+Changes in version 0.2.8.10 - 2016-12-02 + Tor 0.2.8.10 backports a fix for a bug that would sometimes make clients + unusable after they left standby mode. It also backports fixes for + a few portability issues and a small but problematic memory leak. + + o Major bugfixes (client reliability, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha): + - When Tor leaves standby because of a new application request, open + circuits as needed to serve that request. Previously, we would + potentially wait a very long time. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix + on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (client performance, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha): + - Clients now respond to new application stream requests immediately + when they arrive, rather than waiting up to one second before + starting to handle them. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix + on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (portability, backport from 0.2.9.6-rc): + - Work around a bug in the OSX 10.12 SDK that would prevent us from + successfully targeting earlier versions of OSX. Resolves + ticket 20235. + + o Minor bugfixes (portability, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha): + - Fix implicit conversion warnings under OpenSSL 1.1. Fixes bug + 20551; bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (relay, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha): + - Work around a memory leak in OpenSSL 1.1 when encoding public + keys. Fixes bug 20553; bugfix on 0.0.2pre8. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 3 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. + +Changes in version 0.2.9.6-rc - 2016-12-02 + Tor 0.2.9.6-rc fixes a few remaining bugs found in the previous alpha + version. We hope that it will be ready to become stable soon, and we + encourage everyone to test this release. If no showstopper bugs are + found here, the next 0.2.9 release will be stable. + + o Major bugfixes (relay, resolver, logging): + - For relays that don't know their own address, avoid attempting a + local hostname resolve for each descriptor we download. This + will cut down on the number of "Success: chose address 'x.x.x.x'" + log lines, and also avoid confusing clock jumps if the resolver + is slow. Fixes bugs 20423 and 20610; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (client, fascistfirewall): + - Avoid spurious warnings when ReachableAddresses or FascistFirewall + is set. Fixes bug 20306; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (hidden services): + - Stop ignoring the anonymity status of saved keys for hidden + services and single onion services when first starting tor. + Instead, refuse to start tor if any hidden service key has been + used in a different hidden service anonymity mode. Fixes bug + 20638; bugfix on 17178 in 0.2.9.3-alpha; reported by ahf. + + o Minor bugfixes (portability): + - Work around a bug in the OSX 10.12 SDK that would prevent us from + successfully targeting earlier versions of OSX. Resolves + ticket 20235. + - Run correctly when built on Windows build environments that + require _vcsprintf(). Fixes bug 20560; bugfix on 0.2.2.11-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (single onion services, Tor2web): + - Stop complaining about long-term one-hop circuits deliberately + created by single onion services and Tor2web. These log messages + are intended to diagnose issue 8387, which relates to circuits + hanging around forever for no reason. Fixes bug 20613; bugfix on + 0.2.9.1-alpha. Reported by "pastly". + + o Minor bugfixes (unit tests): + - Stop spurious failures in the local interface address discovery + unit tests. Fixes bug 20634; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha; patch by + Neel Chauhan. + + o Documentation: + - Correct the minimum bandwidth value in torrc.sample, and queue a + corresponding change for torrc.minimal. Closes ticket 20085. + + Changes in version 0.2.9.5-alpha - 2016-11-08 Tor 0.2.9.5-alpha fixes numerous bugs discovered in the previous alpha version.
