+Changes in version 0.4.1.6 - 2019-09-19 + This release backports several bugfixes to improve stability and + correctness. Anyone experiencing build problems or crashes with 0.4.1.5, + or experiencing reliability issues with single onion services, should + upgrade. + + o Major bugfixes (crash, Linux, Android, backport from 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - Tolerate systems (including some Android installations) where + madvise and MADV_DONTDUMP are available at build-time, but not at + run time. Previously, these systems would notice a failed syscall + and abort. Fixes bug 31570; bugfix on 0.4.1.1-alpha. + - Tolerate systems (including some Linux installations) where + madvise and/or MADV_DONTFORK are available at build-time, but not + at run time. Previously, these systems would notice a failed + syscall and abort. Fixes bug 31696; bugfix on 0.4.1.1-alpha. + + o Minor features (stem tests, backport from 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - Change "make test-stem" so it only runs the stem tests that use + tor. This change makes test-stem faster and more reliable. Closes + ticket 31554. + + o Minor bugfixes (build system, backport form 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - Do not include the deprecated <sys/sysctl.h> on Linux or Windows + systems. Fixes bug 31673; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - Add more stub functions to fix compilation on Android with link- + time optimization when --disable-module-dirauth is used. + Previously, these compilation settings would make the compiler + look for functions that didn't exist. Fixes bug 31552; bugfix + on 0.4.1.1-alpha. + - Suppress spurious float-conversion warnings from GCC when calling + floating-point classifier functions on FreeBSD. Fixes part of bug + 31687; bugfix on 0.3.1.5-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (controller protocol): + - Fix the MAPADDRESS controller command to accept one or more + arguments. Previously, it required two or more arguments, and ignored + the first. Fixes bug 31772; bugfix on 0.4.1.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (guards, backport from 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - When tor is missing descriptors for some primary entry guards, + make the log message less alarming. It's normal for descriptors to + expire, as long as tor fetches new ones soon after. Fixes bug + 31657; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - Change log level of message "Hash of session info was not as + expected" to LOG_PROTOCOL_WARN. Fixes bug 12399; bugfix + on 0.1.1.10-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (rust, backport from 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - Correctly exclude a redundant rust build job in Travis. Fixes bug + 31463; bugfix on 0.3.5.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (v2 single onion services, backport from 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - Always retry v2 single onion service intro and rend circuits with + a 3-hop path. Previously, v2 single onion services used a 3-hop + path when rendezvous circuits were retried after a remote or + delayed failure, but a 1-hop path for immediate retries. Fixes bug + 23818; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (v3 single onion services, backport from 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - Always retry v3 single onion service intro and rend circuits with + a 3-hop path. Previously, v3 single onion services used a 3-hop + path when rend circuits were retried after a remote or delayed + failure, but a 1-hop path for immediate retries. Fixes bug 23818; + bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + - Make v3 single onion services fall back to a 3-hop intro, when all + intro points are unreachable via a 1-hop path. Previously, v3 + single onion services failed when all intro nodes were unreachable + via a 1-hop path. Fixes bug 23507; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Documentation (backport from 0.4.2.1-alpha): + - Use RFC 2397 data URL scheme to embed an image into tor-exit- + notice.html so that operators no longer have to host it + themselves. Closes ticket 31089. + + Changes in version 0.4.1.5 - 2019-08-20 This is the first stable release in the 0.4.1.x series. This series adds experimental circuit-level padding, authenticated SENDME cells to
