When + relays entered "soft" hibernation (which typically starts when + we've hit 90% of our AccountingMax), we had stopped checking + whether we should enter hard hibernation. Soft hibernation refuses + new connections and new circuits, but the existing circuits can + continue, meaning that relays could have exceeded their configured + AccountingMax. Fixes bug 32108; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (v3 onion services): + - Onion services now always use the exact number of intro points + configured with the HiddenServiceNumIntroductionPoints option (or + fewer if nodes are excluded). Before, a service could sometimes + pick more intro points than configured. Fixes bug 31548; bugfix + on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Minor feature (onion services, control port): + - The ADD_ONION command's keyword "BEST" now defaults to ED25519-V3 + (v3) onion services. Previously it defaulted to RSA1024 (v2). + Closes ticket 29669. + + o Minor features (testing): + - When running tests that attempt to look up hostnames, replace the + libc name lookup functions with ones that do not actually touch + the network. This way, the tests complete more quickly in the + presence of a slow or missing DNS resolver. Closes ticket 31841. + + o Minor features (testing, continuous integration): + - Disable all but one Travis CI macOS build, to mitigate slow + scheduling of Travis macOS jobs. Closes ticket 32177. + - Run the chutney IPv6 networks as part of Travis CI. Closes + ticket 30860. + - Simplify the Travis CI build matrix, and optimise for build time. + Closes ticket 31859. + - Use Windows Server 2019 instead of Windows Server 2016 in our + Appveyor builds. Closes ticket 32086. + + o Minor bugfixes (build system): + - Interpret "--disable-module-dirauth=no" correctly. Fixes bug + 32124; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + - Interpret "--with-tcmalloc=no" correctly. Fixes bug 32124; bugfix + on 0.2.0.20-rc. + - Stop failing when jemalloc is requested, but tcmalloc is not + found. Fixes bug 32124; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + - When pkg-config is not installed, or a library that depends on + pkg-config is not found, tell the user what to do to fix the + problem. Fixes bug 31922; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (connections): + - Avoid trying to read data from closed connections, which can cause + needless loops in Libevent and infinite loops in Shadow. Fixes bug + 30344; bugfix on 0.1.1.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (error handling): + - Always lock the backtrace buffer before it is used. Fixes bug + 31734; bugfix on 0.2.5.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (mainloop, periodic events, in-process API): + - Reset the periodic events' "enabled" flag when Tor is shut down + cleanly. Previously, this flag was left on, which caused periodic + events not to be re-enabled when Tor was relaunched in-process + with tor_api.h after a shutdown. Fixes bug 32058; bugfix + on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (process management): + - Remove overly strict assertions that triggered when a pluggable + transport failed to launch. Fixes bug 31091; bugfix + on 0.4.0.1-alpha. + - Remove an assertion in the Unix process backend. This assertion + would trigger when we failed to find the executable for a child + process. Fixes bug 31810; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing): + - Avoid intermittent test failures due to a test that had relied on + inconsistent timing sources. Fixes bug 31995; bugfix + on 0.3.1.3-alpha. + - When testing port rebinding, don't busy-wait for tor to log. + Instead, actually sleep for a short time before polling again. + Also improve the formatting of control commands and log messages. + Fixes bug 31837; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (tls, logging): + - Log bugs about the TLS read buffer's length only once, rather than + filling the logs with similar warnings. Fixes bug 31939; bugfix + on 0.3.0.4-rc. + + o Minor bugfixes (v3 onion services): + - Fix an implicit conversion from ssize_t to size_t discovered by + Coverity. Fixes bug 31682; bugfix on 0.4.2.1-alpha. + - Fix a memory leak in an unlikely error code path when encoding HS + DoS establish intro extension cell. Fixes bug 32063; bugfix + on 0.4.2.1-alpha. + - When cleaning up intro circuits for a v3 onion service, don't + remove circuits that have an established or pending circuit, even + if they ran out of retries. This way, we don't remove a circuit on + its last retry. Fixes bug 31652; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Documentation: + - Correct the description of "GuardLifetime". Fixes bug 31189; + bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + - Make clear in the man page, in both the bandwidth section and the + AccountingMax section, that Tor counts in powers of two, not + powers of ten: 1 GByte is 1024*1024*1024 bytes, not one billion + bytes. Resolves ticket 32106. + + Changes in version 0.4.2.2-alpha - 2019-10-07 This release fixes several bugs from the previous alpha release, and from earlier versions. It also includes a change in authorities, so
