06 Jun '24

Greetings, We just released tor 0.4.8.12: https://forum.torproject.org/t/stable-release-0-4-8-12/13060 Here is the ChangeLog. Changes in version 0.4.8.12 - 2024-06-06 This is a minor release with couple bugfixes affecting conflux and logging. We also have the return of faravahar directory authority with new keys and address. o Minor feature (dirauth): - Add back faravahar with a new address and new keys. Closes 40689. o Minor features (fallbackdir): - Regenerate fallback directories generated on June 06, 2024. o Minor features (geoip data): - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as retrieved on 2024/06/06. o Minor bugfix (circuit): - Remove a log_warn being triggered by a protocol violation that already emits a protocol warning log. Fixes bug 40932; bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha. o Minor bugfixes (conflux): - Avoid a potential hard assert (crash) when sending a cell on a Conflux set. Fixes bug 40921; bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha. - Make sure we don't process a closed circuit when packaging data. This lead to a non fatal BUG() spamming logs. Fixes bug 40908; bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha. Cheers! David -- UDjW8OCkZGhFDx/ok1rcq2Z9OdCBKV3j9cBvoU4i27o=
