We are + approaching a stable 0.3.3.4-alpha release: more testing is welcome! + + o New system requirements: + - When built with Rust, Tor now depends on version 0.2.39 of the + libc crate. Closes tickets 25310 and 25664. + + o Major bugfixes (relay, connection): + - If we have failed to connect to a relay and received a connection + refused, timeout, or similar error (at the TCP level), do not try + that same address again for 60 seconds after the failure has + occurred. Fixes bug 24767; bugfix on 0.0.6. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the March 8 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. Closes ticket 25469. + + o Minor features (log messages): + - Improve log message in the out-of-memory handler to include + information about memory usage from the different compression + backends. Closes ticket 25372. + + o Minor features (sandbox): + - Explicitly permit the poll() system call when the Linux + seccomp2-based sandbox is enabled: apparently, some versions of + libc use poll() when calling getpwnam(). Closes ticket 25313. + + o Minor bugfixes (C correctness): + - Fix a very unlikely (impossible, we believe) null pointer + dereference. Fixes bug 25629; bugfix on 0.2.9.15. Found by + Coverity; this is CID 1430932. + + o Minor bugfixes (channel, client): + - Better identify client connection when reporting to the geoip + client cache. Fixes bug 24904; bugfix on 0.3.1.7. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation): + - Fix a C99 compliance issue in our configuration script that caused + compilation issues when compiling Tor with certain versions of + xtools. Fixes bug 25474; bugfix on 0.3.2.5-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (controller, reliability): + - Avoid a (nonfatal) assertion failure when extending a one-hop + circuit from the controller to become a multihop circuit. Fixes + bug 24903; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (networking): + - Tor will no longer reject IPv6 address strings from TorBrowser + when they are passed as hostnames in SOCKS5 requests. Fixes bug + 25036, bugfix on Tor 0.3.1.2. + - string_is_valid_hostname() will not consider IP strings to be + valid hostnames. Fixes bug 25055; bugfix on Tor 0.2.5.5. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3): + - Avoid an assertion failure when the next the next onion service + descriptor rotation type is out of sync with the consensus's + valid-after time. Instead, log a warning message with extra + information, so we can better hunt down the cause of this + assertion. Fixes bug 25306; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing): + - Avoid intermittent test failures due to a test that had relied on + onion service introduction point creation finishing within 5 + seconds of real clock time. Fixes bug 25450; bugfix + on 0.3.1.3-alpha. + - Rust crates are now automatically detected and tested. Previously, + some crates were not tested by `make test-rust` due to a static + string in the `src/test/test_rust.sh` script specifying which + crates to test. Fixes bug 25560; bugfix on 0.3.3.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing, benchmarks): + - Fix a crash when running benchmark tests on win32 systems. The + crash was due to a mutex that wasn't initialized before logging + and options were initialized. Fixes bug 25479; bugfix + on 0.3.3.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (warnings, ipv6): + - Avoid a bug warning that could occur when trying to connect to a + relay over IPv6. This warning would occur on a Tor instance that + downloads router descriptors, but prefers to use microdescriptors. + Fixes bug 25213; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Code simplification and refactoring: + - Remove the old (deterministic) directory retry logic entirely: + We've used exponential backoff exclusively for some time. Closes + ticket 23814. + + o Documentation: + - Improved the documentation of AccountingStart parameter. Closes + ticket 23635. + - Update the documentation for "Log" to include the current list of + logging domains. Closes ticket 25378. + + Changes in version 0.3.3.3-alpha - 2018-03-03 Tor 0.3.3.3-alpha is the third alpha release for the 0.3.3.x series.
