[RELEASE] Tor 0.4.8.14 stable
by David Goulet 05 Feb '25

05 Feb '25

Greetings, We just released tor 0.4.8.14. https://forum.torproject.org/t/stable-release-0-4-8-14/17242 Here is the ChangeLog: Changes in version 0.4.8.14 - 2025-02-05 Minor release fixing a major bug affecting onion service directory cache, also known as HSDir. Furthermore, the fallbackdir list had more than 25% of its entries unreachable or gone from the consensus. As usual, we strongly recommend to update to this version as soon as possible. o Major bugfixes (onion service directory cache): - When the OOM killer kicks in, cleanup the descriptor cache of an HSDir by looking at the lowest downloaded count instead of time in cache. Fixes bug 40996; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. o Minor feature (testing): - test-network now unconditionally includes IPv6 instead of trying to detect IPv6 support. o Minor features (fallbackdir): - Regenerate fallback directories generated on February 05, 2025. o Minor features (geoip data): - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as retrieved on 2025/02/05. o Minor bugfixes (memory): - Fix a pointer free that wasn't set to NULL afterwards which could be reused by calling back in the free all function. Fixes bug 40989; bugfix on 0.4.8.13. Cheers! David -- hH04sdDF8KiEr2kW7K1NBEXCBQNcrSHad2ksrzivfJM=
