+Changes in version 0.2.8.5-rc - 2016-07-07 + Tor 0.2.8.5-rc is the second release candidate in the Tor 0.2.8 + series. If we find no new bugs or regressions here, the first stable + 0.2.8 release will be identical to it. It has a few small bugfixes + against previous versions. + + o Directory authority changes: + - Urras is no longer a directory authority. Closes ticket 19271. + + o Major bugfixes (heartbeat): + - Fix a regression that would crash Tor when the periodic + "heartbeat" log messages were disabled. Fixes bug 19454; bugfix on + tor-0.2.8.1-alpha. Reported by "kubaku". + + o Minor features (build): + - Tor now again builds with the recent OpenSSL 1.1 development + branch (tested against 1.1.0-pre6-dev). Closes ticket 19499. + - When building manual pages, set the timezone to "UTC", so that the + output is reproducible. Fixes bug 19558; bugfix on 0.2.2.9-alpha. + Patch from intrigeri. + + o Minor bugfixes (fallback directory selection): + - Avoid errors during fallback selection if there are no eligible + fallbacks. Fixes bug 19480; bugfix on 0.2.8.3-alpha. Patch + by teor. + + o Minor bugfixes (IPv6, microdescriptors): + - Don't check node addresses when we only have a routerstatus. This + allows IPv6-only clients to bootstrap by fetching microdescriptors + from fallback directory mirrors. (The microdescriptor consensus + has no IPv6 addresses in it.) Fixes bug 19608; bugfix + on 0.2.8.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging): + - Reduce pointlessly verbose log messages when directory servers + can't be found. Fixes bug 18849; bugfix on 0.2.8.3-alpha and + 0.2.8.1-alpha. Patch by teor. + - When a fallback directory changes its fingerprint from the hard- + coded fingerprint, log a less severe, more explanatory log + message. Fixes bug 18812; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. Patch by teor. + + o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandboxing): + - Allow statistics to be written to disk when "Sandbox 1" is + enabled. Fixes bugs 19556 and 19957; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha and + 0.2.6.1-alpha respectively. + + o Minor bugfixes (user interface): + - Remove a warning message "Service [scrubbed] not found after + descriptor upload". This message appears when one uses HSPOST + control command to upload a service descriptor. Since there is + only a descriptor and no service, showing this message is + pointless and confusing. Fixes bug 19464; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. + + o Fallback directory list: + - Add a comment to the generated fallback directory list that + explains how to comment out unsuitable fallbacks in a way that's + compatible with the stem fallback parser. + - Update fallback whitelist and blacklist based on relay operator + emails. Blacklist unsuitable (non-working, over-volatile) + fallbacks. Resolves ticket 19071. Patch by teor. + - Update hard-coded fallback list to remove unsuitable fallbacks. + Resolves ticket 19071. Patch by teor. +
