Bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha; fixes bug 34299.
2020-04-09client: Revert setting PreferIPv6 on by defaultDavid Goulet
This change broke torsocks that by default is expecting an IPv4 for hostname resolution because it can't ask tor for a specific IP version with the SOCKS5 extension. PreferIPv6 made it that sometimes the IPv6 could be returned to torsocks that was expecting an IPv4. Torsocks is probably a very unique case because the runtime flow is that it hijacks DNS resolution (ex: getaddrinfo()), gets an IP and then sends it back for the connect() to happen. The libc has DNS resolution functions that allows the caller to request a specific INET family but torsocks can't tell tor to resolve the hostname only to an IPv4 or IPv6 and thus by default fallsback to IPv4. Reverting this change into 0.4.3.x series but we'll keep it in the 0.4.4.x series in the hope that we add this SOCKS5 extension to tor for DNS resolution and then change torsocks to use that.

"proceeding" means starting an action. "preceding" means the thing before this thing. In this context, it's a bit ambiguous.

2020-01-20doc: Improve port flags in man pageteor
Explain that: * most flags default to off * flags that default to on are specified Document PreferIPv6Automap in its "No" form, because it's on by default. Cleanup after 32637.
2020-01-20config: Make clients tell dual-stack exits they prefer IPv6teor
Make Tor clients tell dual-stack exits that they prefer IPv6 connections. This change is equivalent to setting the PreferIPv6 flag on SOCKSPorts (and most other listener ports). Tor Browser has been setting this flag for some time, and we want to remove a client distinguisher at exits. Also update the man page, putting all the IP flags in their non-default forms. Closes ticket 32637.

2020-01-16Define a "dircache" module.Nick Mathewson
For now, this module is enabled whenever the relay module is enabled, and disabled whenever the relay module is disabled. Though they are logically separate, the use cases for running one without the other are rare enough that we don't really want to support compiling them independently.

2019-12-19Mark TestingEstimatedDescriptorPropagationTime as obsolete.Nick Mathewson
We stopped looking at this option in 85cf6dcba3693b, back when we implemented the minimal pieces of prop275. Since then, we've had code to validate and adjust this option, and to give it a different value in testing networks, but the option hasn't actually done anything. We can safely mark it as OBSOLETE, since doing so does not make any old configuration get rejected. Closes ticket 32807.

Fix some quoting, especially of constructs like "[address:]port", that were proving tricky for Asciidoctor tooling to parse correctly.
