2021-11-08tor-spec: Complement and fix the protover timelineDavid Goulet
Relays started advertising Relay=3 in 0.4.5.1-alpha, see core/tor commit e787e521af9. Signed-off-by: David Goulet <dgoulet@torproject.org>

2021-05-13Document current circid selection behaviorNick Mathewson
2021-03-03Describe handling of END cells and half-open streams.Nick Mathewson
Originally designed in tor#25573 as part of a defense for the DropMark attack by Rochet and Pereira. Closes torspec#33.
2020-09-17Describe the actual RELAY cell padding algorithm that we use.Nick Mathewson
For indistinguishability, other implementations should pad the same way that we do.
2020-09-17tor-spec: describe the order in which we put link specifiers.Nick Mathewson
Right now, tor encodes them in a certain order; specifying that order can help other implementations be indistinguishable.
2020-09-17tor-spec: describe END cell format better.Nick Mathewson
2020-07-06Document relay commands for circpad cells.Mike Perry
2020-06-26Add a sentence about how the digest is calculated; closes tor#32830Nick Mathewson
2020-06-24Remove a very obsolete note about compatibility notesNick Mathewson
2020-06-17Rename a circuit end reason.Nick Mathewson
OR_CONN_CLOSED has been CHANNEL_CLOSED since 0.2.4.4-alpha.
2020-05-18tor-spec: Add Relay=3 protocol versionteor
With minor edits from the draft in proposal 311. Closes ticket 33227.
2020-04-28tor-spec: Do the same extend checks as torteor
Update the extend checks to match tor's implementation, particularly the comments in channel_tls_matches_target_method().
2020-04-28tor-spec: Explain the truncated reason betterteor
It's the payload of a DESTROY cell, but the data of a RELAY_TRUNCATED cell.
2020-04-28tor-spec: Extends accept all-zero ed25519 keysteor
The spec gives conficting advice about all-zero ed25519 keys in extends. Resolve this conflict by documenting tor's current behaviour. Also move a sentence about circuit IDs, so it's closer to the associated paragraph.
2019-12-10convert text blocks into widely compatible "blockquote" syntaxHans-Christoph Steiner
This only adds newline characters to make the existing text blocks act like "blockquote" or "code block" syntax in Markdown, asciidoc, and others. This was accomplished by manually reviewing the output of this script: ```bash for f in *.txt; do cat $f | python -c "import sys,re;print(re.sub(r'(\n {0,3}[^ \n][^\n]*\n)( {4,}[^\n]*)', r'\1\n\2', sys.stdin.read()))" > ${f}.tmp mv ${f}.tmp $f done ```

Signed-off-by: David Goulet <dgoulet@torproject.org>
2019-11-26fix erroneous header numbering punctuationHans-Christoph Steiner
The clear standard is trailing "." after each numeric section. This fixes the small handful of outliers. This makes it easy to convert these headers to common markup formats, for example: http://hyperpolyglot.org/lightweight-markup

2019-05-31tor-spec: Add authenticated SENDMEsDavid Goulet
This merges proposal 289 into tor-spec.txt. Most of the circuit-level flow control section has been rewritten to be clearer and better detail version 0 and 1. Closes #30365 Signed-off-by: David Goulet <dgoulet@torproject.org>

2018-12-06Specify protover support for circuit-level padding.George Kadianakis
2018-11-29Reword address format definition in section 4.5rl1987
Let's refrain from mentioning section 6.4 in here, as the format is not exactly the same - not all address type field values from section 6.4 make sense in NETINFO cell and NETINFO cell does not have a TTL value at the end of each address. It's a little confusing to suggest that there is a reuse of wire format fragment between RELAY_RESOLVED and NETINFO cells.

Closes 26870.

2018-07-20Clarify all-zeroes relay fingerprint behaviorTaylor Yu
The all-zeroes special case for EXTEND/EXTEND2 cells is for relay fingerprints/public keys, not cell crypto digests. Closes ticket 26893.
2018-07-20Say CREATE/CREATE2, etc. where neededTaylor Yu
Not all of the text describing CREATE, CREATED, EXTEND, or EXTENDED cells was updated when the "2"-suffixed versions were added. Closes ticket 26894.
