[RELEASE] Tor 0.4.8.11
by David Goulet 10 Apr '24

10 Apr '24

Greetings, We just released tor 0.4.8.11. https://forum.torproject.org/t/stable-release-0-4-8-11/12265 Here is the ChangeLog. Changes in version 0.4.8.11 - 2024-04-10 This is a minor release mostly to upgrade the fallbackdir list. Worth noting also that directory authority running this version will now automatically reject relays running the end of life 0.4.7.x version. o Minor feature (authority): - Reject 0.4.7.x series at the authority level. Closes ticket 40896. o Minor feature (dirauth, tor26): - New IP address and keys. o Minor feature (directory authority): - Allow BandwidthFiles "node_id" KeyValue without the dollar sign at the start of the hexdigit, in order to easier database queries combining Tor documents in which the relays fingerprint does not include it. Fixes bug 40891; bugfix on 0.4.7 (all supported versions of Tor). o Minor features (fallbackdir): - Regenerate fallback directories generated on April 10, 2024. o Minor features (geoip data): - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as retrieved on 2024/04/10. o Minor bugfixes (directory authorities): - Add a warning when publishing a vote or signatures to another directory authority fails. Fixes bug 40910; bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha. Cheers! David -- hGC+wGuxU8cGa7qMZ0dChtr3rKmMLXWpwr7PX8zIlP8=
