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 0.4.4.4-rc. For a complete list of changes + since 0.4.4.7, see the ReleaseNotes file. + + o Major bugfixes (IPv6, relay): + - Fix a bug that prevented a relay from publishing its descriptor if + an auto-discovered IPv6 that was found unreachable. Fixes bug + 40279; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor features (protocol versions): + - Stop claiming to support the "DirCache=1" subprotocol version. + Technically, we stopped supporting this subprotocol back in + 0.4.5.1-alpha, but we needed to wait for the authorities to stop + listing it as "required" before we could drop it from the list. + Closes ticket 40221. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging): + - Avoid a spurious log message about missing subprotocol versions, + when the consensus that we're reading from is older than the + current release. Previously we had made this message nonfatal, but + in practice, it is never relevant when the consensus is older than + the current release. Fixes bug 40281; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (metrics port): + - Fix a bug warning when a metrics port socket was unexpectedly + closed. Fixes bug 40257; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha + + o Minor bugfixes (relay): + - Allow relays to have a RFC1918 address if PublishServerDescriptor + is set to 0 and AssumeReachable is set to 1. This is to support + the use case of a bridge on a local network, exposed via a + pluggable transport. Fixes bug 40208; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (relay, config): + - Fix a problem in the removal of duplicate ORPorts from the + internal port list when loading the config file. We were removing + the wrong ports, breaking valid torrc uses cases for multiple + ORPorts of the same address family. Fixes bug 40289; bugfix + on 0.4.5.1-alpha. + + Changes in version 0.4.4.7 - 2021-02-03 Tor 0.4.4.7 backports numerous bugfixes from later releases, including one that made v3 onion services more susceptible to -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
