+Changes in version 0.2.8.16 - 2017-10-25 + Tor 0.2.8.16 backports a collection of bugfixes from later Tor release + series, including a bugfix for a crash issue that had affected relays + under memory pressure. It also adds a new directory authority, Bastet. + + Note: the Tor 0.2.8 series will no longer be supported after 1 Jan + 2018. If you need a release with long-term support, please stick with + the 0.2.9 series. Otherwise, please upgrade to 0.3.1 or later. + + o Directory authority changes: + - Add "Bastet" as a ninth directory authority to the default list. + Closes ticket 23910. + - The directory authority "Longclaw" has changed its IP address. + Closes ticket 23592. + + o Major bugfixes (relay, crash, assertion failure, backport from 0.3.2.2-alpha): + - Fix a timing-based assertion failure that could occur when the + circuit out-of-memory handler freed a connection's output buffer. + Fixes bug 23690; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. + + o Minor features (directory authorities, backport from 0.3.2.2-alpha): + - Remove longclaw's IPv6 address, as it will soon change. Authority + IPv6 addresses were originally added in 0.2.8.1-alpha. This leaves + 3/8 directory authorities with IPv6 addresses, but there are also + 52 fallback directory mirrors with IPv6 addresses. Resolves 19760. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the October 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. + + Changes in version 0.2.8.15 - 2017-09-18 Tor 0.2.8.15 backports a collection of bugfixes from later Tor series.
