It also adds a few small + safety features to improve Tor's behavior in the presence of strange + compile-time options, misbehaving proxies, and future versions + of OpenSSL. + + o Major bugfixes (relay, windows): + - Fix a bug in our implementation of condition variables on Windows. + Previously, a relay on Windows would use 100% CPU after running + for some time. Because of this change, Tor now require Windows + Vista or later to build and run. Fixes bug 30187; bugfix on + 0.2.6.3-alpha. (This bug became more serious in 0.3.1.1-alpha with + the introduction of consensus diffs.) Patch by Daniel Pinto. + + o Minor features (compilation): + - Disable deprecation warnings when building with OpenSSL 3.0.0 or + later. There are a number of APIs newly deprecated in OpenSSL + 3.0.0 that Tor still requires. (A later version of Tor will try to + stop depending on these APIs.) Closes ticket 40165. + + o Minor features (protocol, proxy support, defense in depth): + - Respond more deliberately to misbehaving proxies that leave + leftover data on their connections, so as to make Tor even less + likely to allow the proxies to pass their data off as having come + from a relay. Closes ticket 40017. + + o Minor features (safety): + - Log a warning at startup if Tor is built with compile-time options + that are likely to make it less stable or reliable. Closes + ticket 18888. + + o Minor bugfixes (circuit, handshake): + - In the v3 handshaking code, use connection_or_change_state() to + change the state. Previously, we changed the state directly, but + this did not pass the state change to the pubsub or channel + objects, potentially leading to bugs. Fixes bug 32880; bugfix on + 0.2.3.6-alpha. Patch by Neel Chauhan. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation): + - Use the correct 'ranlib' program when building libtor.a. + Previously we used the default ranlib, which broke some kinds of + cross-compilation. Fixes bug 40172; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. + - Remove a duplicate typedef in metrics_store.c. Fixes bug 40177; + bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. + - When USDT tracing is enabled, and STAP_PROBEV() is missing, don't + attempt to build. Linux supports that macro but not the BSDs. + Fixes bug 40174; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (configuration): + - Exit Tor on a misconfiguration when the Bridge line is configured + to use a transport but no corresponding ClientTransportPlugin can + be found. Prior to this fix, Tor would attempt to connect to the + bridge directly without using the transport, making it easier for + adversaries to notice the bridge. Fixes bug 25528; bugfix + on 0.2.6.1-alpha. + - Fix an issue where an ORPort was compared with other kinds of + ports, when it should have been only checked against other + ORPorts. This bug would lead to "DirPort auto" getting ignored. + Fixes bug 40195; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. + - Fix a bug where a second non-ORPort with a variant family (ex: + SocksPort [::1]:9050) would be ignored due to a configuration + parsing error. Fixes bug 40183; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (crash, relay, signing key): + - Avoid assertion failures when we run Tor from the command line + with `--key-expiration sign`, but an ORPort is not set. Fixes bug + 40015; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. Patch by Neel Chauhan. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging): + - Remove trailing whitespace from control event log messages. Fixes + bug 32178; bugfix on 0.1.1.1-alpha. Based on a patch by + Amadeusz Pawlik. + - Turn warning-level log message about SENDME failure into a debug- + level message. (This event can happen naturally, and is no reason + for concern). Fixes bug 40142; bugfix on 0.4.1.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (relay, address discovery): + - Don't trigger an IP change when no new valid IP can be found. + Fixes bug 40071; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. + - When attempting to discover our IP, use a simple test circuit, + rather than a descriptor fetch: the same address information is + present in NETINFO cells, and is better authenticated there. Fixes + bug 40071; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing): + - Fix the `config/parse_tcp_proxy_line` test so that it works + correctly on systems where the DNS provider hijacks invalid + queries. Fixes part of bug 40179; bugfix on 0.4.3.1-alpha. + - Fix unit tests that used newly generated list of routers so that + they check them with respect to the date when they were generated, + not with respect to the current time. Fixes bug 40187; bugfix + on 0.4.5.1-alpha. + - Fix our Python reference-implementation for the v3 onion service + handshake so that it works correctly with the version of hashlib + provided by Python 3.9. Fixes part of bug 40179; bugfix + on 0.3.1.6-rc. + - Fix the `tortls/openssl/log_one_error` test to work with OpenSSL + 3.0.0. Fixes bug 40170; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Removed features (controller): + - Remove the "GETINFO network-status" controller command. It has + been deprecated since 0.3.1.1-alpha. Closes ticket 22473. + + Changes in version 0.4.4.6 - 2020-11-12 Tor 0.4.4.6 is the second stable release in the 0.4.4.x series. It backports fixes from later releases, including a fix for TROVE-2020-
