+Changes in version 0.2.6.10 - 2015-07-12 + Tor version 0.2.6.10 fixes some significant stability and hidden + service client bugs, bulletproofs the cryptography init process, and + fixes a bug when using the sandbox code with some older versions of + Linux. Everyone running an older version, especially an older version + of 0.2.6, should upgrade. + + o Major bugfixes (hidden service clients, stability): + - Stop refusing to store updated hidden service descriptors on a + client. This reverts commit 9407040c59218 (which indeed fixed bug + 14219, but introduced a major hidden service reachability + regression detailed in bug 16381). This is a temporary fix since + we can live with the minor issue in bug 14219 (it just results in + some load on the network) but the regression of 16381 is too much + of a setback. First-round fix for bug 16381; bugfix + on 0.2.6.3-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (stability): + - Stop crashing with an assertion failure when parsing certain kinds + of malformed or truncated microdescriptors. Fixes bug 16400; + bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. Found by "torkeln"; fix based on a patch + by "cypherpunks_backup". + - Stop random client-side assertion failures that could occur when + connecting to a busy hidden service, or connecting to a hidden + service while a NEWNYM is in progress. Fixes bug 16013; bugfix + on 0.1.0.1-rc. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip to the June 3 2015 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database. + - Update geoip6 to the June 3 2015 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database. + + o Minor bugfixes (crypto error-handling): + - Check for failures from crypto_early_init, and refuse to continue. + A previous typo meant that we could keep going with an + uninitialized crypto library, and would have OpenSSL initialize + its own PRNG. Fixes bug 16360; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha, introduced + when implementing ticket 4900. Patch by "teor". + + o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox): + - Allow pipe() and pipe2() syscalls in the seccomp2 sandbox: we need + these when eventfd2() support is missing. Fixes bug 16363; bugfix + on 0.2.6.3-alpha. Patch from "teor". + + Changes in version 0.2.6.9 - 2015-06-11 Tor 0.2.6.9 fixes a regression in the circuit isolation code, increases the requirements for receiving an HSDir flag, and addresses some other small
