If we find no + new bugs or regression here, then the first stable 0.3.3 release will + be nearly identical to this one. + + o Major bugfixes (security, protover, voting): + - Revise Rust implementation of protover to use a more memory- + efficient voting algorithm and corresponding data structures, thus + avoiding a potential memory-based DoS attack where specially + crafted protocol strings would expand to fill available memory. + Fixes bug 24031; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (performance, load balancing): + - Directory authorities no longer vote in favor of the Guard flag + for relays without directory support. Starting in Tor + 0.3.0.1-alpha, clients have been avoiding using such relays in the + Guard position, leading to increasingly broken load balancing for + the 5%-or-so of Guards that don't advertise directory support. + Fixes bug 22310; bugfix on 0.3.0.6. + + o Minor feature (continuous integration): + - Update the Travis CI configuration to use the stable Rust channel, + now that we have decided to require that. Closes ticket 25714. + + o Minor features (config options): + - Change the way the default value for MaxMemInQueues is calculated. + We now use 40% of the hardware RAM if the system has 8 GB RAM or + more. Otherwise we use the former value of 75%. Closes + ticket 24782. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the April 3 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. Closes ticket 25718. + + o Minor bugfixes (client): + - When using a listed relay as a bridge, and also using + microdescriptors, and considering that relay as a non-bridge in a + circuit, treat its microdescriptor as a valid source of + information about that relay. This change should prevent a non- + fatal assertion error. Fixes bug 25691; bugfix on 0.3.3.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (controller): + - Restore the correct operation of the RESOLVE command, which had + been broken since we added the ability to enable/disable DNS on + specific listener ports. Fixes bug 25617; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (distribution, compilation, rust): + - Build correctly when the rust dependencies submodule is loaded, + but the TOR_RUST_DEPENDENCIES environment variable is not set. + Fixes bug 25679; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + - Actually include all of our Rust source in our source + distributions. (Previously, a few of the files were accidentally + omitted.) Fixes bug 25732; bugfix on 0.3.3.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (documentation): + - Document that the PerConnBW{Rate,Burst} options will fall back to + their corresponding consensus parameters only if those parameters + are set. Previously we had claimed that these values would always + be set in the consensus. Fixes bug 25296; bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha. + - Revert a misformatting issue in the ExitPolicy documentation. + Fixes bug 25582; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (exit node DNS retries): + - Re-attempt timed-out DNS queries 3 times before failure, since our + timeout is 5 seconds for them, but clients wait 10-15. Also allow + slightly more timeouts per resolver when an exit has multiple + resolvers configured. Fixes bug 21394; bugfix on 0.3.1.9. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion services): + - Re-instate counting the client HSDir fetch circuits against the + MaxClientCircuitsPending rate limit. Fixes bug 24989; bugfix + on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + - Remove underscores from the _HSLayer{2,3}Nodes options. This + expert-user configuration can now be enabled as HSLayer{2,3}Nodes. + Fixes bug 25581; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha + + o Code simplification and refactoring: + - Move the list of default directory authorities to its own file. + Closes ticket 24854. Patch by "beastr0". + + o Documentation (manpage, denial of service): + - Provide more detail about the denial-of-service options, by + listing each mitigation and explaining how they relate. Closes + ticket 25248. + + Changes in version 0.3.3.4-alpha - 2018-03-29 Tor 0.3.3.4-alpha includes various bugfixes for issues found during the alpha testing of earlier releases in its series. We are
