It fixes several bugs present in earlier releases. + + o Major bugfixes (crash, relay, signing key): + - Avoid asserts when we run Tor from the command line with + `--key-expiration sign` when an ORPort is not set. Fixes bug + 40015; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. Patch by Neel Chauhan. + + o Major bugfixes (relay, windows): + - Fix bug where running a relay on Windows would use 100% CPU after + some time. Makes Windows >= Vista the required Windows version to + build and run tor. Fixes bug 30187; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. 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 newly deprecated APIs in OpenSSL + 3.0.0 that Tor still requires. (A later version of Tor will try to + stop depending on these.) 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 be even less likely + as to allow them 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 a state change to the pubsub or channel object. + Fixes bug 32880; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha. Patch by Neel Chauhan. + + o Minor bugfixes (client, bridge, configuration): + - Exit tor on a misconfiguration when the Bridge line has 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 leading to a possible leak on + the wire. Fixes bug 25528; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation): + - Fix a compilation issue in which the correct 'ranlib' program was + not used when building libtor.a. 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. + + o Minor bugfixes (configuration, ports): + - Fix an issue where an ORPort was validated against other type of + ports when it should have been only checked against other ORPorts. + This lead to "DirPort auto" to be ignored and failing to be used. + Fixes bug 40195; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (configure, build): + - With USDT tracing enabled, if 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 (logging): + - Remove trailing whitespaces from control event log messages. Fixes + bug 32178; bugfix on 0.1.1.1-alpha. Based on a patch by + Amadeusz Pawlik. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging, flow control): + - Turn a SENDME failure log warning into a debug. It can actually + happen naturally. Fixes bug 40142; bugfix on 0.4.1.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (port configuration): + - Second non ORPort of a different family (ex: SocksPort [::1]:9050) + was ignored due to a logical configuration parsing error. Fixes + bug 40183; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (relay, address): + - Don't trigger an IP change if no new valid IP can be found. Fixes + bug 40071; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. + - When attempting to discover our IP, don't launch a descriptor + fetch anymore but rather a simple test circuit since the address + discovery is through the NETINFO cell now from the authorities. + 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. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing, portability): + - 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. + + o Minor bugfixes (tests): + - 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.
