+Changes in version 0.4.5.2-alpha - 2020-11-23
+ Tor 0.4.5.2-alpha is the second alpha release in the 0.4.5.2-alpha
+ series. It fixes several bugs present in earlier releases.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (crash, relay, signing key):
+ - Avoid asserts when we run Tor from the command line with
+ `--key-expiration sign` when an ORPort is not set. Fixes bug
+ 40015; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. Patch by Neel Chauhan.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (relay, windows):
+ - Fix bug where running a relay on Windows would use 100% CPU after
+ some time. Makes Windows >= Vista the required Windows version to
+ build and run tor. Fixes bug 30187; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. Patch
+ by Daniel Pinto.
+
+ o Minor features (compilation):
+ - Disable deprecation warnings when building with OpenSSL 3.0.0 or
+ later. There are a number of newly deprecated APIs in OpenSSL
+ 3.0.0 that Tor still requires. (A later version of Tor will try to
+ stop depending on these.) Closes ticket 40165.
+
+ o Minor features (protocol, proxy support, defense in depth):
+ - Respond more deliberately to misbehaving proxies that leave
+ leftover data on their connections, so as to be even less likely
+ as to allow them to pass their data off as having come from a
+ relay. Closes ticket 40017.
+
+ o Minor features (safety):
+ - Log a warning at startup if Tor is built with compile-time options
+ that are likely to make it less stable or reliable. Closes
+ ticket 18888.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (circuit, handshake):
+ - In the v3 handshaking code, Use connection_or_change_state() to
+ change the state. Previously, we changed the state directly, but
+ this did not pass a state change to the pubsub or channel object.
+ Fixes bug 32880; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha. Patch by Neel Chauhan.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (client, bridge, configuration):
+ - Exit tor on a misconfiguration when the Bridge line has a
+ transport but no corresponding ClientTransportPlugin can be found.
+ Prior to this fix, tor would attempt to connect to the bridge
+ directly without using the transport leading to a possible leak on
+ the wire. Fixes bug 25528; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
+ - Fix a compilation issue in which the correct 'ranlib' program was
+ not used when building libtor.a. Fixes bug 40172; bugfix
+ on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
+ - Remove a duplicate typedef in metrics_store.c. Fixes bug 40177;
+ bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (configuration, ports):
+ - Fix an issue where an ORPort was validated against other type of
+ ports when it should have been only checked against other ORPorts.
+ This lead to "DirPort auto" to be ignored and failing to be used.
+ Fixes bug 40195; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (configure, build):
+ - With USDT tracing enabled, if STAP_PROBEV() is missing, don't
+ attempt to build. Linux supports that macro but not the BSDs.
+ Fixes bug 40174; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (logging):
+ - Remove trailing whitespaces from control event log messages. Fixes
+ bug 32178; bugfix on 0.1.1.1-alpha. Based on a patch by
+ Amadeusz Pawlik.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (logging, flow control):
+ - Turn a SENDME failure log warning into a debug. It can actually
+ happen naturally. Fixes bug 40142; bugfix on 0.4.1.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (port configuration):
+ - Second non ORPort of a different family (ex: SocksPort [::1]:9050)
+ was ignored due to a logical configuration parsing error. Fixes
+ bug 40183; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (relay, address):
+ - Don't trigger an IP change if no new valid IP can be found. Fixes
+ bug 40071; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
+ - When attempting to discover our IP, don't launch a descriptor
+ fetch anymore but rather a simple test circuit since the address
+ discovery is through the NETINFO cell now from the authorities.
+ Fixes bug 40071; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (testing):
+ - Fix the config/parse_tcp_proxy_line test so that it works
+ correctly on systems where the DNS provider hijacks invalid
+ queries. Fixes part of bug 40179; bugfix on 0.4.3.1-alpha.
+ - Fix unit tests that used newly generated list of routers so that
+ they check them with respect to the date when they were generated,
+ not with respect to the current time. Fixes bug 40187; bugfix
+ on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (testing, portability):
+ - Fix our Python reference-implementation for the v3 onion service
+ handshake so that it works correctly with the version of hashlib
+ provided by Python 3.9. Fixes part of bug 40179; bugfix
+ on 0.3.1.6-rc.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (tests):
+ - Fix the "tortls/openssl/log_one_error" test to work with OpenSSL
+ 3.0.0. Fixes bug 40170; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+
+ o Removed features (controller):
+ - Remove the "GETINFO network-status" controller command. It has
+ been deprecated since 0.3.1.1-alpha. Closes ticket 22473.
