+Changes in version 0.4.0.1-alpha - 2019-01-18
+ blurb blurb blurb
+
+ o Major features (battery management, client, dormant mode):
+ - When Tor is running as a client, and it is unused for a long time,
+ it can now enter a "dormant" state. When Tor is dormant, it avoids
+ network activity and CPU wakeups until it is reawoken either by a
+ user request or by a controller command. For more information, see
+ the configuration options starting with "Dormant". Implements
+ tickets 2149 and 28335.
+ - The client's memory of whether it is "dormant", and how long it
+ has spend idle, persists across invocations. Implements
+ ticket 28624.
+ - There is a DormantOnFirstStartup option that integrators can use
+ if they expect that in many cases, Tor will be installed but
+ not used.
+
+ o Major features (bootstrap):
+ - Report the first connection to a relay as the earliest phases of
+ bootstrap progress, regardless of whether it's a connection for
+ building application circuits. This allows finer-grained reporting
+ of early progress than previously possible with the improvements
+ of ticket 27169. Closes tickets 27167 and 27103. Addresses
+ ticket 27308.
+ - Separately report the intermediate stage of having connected to a
+ proxy or pluggable transport, versus succesfully using that proxy
+ or pluggable transport to connect to a relay. Closes tickets 27100
+ and 28884.
+
+ o Major features (circuit padding):
+ - Implement preliminary support for the circuit padding portion of
+ Proposal 254. The implementation supports Adaptive Padding (aka
+ WTF-PAD) state machines for use between experimental clients and
+ relays. Support is also provided for APE-style state machines that
+ use probability distributions instead of histograms to specify
+ inter-packet delay. At the moment, Tor does not provide any
+ padding state machines that are used in normal operation -- this
+ feature exists solely for experimentation in this release. Closes
+ ticket 28142.
+
+ o Major features (refactoring):
+ - Tor now uses an explicit list of its own subsystems when
+ initializing and shutting down. Previously, these systems were
+ managed implicitly though various places throughout the codebase.
+ (There still some subsystems using the old system.) Closes
+ ticket 28330.
+
+ o Minor feature (bootstrap):
+ - When reporting bootstrap progress, stop distinguishing between
+ situations where it seems that only internal paths are available
+ and situations where it seems that external paths are available.
+ Previously, tor would often erroneously report that it had only
+ internal paths. Closes ticket 27402.
+
+ o Minor features (Continuous Integration):
+ - Log Python version during each Travis CI job. Resolves
+ issue 28551.
+
+ o Minor features (controller):
+ - Add a DROPOWNERSHIP command to undo the effects of TAKEOWNERSHIP.
+ Implements ticket 28843.
+
+ o Minor features (developer tooling):
+ - Provide a git hook script to prevent "fixup!" and "squash!"
+ commits from ending up in master. Closes ticket 27993.
+
+ o Minor features (directory authority):
+ - Directory authorities support a new consensus algorithm, under
+ which microdescriptor entries are encoded in a canonical form.
+ This improves their compressibility in transit and on the client.
+ Closes ticket 28266; implements proposal 298.
+
+ o Minor features (directory authority, relay):
+ - Authorities now vote on a "StaleDesc" flag to indicate that a
+ relay's descriptor is so old that the relay should upload again
+ soon. Relays understand this flag, and treat it as a signal to
+ upload a new descriptor. This flag will eventually let us remove
+ the 'published' date from routerstatus entries, and save a great
+ deal of space in our consensus diffs. Closes ticket 26770;
+ implements proposal 293.
+
+ o Minor features (fallback directory mirrors):
+ - Update the fallback whitelist based on operator opt-ins and opt-
+ outs. Closes ticket 24805, patch by Phoul.
+ - Accept fallbacks that deliver reasonably live consensuses.
+ (Consensuses that will become valid less than 24 hours in the
+ future, or that expired less than 24 hours ago.) Closes
+ ticket 28768.
+ - Accept relays that are a fuzzy match to a fallback whitelist
+ entry. If a relay matches at least one fingerprint, IPv4 address,
+ or IPv6 address in the fallback whitelist, it can become a
+ fallback. This reduces the work required to keep the list up to
+ date. Closes ticket 24838.
+
+ o Minor features (FreeBSD):
+ - Warn relay operators if the "net.inet.ip.random_id" sysctl (IP ID
+ randomization) is disabled on their relay if it is running on
+ FreeBSD based operating systems. Closes ticket 28518.
+
+ o Minor features (HTTP standards compliance):
+ - Don't send Content-Type: application/octet-stream for transparently
+ compressed documents, which confused browsers. Closes ticket 28100.
+
+ o Minor features (ipv6):
+ - We add an option ClientAutoIPv6ORPort which makes clients randomly
+ prefer a node's IPv4 or IPv6 ORPort. The random preference is set
+ every time a node is loaded from a new consensus or bridge config.
+ Closes ticket 27490. Patch by Neel Chauhan.
+ - When using addrs_in_same_network_family(), check IPv6 subnets as
+ well as IPv4 ones where possible when a client chooses circuit
+ paths. Previously, we used this function only for IPv4 subnets.
+ Closes ticket 24393. Patch by Neel Chauhan.
+
+ o Minor features (log messages):
+ - Improve log message in HSv3 service that could print out negative
+ revision counters. Closes ticket 27707. Patch by "ffmancera".
+
+ o Minor features (memory usage):
+ - Store microdescriptor family lists with a more compact
+ representation to save memory. Closes ticket 27359.
+ - Tor clients no longer need to keep the full text of a consensus in
+ memory in order to parse it, or apply a diff to it. Instead, they
+ use mmap() to read the consensus files from disk. Closes
+ ticket 27244.
+
+ o Minor features (parsing):
+ - Directory authorities now validate that router descriptors and
+ ExtraInfo documents are in a valid subset of UTF-8, and reject
+ them if not. Closes ticket 27367.
+
+ o Minor features (performance):
+ - Avoid parsing the same protocol-versions string over and over in
+ summarize_protover_flags(). This should save us a huge number of
+ malloc calls on startup, and may reduce memory fragmentation with
+ some allocators. Closes ticket 27225.
+ - Remove a needless memset() call from get_token_arguments, thereby
+ speeding up the tokenization of directory objects by about 20%.
+ Closes ticket 28852.
+ - Replace parse_short_policy() with a faster implementation, to
+ improve microdescriptor parsing time. Closes ticket 28853.
+ - Speed up directory parsing a little by avoiding use of the non-
+ inlined strcmp_len() function. Closes ticket 28856.
+ - Speed up microdesriptor parsing by about 30%, to help improve
+ startup time. Closes ticket 28839.
+
+ o Minor features (pluggable transports):
+ - Add support for emitting STATUS updates to Tor's control port from
+ a pluggable transport process. Closes ticket 28846.
+ - Add support for logging to Tor's logging subsystem from a
+ pluggable transport process. Closes ticket 28180
+
+ o Minor features (process management):
+ - Add new Process API for handling child processes. This new API
+ allows Tor to have bi-directional communication with child
+ processes on both Unix and Windows. Closes ticket 28179.
+ - Use the subsystem module to initialize and shut down the process
+ module. Closes ticket 28847.
+
+ o Minor features (relay):
+ - When listing relay families, list them in canonical form including
+ the relay's own identity, and try to give a more useful set of
+ warnings. Part of ticket 28266 and proposal 298.
+
+ o Minor features (required protocols):
+ - Tor no longer exits if it is missing a required protocol, if the
+ consensus that requires the protocol predates the release date of
+ the version of Tor. This change prevents Tor releases from exiting
+ because of an old cached consensus, on the theory that a newer
+ cached consensus might not require the protocol. Implements
+ proposal 297; closes ticket 27735.
+
+ o Minor features (testing):
+ - Allow HeartbeatPeriod of less than 30 minutes in testing Tor
+ networks. Closes ticket 28840, patch by robgjansen
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (client, bootstrap):
+ - When Tor's clock is behind the clocks on the authorities, allow
+ Tor to bootstrap successfully. Fixes bug 28591; bugfix
+ on 0.2.0.9-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (client, guard selection):
+ - When Tor's consensus has expired, but is still reasonably live,
+ use it to select guards. Fixes bug 24661; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
+ - Fix missing headers required for proper detection of OpenBSD. Fixes
+ bug 28938; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Patch from Kris Katterjohn.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (directory clients):
+ - Mark outdated dirservers when Tor only has a reasonably live
+ consensus. Fixes bug 28569; bugfix on 0.3.2.5-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (directory mirror):
+ - When Tor's clock is behind the clocks on the authorities, allow
+ Tor to serve future consensuses. Fixes bug 28654; bugfix
+ on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (DNS):
+ - Gracefully handle empty or absent resolve.conf file by falling
+ back to using localhost DNS service and hoping it works. Fixes bug
+ 21900; bugfix on 0.2.1.10-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (fallback scripts):
+ - In updateFallbackDirs.py, call the filter file a "fallback list"
+ instead of a "whitelist" in check_existing mode. Fixes bug 24953;
+ bugfix on 0.3.0.3-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (guards):
+ - In count_acceptable_nodes(), check if we have at least one bridge
+ or guard node, and two non-guard nodes for a circuit. Previously,
+ we have added up the sum of all nodes with a descriptor, but that
+ could cause us to build circuits that fail if we had either too
+ many bridges, or not enough guard nodes. Fixes bug 25885; bugfix
+ on 0.3.6.1-alpha. Patch by Neel Chauhan.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (IPv6):
+ - Fix tor_ersatz_socketpair on IPv6-only systems. Previously, the
+ IPv6 socket was bound using an address family of AF_INET instead
+ of AF_INET6. Fixes bug 28995; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Patch from
+ Kris Katterjohn.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (logging):
+ - Rework rep_hist_log_link_protocol_counts() to iterate through all
+ link protocol versions when logging incoming/outgoing connection
+ counts. Tor no longer skips version 5 and we don't have to
+ remember to update this function when new link protocol version is
+ developed. Fixes bug 28920; bugfix on 0.2.6.10.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (networking):
+ - Introduce additional checks into tor_addr_parse() to reject
+ certain incorrect inputs that previously were not detected. Fixes
+ bug 23082; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, client):
+ - Avoid a BUG() stacktrace in case a SOCKS connection is found
+ waiting for the descriptor while we do have it in the cache. There
+ is a rare case when this can happen. Now, tor will recover and
+ retry the descriptor. Fixes bug 28669; bugfix on 0.3.2.4-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (periodic events):
+ - Refrain from calling routerlist_remove_old_routers() from
+ check_descriptor_callback(). Instead, create a new periodic event
+ that will run once every hour even if Tor is not configured as
+ onion router. Fixes bug 27929; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (pluggable transports):
+ - Make sure that data is continously read from standard out and
+ error of the PT child-process to avoid deadlocking when the pipes'
+ buffer is full. Fixes bug 26360; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (unit tests):
+ - Instead of relying on hs_free_all() to clean up all onion service
+ objects we created in test_build_descriptors(), deallocate them
+ one by one. This lets Coverity know that we are not leaking memory
+ here and fixes CID 1442277. Fixes bug 28989; bugfix
+ on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (usability):
+ - Stop saying "Your Guard ..." in pathbias_measure_{use,close}_rate()
+ as that confusingly suggests that mentioned guard node is under
+ control and responsibility of end user, which it is not. Fixes bug
+ 28895; bugfix on Tor 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+
+ o Code simplification and refactoring:
+ - Reimplement NETINFO cell parsing and generation to rely on
+ trunnel-generated wire format handling code. Closes ticket 27325.
+ - Remove unnecessarily unsafe code from the rust macro cstr!. Closes
+ ticket 28077.
+ - Rework SOCKS wire format handling to rely on trunnel-generated
+ parsing/generation code. Resolves ticket 27620.
+ - Split out bootstrap progress reporting from control.c into a
+ separate file. Part of ticket 27402.
+ - The .may_include files that we use to describe our directory-by-
+ directory dependency structure now describe a noncircular
+ dependency graph over the directories that they cover. Our
+ checkIncludes.py tool now enforces this. Closes ticket 28362.
+
+ o Documentation:
+ - Mention that you cannot add new Onion Service if Tor is already
+ running with Sandbox enabled. Closes ticket 28560.
+ - Improve ControlPort description in tor manpage to mention that it
+ accepts address/port pair, and can be used multiple times. Closes
+ ticket 28805.
+ - Document the exact output of "tor --version". Closes ticket 28889.
+
+ o Removed features:
+ - Stop responding to 'GETINFO status/version/num-concurring' and
+ 'GETINFO status/version/num-versioning' control port commands, as
+ those were deprecated back in 0.2.0.30. Also stop listing them in
+ output of 'GETINFO info/names'. Resolves ticket 28757.
+ - The scripts used to generate and maintain the list of fallback
+ directories have been extracted into a new "fallback-scripts"
+ repository. Closes ticket 27914.
+
+ o Testing:
+ - Run shellcheck for stuff in scripts/ directory. Closes
+ ticket 28058.
+ - Write some unit tests for tokenize_string() and get_next_token()
+ functions. Resolves ticket 27625.
+
+ o Code simplification and refactoring (onion service v3):
+ - Consolidate the authorized client descriptor cookie computation
+ code from client and service into one function. Closes
+ ticket 27549.
+
+ o Code simplification and refactoring (shell scripts):
+ - Cleanup scan-build.sh to silence shellcheck warnings. Closes
+ ticket 28007.
+ - Fix issues that shellcheck found in chutney-git-bisect.sh.
+ Resolves ticket 28006.
+ - Fix issues that shellcheck found in updateRustDependencies.sh.
+ Resolves ticket 28012.
+ - Fix shellcheck warnings in cov-diff script. Resolves issue 28009.
+ - Fix shellcheck warnings in run_calltool.sh. Resolves ticket 28011.
+ - Fix shellcheck warnings in run_trunnel.sh. Resolves issue 28010.
+ - Fix shellcheck warnings in scripts/test/coverage. Resolves
+ issue 28008.
