These values caused various asserts to fire + in the circuit build times code, crashing Tor. Bug 1245, bugfix on + 0.2.2.2-alpha. + - Alter calculation of Pareto distribution parameter 'Xm' for Circuit Build + Timeout learning to use the weighted average of the top N=3 modes. This + should improve the timeout calculation in some cases, and prevent + extremely high timeout values. Bug 1335, bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha. + - Implement a filtering step to recompute synthetic build times every time + the timeout changes. Additionally, place a lower cap on synthetic build + times, and allow this cap to be controlled by the consensus. This should + also improve the build time calculations, and should eliminate a case + where Tor was allocating an excessive amount of temporary memory during + timeout calculation. Bugs 1335 and 1245, bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes: + - Eliminate a case where a circuit build time warning was displayed after + network connectivity resumed. + + o Minor features: + - Add a TIMEOUT_RATE keyword to the BUILDTIMEOUT_SET control port event, + to give information on the current rate of circuit timeouts over our + stored history. + - Add ability to disable circuit build time learning via consensus + parameter and via a LearnCircuitBuildTimeout config option. Also + automatically disable circuit build time calculation if we are either + a AuthoritativeDirectory, or if we fail to write our state file. Bug 1296. + + |
