Changes in version 0.4.5.6 - 2021-02-15
- BLURB
+ The Tor 0.4.5.x release series is dedicated to the memory of Karsten
+ Loesing (1979-2020), Tor developer, cypherpunk, husband, and
+ father. Karsten is best known for creating the Tor metrics portal and
+ leading the metrics team, but he was involved in Tor from the early
+ days. For example, while he was still a student he invented and implemented
+ the v2 onion service directory design, and he also served as an ambassador
+ to the many German researchers working in the anonymity field. We loved him
+ and respected him for his patience, his consistency, and his welcoming
+ approach to growing our community.
+
+ This release series introduces significant improvements in relay IPv6
+ address discovery, a new "MetricsPort" mechanism for relay operators to
+ measure performance, LTTng support, build system improvements to help when
+ using Tor as a static library, and significant bugfixes related to
+ Windows relay performance. It also includes numerous smaller features and
+ bugfixes.
Below are the changes since 0.4.4.7. For a list only of the changes
since 0.4.5.5-rc, see the ChangeLog file.
