issue in bug 26076 is resolved. Fixes bug 26830 and + bug 26853; bugfix on 0.2.7.3-rc and 0.3.2.1-alpha respectively. + + o Minor features (controller): + - The control port now exposes the list of HTTPTunnelPorts and + ExtOrPorts via GETINFO net/listeners/httptunnel and + net/listeners/extor respectively. Closes ticket 26647. + + o Minor bugfixes (directory authority): + - When voting for recommended versions, make sure that all of the + versions are well-formed and parsable. Fixes bug 26485; bugfix + on 0.1.1.6-alpha. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the July 3 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. Closes ticket 26674. + + o Minor features (Rust, portability): + - Rust cross-compilation is now supported. Closes ticket 25895. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation): + - Update build system so that tor builds again with --disable-unittests + after recent refactoring. Fixes bug 26789; bugfix on 0.3.4.3-alpha. + - 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 (controller): + - Report the port correctly when a port is configured to bind to + "auto". Fixes bug 26568; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + - Parse the "HSADDRESS=" parameter in HSPOST commands properly. + Previously, it was misparsed and ignored. Fixes bug 26523; bugfix + on 0.3.3.1-alpha.

Fixes bug 26927; bugfix + on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (portability): + - Avoid a compilation error in test_bwmgt.c on Solaris 10. Fixes bug + 26994; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + - Work around two different bugs in the OS X 10.10 and later SDKs + that would prevent us from successfully targeting earlier versions + of OS X. Fixes bug 26876; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (single onion services, Tor2web): + - Log a protocol warning when single onion services or Tor2web + clients fail to authenticate direct connections to relays. Fixes + bug 26924; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing): + - Disable core dumps in test_bt.sh, to avoid failures in "make + distcheck".

This bug was crashing authorities by exhausting their + memory. Fixes bug 26435; bugfix on 0.3.3.6. + + o Major bugfixes (rust, testing): + - Make sure that failing tests in Rust will actually cause the build + to fail: previously, they were ignored. Fixes bug 26258; bugfix + on 0.3.3.4-alpha. + + o Minor feature (directory authorities): + - Stop warning about incomplete bw lines before the first complete + bw line has been found, so that additional header lines can be + ignored. Fixes bug 25960; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha + + o Minor features (relay, diagnostic): + - 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 (unit tests): + - Test complete bandwidth measurements files, and test that + incomplete bandwidth lines only give warnings when the end of the + header has not been detected. Fixes bug 25947; bugfix + on 0.2.2.1-alpha + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation): + - Refrain from compiling unit testing related object files when + --disable-unittests is set to configure script. Fixes bug 24891; + bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha. + - When linking the libtor_testing.a library, only include the + dirauth object files once. Previously, they were getting added + twice. Fixes bug 26402; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + - The --enable-fatal-warnings flag now affects Rust code as well. + Closes ticket 26245. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion services): + - Recompute some consensus information after detecting a clock jump, + or after transitioning from a non-live consensus to a live + consensus. We do this to avoid having an outdated state, and + miscalculating the index for next-generation onion services. Fixes + bug 24977; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (relay): + - Relays now correctly block attempts to re-extend to the previous + relay by Ed25519 identity. Previously they would warn in this + case, but not actually reject the attempt. Fixes bug 26158; bugfix + on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing): + - Fix compilation of the doctests in the Rust crypto crate. Fixes + bug 26415; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + - Instead of trying to read the geoip configuration files from + within the unit tests, instead create our own ersatz files with + just enough geoip data in the format we expect. Trying to read + from the source directory created problems on Windows with mingw, + where the build system's paths are not the same as the platform's + paths. Fixes bug 25787; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + - Refrain from trying to get an item from an empty smartlist in + test_bridges_clear_bridge_list. Set DEBUG_SMARTLIST in unit tests + to catch improper smartlist usage. Furthermore, enable + DEBUG_SMARTLIST globally when build is configured with fragile + hardening.
