+Changes in version 0.2.5.7-rc - 2014-09-11 + Tor 0.2.5.7-rc fixes several regressions from earlier in the 0.2.5.x + release series, and some long-standing bugs related to ORPort reachability + testing and failure to send CREATE cells. It is the first release + candidate for the Tor 0.2.5.x series. + + o Major bugfixes (client, startup): + - Start making circuits as soon as DisabledNetwork is turned off. + When Tor started with DisabledNetwork set, it would correctly + conclude that it shouldn't build circuits, but it would mistakenly + cache this conclusion, and continue believing it even when + DisableNetwork is set to 0. Fixes the bug introduced by the fix + for bug 11200; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha. + - Resume expanding abbreviations for command-line options. The fix + for bug 4647 accidentally removed our hack from bug 586 that + rewrote HashedControlPassword to __HashedControlSessionPassword + when it appears on the commandline (which allowed the user to set + her own HashedControlPassword in the torrc file while the + controller generates a fresh session password for each run). Fixes + bug 12948; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha. + - Warn about attempts to run hidden services and relays in the same + process: that's probably not a good idea. Closes ticket 12908. + + o Major bugfixes (relay): + - Avoid queuing or sending destroy cells for circuit ID zero when we + fail to send a CREATE cell. Fixes bug 12848; bugfix on 0.0.8pre1. + Found and fixed by "cypherpunks". + - Fix ORPort reachability detection on relays running behind a + proxy, by correctly updating the "local" mark on the controlling + channel when changing the address of an or_connection_t after the + handshake. Fixes bug 12160; bugfix on 0.2.4.4-alpha. + + o Minor features (bridge): + - Add an ExtORPortCookieAuthFileGroupReadable option to make the + cookie file for the ExtORPort g+r by default. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the August 7 2014 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging): + - Reduce the log severity of the "Pluggable transport proxy does not + provide any needed transports and will not be launched." message, + since Tor Browser includes several ClientTransportPlugin lines in + its torrc-defaults file, leading every Tor Browser user who looks + at her logs to see these notices and wonder if they're dangerous. + Resolves bug 13124; bugfix on 0.2.5.3-alpha. + - Downgrade "Unexpected onionskin length after decryption" warning + to a protocol-warn, since there's nothing relay operators can do + about a client that sends them a malformed create cell. Resolves + bug 12996; bugfix on 0.0.6rc1. + - Log more specific warnings when we get an ESTABLISH_RENDEZVOUS + cell on a cannibalized or non-OR circuit. Resolves ticket 12997. + - When logging information about an EXTEND2 or EXTENDED2 cell, log + their names correctly. Fixes part of bug 12700; bugfix + on 0.2.4.8-alpha. + - When logging information about a relay cell whose command we don't + recognize, log its command as an integer. Fixes part of bug 12700; + bugfix on 0.2.1.10-alpha. + - Escape all strings from the directory connection before logging + them. Fixes bug 13071; bugfix on 0.1.1.15. Patch from "teor". + + o Minor bugfixes (controller): + - Restore the functionality of CookieAuthFileGroupReadable. Fixes + bug 12864; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha. + - Actually send TRANSPORT_LAUNCHED and HS_DESC events to + controllers. Fixes bug 13085; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha. Patch + by "teor". + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation): + - Fix compilation of test.h with MSVC. Patch from Gisle Vanem; + bugfix on 0.2.5.5-alpha. + - Make the nmake make files work again. Fixes bug 13081. Bugfix on + 0.2.5.1-alpha. Patch from "NewEraCracker". + - In routerlist_assert_ok(), don't take the address of a + routerinfo's cache_info member unless that routerinfo is non-NULL. + Fixes bug 13096; bugfix on 0.1.1.9-alpha. Patch by "teor". + - Fix a large number of false positive warnings from the clang + analyzer static analysis tool. This should make real warnings + easier for clang analyzer to find. Patch from "teor". Closes + ticket 13036. + + o Distribution (systemd): + - Verify configuration file via ExecStartPre in the systemd unit + file. Patch from intrigeri; resolves ticket 12730. + - Explicitly disable RunAsDaemon in the systemd unit file. Our + current systemd unit uses "Type = simple", so systemd does not + expect tor to fork. If the user has "RunAsDaemon 1" in their + torrc, then things won't work as expected. This is e.g. the case + on Debian (and derivatives), since there we pass "--defaults-torrc + /usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc" (that contains + "RunAsDaemon 1") by default. Patch by intrigeri; resolves + ticket 12731. + + o Documentation: + - Adjust the URLs in the README to refer to the new locations of + several documents on the website. Fixes bug 12830. Patch from + Matt Pagan. + - Document 'reject6' and 'accept6' ExitPolicy entries. Resolves + ticket 12878. + + Changes in version 0.2.5.6-alpha - 2014-07-28 Tor 0.2.5.6-alpha brings us a big step closer to slowing down the risk from guard rotation, and fixes a variety of other issues to get
