It + fixes several stability and reliability bugs, including a fix for + intermittent bootstrapping failures that some people have been seeing + since the 0.3.0.x series. + + Please test this alpha out -- many of these fixes will soon be + backported to stable Tor versions if no additional bugs are found + in them. + + o Major bugfixes (bootstrapping): + - Fetch descriptors aggressively whenever we lack enough to build + circuits, regardless of how many descriptors we are missing. + Previously, we would delay launching the fetch when we had fewer + than 15 missing descriptors, even if some of those descriptors + were blocking circuits from building. Fixes bug 23985; bugfix on + 0.1.1.11-alpha. The effects of this bug became worse in + 0.3.0.3-alpha, when we began treating missing descriptors from our + primary guards as a reason to delay circuits. + - Don't try fetching microdescriptors from relays that have failed + to deliver them in the past. Fixes bug 23817; bugfix + on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Minor features (directory authority): + - Make the "Exit" flag assignment only depend on whether the exit + policy allows connections to ports 80 and 443. Previously relays + would get the Exit flag if they allowed connections to one of + these ports and also port 6667. Resolves ticket 23637. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. + + o Minor features (linux seccomp2 sandbox): + - Update the sandbox rules so that they should now work correctly + with Glibc 2.26. Closes ticket 24315. + + o Minor features (logging): + - Downgrade a pair of log messages that could occur when an exit's + resolver gave us an unusual (but not forbidden) response. Closes + ticket 24097. + - Improve the message we log when re-enabling circuit build timeouts + after having received a consensus. Closes ticket 20963. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation): + - Fix a memory leak warning in one of the libevent-related + configuration tests that could occur when manually specifying + -fsanitize=address. Fixes bug 24279; bugfix on 0.3.0.2-alpha. + Found and patched by Alex Xu. + - When detecting OpenSSL on Windows from our configure script, make + sure to try linking with the ws2_32 library. Fixes bug 23783; + bugfix on 0.3.2.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (control port, linux seccomp2 sandbox): + - Avoid a crash when attempting to use the seccomp2 sandbox together + with the OwningControllerProcess feature. Fixes bug 24198; bugfix + on 0.2.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (control port, onion services): + - Report "FAILED" instead of "UPLOAD_FAILED" "FAILED" for the + HS_DESC event when a service is not able to upload a descriptor. + Fixes bug 24230; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (directory cache): + - Recover better from empty or corrupt files in the consensus cache + directory. Fixes bug 24099; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha. + - When a consensus diff calculation is only partially successful, + only record the successful parts as having succeeded. Partial + success can happen if (for example) one compression method fails + but the others succeed. Previously we misrecorded all the + calculations as having succeeded, which would later cause a + nonfatal assertion failure. Fixes bug 24086; bugfix + on 0.3.1.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging): + - Only log once if we notice that KIST support is gone. Fixes bug + 24158; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + - Suppress a log notice when relay descriptors arrive. We already + have a bootstrap progress for this so no need to log notice + everytime tor receives relay descriptors. Microdescriptors behave + the same. Fixes bug 23861; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (network layer): + - When closing a connection via close_connection_immediately(), we + mark it as "not blocked on bandwidth", to prevent later calls from + trying to unblock it, and give it permission to read. This fixes a + backtrace warning that can happen on relays under various + circumstances. Fixes bug 24167; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion services): + - The introduction circuit was being timed out too quickly while + waiting for the rendezvous circuit to complete. Keep the intro + circuit around longer instead of timing out and reopening new ones + constantly. Fixes bug 23681; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. + - Rename the consensus parameter "hsdir-interval" to "hsdir_interval" + so it matches dir-spec.txt. Fixes bug 24262; bugfix + on 0.3.1.1-alpha. + - Silence a warning about failed v3 onion descriptor uploads that + can happen naturally under certain edge cases. Fixes part of bug + 23662; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (tests): + - Fix a memory leak in one of the bridge-distribution test cases. + Fixes bug 24345; bugfix on 0.3.2.3-alpha. + - Fix a bug in our fuzzing mock replacement for crypto_pk_checksig(), + to correctly handle cases where a caller gives it an RSA key of + under 160 bits. (This is not actually a bug in Tor itself, but + rather in our fuzzing code.) Fixes bug 24247; bugfix on + 0.3.0.3-alpha. Found by OSS-Fuzz as issue 4177. + + o Documentation: + - Add notes in man page regarding OS support for the various + scheduler types. Attempt to use less jargon in the scheduler + section. Closes ticket 24254. + + Changes in version 0.3.2.4-alpha - 2017-11-08 Tor 0.3.2.4-alpha is the fourth alpha release in the 0.3.2.x series. It fixes several stability and reliability bugs, especially including
