+Changes in version 0.2.5.1-alpha - 2012-10-0?
+ Tor 0.2.5.1-alpha [...]
+
+ This is the first alpha release in a new series, so expect there to
+ be bugs. Users who would rather test out a more stable branch should
+ stay with 0.2.4.x for now.
+
+ o Major features (security):
+ - Use the seccomp2 syscall filtering facility on Linux to limit
+ which system calls Tor can invoke. This is an experimental,
+ Linux-only feature to provide defense-in-depth against unknown
+ attacks. To try turning it on, set "Sandbox 1" in your torrc
+ file. Please be ready to report bugs. We hope to add support
+ for better sandboxing in the future, including more fine-grained
+ filters, better division of responsibility, and support for more
+ platforms. This work has been done by Cristian-Matei Toader for
+ Google Summer of Code.
+ - Re-enable TLS 1.1 and 1.2 when built with OpenSSL 1.0.1e or later.
+ Resolves ticket 6055. (OpenSSL before 1.0.1 didn't have TLS 1.1 or
+ 1.2, and OpenSSL from 1.0.1 through 1.0.1d had bugs that prevented
+ renegotiation from working with TLS 1.1 or 1.2, so we had disabled
+ them to solve bug 6033.)
+
+ o Major features (other):
+ - Add support for passing arguments to managed pluggable transport
+ proxies. Implements ticket 3594.
+ - Bridges now track GeoIP information and the number of their users
+ even when pluggable transports are in use, and report usage
+ statistics in their extra-info descriptors. Resolves tickets 4773
+ and 5040.
+ - Make testing Tor networks bootstrap better: lower directory fetch
+ retry schedules and maximum interval without directory requests,
+ and raise maximum download tries. Implements ticket 6752.
+ - Add make target 'test-network' to run tests on a Chutney network.
+ Implements ticket 8530.
+ - The ntor handshake is now on-by-default, no matter what the
+ directory authorities recommend. Implements ticket 8561.
+
+ o Major bugfixes:
+ - Instead of writing destroy cells directly to outgoing connection
+ buffers, queue them and intersperse them with other outgoing cells.
+ This can prevent a set of resource starvation conditions where too
+ many pending destroy cells prevent data cells from actually getting
+ delivered. Reported by "oftc_must_be_destroyed". Fixes bug 7912;
+ bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
+ - If we are unable to save a microdescriptor to the journal, do not
+ drop it from memory and then reattempt downloading it. Fixes bug
+ 9645; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
+
+ o Build features:
+ - Tor now builds each source file in two modes: a mode that avoids
+ exposing identifiers needlessly, and another mode that exposes
+ more identifiers for testing. This lets the compiler do better at
+ optimizing the production code, while enabling us to take more
+ radical measures to let the unit tests test things.
+ - The production builds no longer include functions used only in
+ the unit tests; all functions exposed from a module only for
+ unit-testing are now static in production builds.
+ - Add an --enable-coverage configuration option to make the unit
+ tests (and a new src/or/tor-cov target) to build with gcov test
+ coverage support.
+
+ o Testing:
+ - We now have rudimentary function mocking support that our unit
+ tests can use to test functions in isolation. Function mocking
+ lets the tests temporarily replace a function's dependencies with
+ stub functions, so that the tests can check the function without
+ invoking the other functions it calls.
+ - Add more unit tests for the <circid,channel>->circuit map, and
+ the destroy-cell-tracking code to fix bug 7912.
+ - Unit tests for failing cases of the TAP onion handshake.
+ - More unit tests for address-manipulation functions.
+
+ o Minor features (config options):
+ - Config (torrc) lines now handle fingerprints which are missing
+ their initial '$'. Resolves ticket 4341; improvement over 0.0.9pre5.
+ - Support a --dump-config option to print some or all of the
+ configured options. Mainly useful for debugging the command-line
+ option parsing code. Helps resolve ticket 4647.
+ - Raise awareness of safer logging: notify user of potentially
+ unsafe config options, like logging more verbosely than severity
+ "notice" or setting SafeLogging to 0. Resolves ticket 5584.
+ - Add a new configuration option TestingV3AuthVotingStartOffset
+ that bootstraps a network faster by changing the timing for
+ consensus votes. Addresses ticket 8532.
+ - Add a new torrc option "ServerTransportOptions" that allows
+ bridge operators to pass configuration parameters to their
+ pluggable transports. Resolves ticket 8929.
+ - The config (torrc) file now accepts bandwidth and space limits in
+ bits as well as bytes. (Anywhere that you can say "2 Kilobytes",
+ you can now say "16 kilobits", and so on.) Resolves ticket 9214.
+ Patch by CharlieB.
+
+ o Minor features (build):
+ - Add support for `--library-versions` flag. Implements ticket 6384.
+ - Return the "unexpected sendme" warnings to a warn severity, but make
+ them rate limited, to help diagnose ticket 8093.
+ - Detect a missing asciidoc, and warn the user about it, during
+ configure rather than at build time. Fixes issue 6506. Patch from
+ Arlo Breault.
+
+ o Minor features (other):
+ - Use the SOCK_NONBLOCK socket type, if supported, to open nonblocking
+ sockets in a single system call. Implements ticket 5129.
+ - Log current accounting state (bytes sent and received + remaining
+ time for the current accounting period) in the relay's heartbeat
+ message. Implements ticket 5526; patch from Peter Retzlaff.
+ - Implement the TRANSPORT_LAUNCHED control port event that
+ notifies controllers about new launched pluggable
+ transports. Resolves ticket 5609.
+ - If we're using the pure-C 32-bit curve25519_donna implementation
+ of curve25519, build it with the -fomit-frame-pointer option to
+ make it go faster on register-starved hosts. This improves our
+ handshake performance by about 6% on i386 hosts without nacl.
+ Closes ticket 8109.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes:
+ - Set the listen() backlog limit to the largest actually supported
+ on the system, not to the value in a header file. Fixes bug 9716;
+ bugfix on every released Tor.
+ - No longer accept malformed http headers when parsing urls from
+ headers. Now we reply with Bad Request ("400"). Fixes bug 2767;
+ bugfix on 0.0.6pre1.
+ - In munge_extrainfo_into_routerinfo(), check the return value of
+ memchr(). This would have been a serious issue if we ever passed
+ it a non-extrainfo. Fixes bug 8791; bugfix on 0.2.0.6-alpha. Patch
+ from Arlo Breault.
+ - On the chance that somebody manages to build Tor on a
+ platform where time_t is unsigned, correct the way that
+ microdesc_add_to_cache() handles negative time arguments.
+ Fixes bug 8042; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
+ - Reject relative control socket paths and emit a warning. Previously,
+ single-component control socket paths would be rejected, but Tor
+ would not log why it could not validate the config. Fixes bug 9258;
+ bugfix on 0.2.3.16-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (command line):
+ - Use a single command-line parser for parsing torrc options on the
+ command line and for finding special command-line options to avoid
+ inconsistent behavior for torrc option arguments that have the same
+ names as command-line options. Fixes bugs 4647 and 9578; bugfix on
+ 0.0.9pre5.
+ - No longer allow 'tor --hash-password' with no arguments. Fixes bug
+ 9573; bugfix on 0.0.9pre5.
+
+ o Minor fixes (build, auxiliary programs):
+ - Stop preprocessing the "torify" script with autoconf, since
+ it no longer refers to LOCALSTATEDIR. Fixes bug 5505; patch
+ from Guilhem.
+ - The tor-fw-helper program now follows the standard convention and
+ exits with status code "0" on success. Fixes bug 9030; bugfix on
+ 0.2.3.1-alpha. Patch by Arlo Breault.
+ - Corrected ./configure advice for what openssl dev package you should
+ install on Debian. Fixes bug 9207; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor code improvements:
+ - Remove constants and tests for PKCS1 padding; it's insecure and
+ shouldn't be used for anything new. Fixes bug 8792; patch
+ from Arlo Breault.
+ - Remove instances of strcpy() from the unit tests. They weren't
+ hurting anything, since they were only in the unit tests, but it's
+ embarassing to have strcpy() in the code at all, and some analysis
+ tools don't like it. Fixes bug 8790; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha and
+ 0.2.3.8-alpha. Patch from Arlo Breault.
+
+ o Removed features:
+ - Remove migration code from when we renamed the "cached-routers"
+ file to "cached-descriptors" back in 0.2.0.8-alpha. This
+ incidentally resolves ticket 6502 by cleaning up the related code
+ a bit. Patch from Akshay Hebbar.
+
+ o Code simplification and refactoring:
+ - Extract the common duplicated code for creating a subdirectory
+ of the data directory and writing to a file in it. Fixes ticket
+ 4282; patch from Peter Retzlaff.
+ - Since OpenSSL 0.9.7, the i2d_*() functions support allocating output
+ buffer. Avoid calling twice: i2d_RSAPublicKey(), i2d_DHparams(),
+ i2d_X509(), and i2d_PublicKey(). Resolves ticket 5170.
+ - Add a set of accessor functions for the circuit timeout data
+ structure. Fixes ticket 6153; patch from "piet".
+ - Clean up exit paths from connection_listener_new(). Closes ticket
+ 8789. Patch from Arlo Breault.
+ - Since we rely on OpenSSL 0.9.8 now, we can use EVP_PKEY_cmp()
+ and drop our own custom pkey_eq() implementation. Fixes bug 9043.
+ - Use a doubly-linked list to implement the global circuit list.
+ Resolves ticket 9108. Patch from Marek Majkowski.
+ - Remove contrib/id_to_fp.c since it wasn't used anywhere.
+
+

- o Build features:
-
- - Tor now builds each source file in two modes: a mode that avoids
- exposing identifiers needlessly, and another mode that exposes
- more identifiers for testing. This lets the compiler do better at
- optimizing the production code, while enabling us to take more
- radical measures to let the unit tests test things.
-
- - The production builds no longer include functions used only
- in the unit tests; all functions exposed from a module for
- unit-testing only are now static in production builds.
-
- - Add an --enable-coverage configuration option to make the unit
- tests (and a new src/or/tor-cov target) to build with gcov test
- coverage support.
-
- o Testing:
-
- - We now have rudimentary function mocking support that our unit
- tests can use to test functions in isolation. Function mocking
- lets the tests temporarily replace a function's dependencies with
- stub functions, so that the tests can check the function without
- invoking the other functions it calls.
-
- - Add more unit tests for the <circid,channel>->circuit map, and
- the destroy-cell-tracking code to fix bug 7912.

- o Major features (security):
- - Use the seccomp2 syscall filtering facility on Linux to limit
- which system calls Tor can invoke. This is an experimental,
- Linux-only feature to provide defense-in-depth against unknown
