+Changes in version 0.2.9.17 - 2018-09-10 + Tor 0.2.9.17 backports numerous bugfixes from later versions of Tor. + + o Minor features (compatibility, backport from 0.3.4.8): + - Tell OpenSSL to maintain backward compatibility with previous + RSA1024/DH1024 users in Tor. With OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre6, these + ciphers are disabled by default. Closes ticket 27344. + + o Minor features (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.4.7-rc): + - Enable macOS builds in our Travis CI configuration. Closes + ticket 24629. + - Install libcap-dev and libseccomp2-dev so these optional + dependencies get tested on Travis CI. Closes ticket 26560. + - Run asciidoc during Travis CI. Implements ticket 27087. + - Use ccache in our Travis CI configuration. Closes ticket 26952. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the August 7 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. Closes ticket 27089. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.4.6-rc): + - When compiling with --enable-openbsd-malloc or --enable-tcmalloc, + tell the compiler not to include the system malloc implementation. + Fixes bug 20424; bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.4.7-rc): + - Silence a spurious compiler warning on the GetAdaptersAddresses + function pointer cast. This issue is already fixed by 26481 in + 0.3.5 and later, by removing the lookup and cast. Fixes bug 27465; + bugfix on 0.2.3.11-alpha. + - Stop calling SetProcessDEPPolicy() on 64-bit Windows. It is not + supported, and always fails. Some compilers warn about the + function pointer cast on 64-bit Windows. Fixes bug 27461; bugfix + on 0.2.2.23-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation, windows, backport from 0.3.4.7-rc): + - Don't link or search for pthreads when building for Windows, even + if we are using build environment (like mingw) that provides a + pthreads library. Fixes bug 27081; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc. + + o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.4.6-rc): + - Skip a pair of unreliable key generation tests on Windows, until + the underlying issue in bug 26076 is resolved. Fixes bug 26830 and + bug 26853; bugfix on 0.2.7.3-rc and 0.3.2.1-alpha respectively. + + o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.4.7-rc): + - Pass the module flags to distcheck configure, and log the flags + before running configure. (Backported to 0.2.9 and later as a + precaution.) Fixes bug 27088; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.4.8): + - When a Travis build fails, and showing a log fails, keep trying to + show the other logs. Fixes bug 27453; bugfix on 0.3.4.7-rc. + - When we use echo in Travis, don't pass a --flag as the first + argument. Fixes bug 27418; bugfix on 0.3.4.7-rc. + + o Minor bugfixes (directory authority, backport from 0.3.4.6-rc): + - When voting for recommended versions, make sure that all of the + versions are well-formed and parsable. Fixes bug 26485; bugfix + on 0.1.1.6-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.4.7-rc): + - Fix a bug in out sandboxing rules for the openat() syscall. + Previously, no openat() call would be permitted, which would break + filesystem operations on recent glibc versions. Fixes bug 25440; + bugfix on 0.2.9.15. Diagnosis and patch from Daniel Pinto. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion services, backport from 0.3.4.8): + - Silence a spurious compiler warning in + rend_client_send_introduction(). Fixes bug 27463; bugfix + on 0.1.1.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (single onion services, Tor2web, backport from 0.3.4.6-rc): + - Log a protocol warning when single onion services or Tor2web clients + fail to authenticate direct connections to relays. + Fixes bug 26924; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing, backport from 0.3.4.6-rc): + - Disable core dumps in test_bt.sh, to avoid failures in "make + distcheck". Fixes bug 26787; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing, chutney, backport from 0.3.4.8): + - Before running make test-network-all, delete old logs and test + result files, to avoid spurious failures. Fixes bug 27295; bugfix + on 0.2.7.3-rc. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing, openssl compatibility, backport from 0.3.4.7-rc): + - Our "tortls/cert_matches_key" unit test no longer relies on + OpenSSL internals. Previously, it relied on unsupported OpenSSL + behavior in a way that caused it to crash with OpenSSL 1.0.2p. + Fixes bug 27226; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (Windows, compilation, backport from 0.3.4.7-rc): + - Silence a compilation warning on MSVC 2017 and clang-cl.
