Tor 0.2.9.2-alpha XXXX BLURB HERE. + o Major features (user interface): + - Tor now supports the ability to declare options deprecated, so + that we can recommend that people stop using them. Previously, + this was done in an ad-hoc way. Closes ticket 19820. + + o Major bugfixes (directory downloads): + - Avoid resetting download status for consensuses hourly, since we + already have another, smarter retry mechanism. Fixes bug 8625; + bugfix on 0.2.0.9-alpha. + + o Minor features (config): + - Warn users when descriptor and port addresses are inconsistent. + Mitigates bug 13953; patch by teor. + o Minor features (geoip): - Update geoip and geoip6 to the August 2 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database. + o Minor features (user interface): + - There is a new --list-deprecated-options command-line option to + list all of the deprecated options. Implemented as part of + ticket 19820. + + o Minor bugfixes (code style): + - Fix an integer signedness conversion issue in the case conversion + tables. Fixes bug 19168; bugfix on 0.2.1.11-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation): + - Build correctly on versions of libevent2 without support for + evutil_secure_rng_add_bytes(). Fixes bug 19904; bugfix + on 0.2.5.4-alpha. + - Fix a compilation warning on GCC versions before 4.6. Our + ENABLE_GCC_WARNING macro used the word "warning" as an argument, + when it is also required as an argument to the compiler pragma. + Fixes bug 19901; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + o Minor bugfixes (compilation, also in 0.2.8.7): - Remove an inappropriate "inline" in tortls.c that was causing - warnings on older versions of GCC. Fixes bug 19903; bugfix on - 0.2.8.1-alpha. + warnings on older versions of GCC. Fixes bug 19903; bugfix + on 0.2.8.1-alpha. o Minor bugfixes (fallback directories, also in 0.2.8.7): - Avoid logging a NULL string pointer when loading fallback directory information. Fixes bug 19947; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha and 0.2.8.1-alpha. Report and patch by "rubiate". + o Minor bugfixes (logging): + - Log a more accurate message when we fail to dump a microdescriptor. + Fixes bug 17758; bugfix on 0.2.2.8-alpha. Patch from Daniel Pinto. + + o Minor bugfixes (memory leak): + - Fix a series of slow memory leaks related to parsing torrc files + and options. Fixes bug 19466; bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha. + + o Deprecated features: + - A number of DNS-cache-related sub-options for client ports are now + deprecated for security reasons, and may be removed in a future + version of Tor. (We believe that client-side DNS cacheing is a bad + idea for anonymity, and you should not turn it on.) The options + are: CacheDNS, CacheIPv4DNS, CacheIPv6DNS, UseDNSCache, + UseIPv4Cache, and UseIPv6Cache. + - A number of options are deprecated for security reasons, and may + be removed in a future version of Tor. The options are: + AllowDotExit, AllowInvalidNodes, AllowSingleHopCircuits, + AllowSingleHopExits, ClientDNSRejectInternalAddresses, + CloseHSClientCircuitsImmediatelyOnTimeout, + CloseHSServiceRendCircuitsImmediatelyOnTimeout, + ExcludeSingleHopRelays, FastFirstHopPK, TLSECGroup, + UseNTorHandshake, and WarnUnsafeSocks. + - The *ListenAddress options are now deprecated as unnecessary: the + corresponding *Port options should be used instead. These options + may someday be removed. The affected options are: + ControlListenAddress, DNSListenAddress, DirListenAddress, + NATDListenAddress, ORListenAddress, SocksListenAddress, + and TransListenAddress. + + o Documentation: + - Correct the IPv6 syntax in our documentation for the + VirtualAddrNetworkIPv6 torrc option. Closes ticket 19743. + + o Removed code: + - We no longer include the (dead, deprecated) bufferevent code in + Tor. Closes ticket 19450.
