From 9e2435c25fd48765a6c298c7f0bb7739ba495580 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Mathewson Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2020 08:46:07 -0400 Subject: Copy changelog and releasenotes for 0.4.4.5 to master. --- ChangeLog | 61 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 61 insertions(+) (limited to 'ChangeLog') diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index dff7e552f6..d4c764fa21 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,64 @@ +Changes in version 0.4.4.5 - 2020-09-15 + Tor 0.4.4.5 is the first stable release in the 0.4.4.x series. This + series improves our guard selection algorithms, adds v3 onion balance + support, improves the amount of code that can be disabled when running + without relay support, and includes numerous small bugfixes and + enhancements. It also lays the ground for some IPv6 features that + we'll be developing more in the next (0.4.5) series. + + Per our support policy, we support each stable release series for nine + months after its first stable release, or three months after the first + stable release of the next series: whichever is longer. This means + that 0.4.4.x will be supported until around June 2021--or later, if + 0.4.5.x is later than anticipated. + + Note also that support for 0.4.2.x has just ended; support for 0.4.3 + will continue until Feb 15, 2021. We still plan to continue supporting + 0.3.5.x, our long-term stable series, until Feb 2022. + + Below are the changes since 0.4.4.4-rc. For a complete list of changes + since 0.4.3.6, see the ReleaseNotes file. + + o Major bugfixes (onion services, DoS): + - Correct handling of parameters for the onion service DoS defense. + Previously, the consensus parameters for the onion service DoS + defenses were overwriting the parameters set by the service + operator using HiddenServiceEnableIntroDoSDefense. Fixes bug + 40109; bugfix on 0.4.2.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (stats, onion services): + - Fix a bug where we were undercounting the Tor network's total + onion service traffic, by ignoring any traffic originating from + clients. Now we count traffic from both clients and services. + Fixes bug 40117; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha. + + o Minor features (control port): + - If a ClientName was specified in ONION_CLIENT_AUTH_ADD for an + onion service, display it when we use ONION_CLIENT_AUTH_VIEW. + Closes ticket 40089. Patch by Neel Chauhan. + + o Minor features (denial-of-service memory limiter): + - Allow the user to configure even lower values for the + MaxMemInQueues parameter. Relays now enforce a minimum of 64 MB, + when previously the minimum was 256 MB. On clients, there is no + minimum. Relays and clients will both warn if the value is set so + low that Tor is likely to stop working. Closes ticket 24308. + + o Minor features (tests): + - Our "make check" target now runs the unit tests in 8 parallel + chunks. Doing this speeds up hardened CI builds by more than a + factor of two. Closes ticket 40098. + + o Minor bugfixes (guard selection algorithm): + - Avoid needless guard-related warning when upgrading from 0.4.3 to + 0.4.4. Fixes bug 40105; bugfix on 0.4.4.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (tests): + - Fix the behavior of the rend_cache/clean_v2_descs_as_dir when run + on its own. Previously, it would exit with an error. Fixes bug + 40099; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + Changes in version 0.4.4.3-alpha - 2020-07-27 Tor 0.4.4.3-alpha fixes several annoyances in previous versions, including one affecting NSS users, and several affecting the Linux -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
