2014-04-01Fix documentation of torrc search orderNick Mathewson
We are searching @CONFDIR@ before $HOME, but the documentation implied otherwise. I screwed this up in f5e86bcd6c06d43ff3af5acd8135bd8b577bc3, when I first documented the $HOME/.torrc possibility. Fix for bug 9213; bugfix on 0.2.3.18-rc.

Fix for #10470 as suggested by arma
2013-11-10Change documentation DirServer->DirAuthorityNick Mathewson
We renamed the option, but we didn't actually fix it in the log messages or the docs. This patch does that. For #10124. Patch by sqrt2.

2013-10-09Clarify who learns about ContactInfo.Karsten Loesing
Explicitly include bridges, and note that we archive and publish all descriptors. (We are not yet publishing ContactInfo lines contained in bridge descriptors, but maybe we'll want to do that soon, so let's err on the side of caution here.) Related to #9854.
2013-10-08Switch ECDHE group default logic for bridge/relay TLSNick Mathewson
According to the manpage, bridges use P256 for conformity and relays use P224 for speed. But skruffy points out that we've gotten it backwards in the code. In this patch, we make the default P256 for everybody. Fixes bug 9780; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.

2013-09-20Get ready to stop sending timestamps in INTRODUCE cellsNick Mathewson
For now, round down to the nearest 10 minutes. Later, eliminate entirely by setting a consensus parameter. (This rounding is safe because, in 0.2.2, where the timestamp mattered, REND_REPLAY_TIME_INTERVAL was a nice generous 60 minutes.)

2013-06-18Implement a real OOM-killer for too-long circuit queues.Nick Mathewson
This implements "algorithm 1" from my discussion of bug #9072: on OOM, find the circuits with the longest queues, and kill them. It's also a fix for #9063 -- without the side-effects of bug #9072. The memory bounds aren't perfect here, and you need to be sure to allow some slack for the rest of Tor's usage. This isn't a perfect fix; the rest of the solutions I describe on codeable.
2013-06-12Fix the biggest errors in doc/HACKINGNick Mathewson
We can wait for 0.2.5 for a full rewrite. #8964
2013-06-12Remove various outdated documents.Nick Mathewson
doc/TODO and doc/spec/README were placeholders to tell people where to look for the real TODO and README stuff -- we replaced them years ago, though. authority-policy, v3-authority-howto, and torel-design.txt belong in torspec. I'm putting them in attic there since I think they may be in large part obsolete, but someone can rescue them if they're not. translations.txt is outdated, and refers to lots of programs other than Tor. We have much better translation resources on the website now. tor-win32-mingw-creation.txt is pending review of a revised version for 0.2.5 (see ticket #4520), but there's no reason to ship this one while we're waiting for an accurate version. the tor-rpm-creation.txt isn't obsolete AFAIK, but it belongs in doc/contrib if anywhere. Resolves bug #8965.

2013-03-19Drop the minimum guard lifetime back down to one monthNick Mathewson
Mike believes that raising the default to 2 months with no way to lower it may create horrible load-balancing issues.

2013-03-19Make the guard lifetime configurable and adjustable via the consensusNick Mathewson
Fixes 8240. (Don't actually increase the default guard lifetime. It seems likely to break too many things if done precipitiously.)

2013-02-27Remove some lingering tsocks cruft.Nick Mathewson
Now the manpages no longer refer to tsocks or tsocks.conf, and we no longer have or ship a tor-tsocks.conf. The only remaining instances of "tsocks" in our repository are old ChangeLog and ReleaseNotes entries, and the torify script saying that it doesn't support tsocks. Fixes bug 8290.

2013-01-17When excluding nodes by country, exclude {??} and {A1} tooNick Mathewson
This is ticket 7706, reported by "bugcatcher." The rationale here is that if somebody says 'ExcludeNodes {tv}', then they probably don't just want to block definitely Tuvaluan nodes: they also want to block nodes that have unknown country, since for all they know such nodes are also in Tuvalu. This behavior is controlled by a new GeoIPExcludeUnknown autobool option. With the default (auto) setting, we exclude ?? and A1 if any country is excluded. If the option is 1, we add ?? and A1 unconditionally; if the option is 0, we never add them. (Right now our geoip file doesn't actually seem to include A1: I'm including it here in case it comes back.) This feature only takes effect if you have a GeoIP file. Otherwise you'd be excluding every node.
2013-01-03Eliminate MaxOnionsPending; replace it with MaxOnionQueueDelayNick Mathewson
The right way to set "MaxOnionsPending" was to adjust it until the processing delay was appropriate. So instead, let's measure how long it takes to process onionskins (sampling them once we have a big number), and then limit the queue based on its expected time to finish. This change is extra-necessary for ntor, since there is no longer a reasonable way to set MaxOnionsPending without knowing what mix of onionskins you'll get. This patch also reserves 1/3 of the onionskin spots for ntor handshakes, on the theory that TAP handshakes shouldn't be allowed to starve their speedier cousins. We can change this later if need be. Resolves 7291.
