Fixes the most common case of triggering + bug 1810; bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha. + - Actually allow nameservers with IPv6 addresses. Fixes bug 2574. + - Don't try to build descriptors if "ORPort auto" is set and we + don't know our actual ORPort yet. Fix for bug 3216; bugfix on + 0.2.2.26-beta. + - Resolve a crash that occurred when setting BridgeRelay to 1 with + accounting enabled. Fixes bug 3228; bugfix on 0.2.2.18-alpha. + - Apply circuit timeouts to opened hidden-service-related circuits + based on the correct start time. Previously, we would apply the + circuit build timeout based on time since the circuit's creation; + it was supposed to be applied based on time since the circuit + entered its current state. Bugfix on 0.0.6; fixes part of bug 1297. + - Use the same circuit timeout for client-side introduction + circuits as for other four-hop circuits, rather than the timeout + for single-hop directory-fetch circuits; the shorter timeout may + have been appropriate with the static circuit build timeout in + 0.2.1.x and earlier, but caused many hidden service access attempts + to fail with the adaptive CBT introduced in 0.2.2.2-alpha. Bugfix + on 0.2.2.2-alpha; fixes another part of bug 1297. + - In ticket 2511 we fixed a case where you could use an unconfigured + bridge if you had configured it as a bridge the last time you ran + Tor. Now fix another edge case: if you had configured it as a bridge + but then switched to a different bridge via the controller, you + would still be willing to use the old one. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha; + fixes bug 3321. + + o Major features: + - Add an __OwningControllerProcess configuration option and a + TAKEOWNERSHIP control-port command. Now a Tor controller can ensure + that when it exits, Tor will shut down. Implements feature 3049. + - If "UseBridges 1" is set and no bridges are configured, Tor will + now refuse to build any circuits until some bridges are set. + If "UseBridges auto" is set, Tor will use bridges if they are + configured and we are not running as a server, but otherwise will + make circuits as usual. The new default is "auto". Patch by anonym, + so the Tails LiveCD can stop automatically revealing you as a Tor + user on startup. + + o Minor bugfixes: + - Fix warnings from GCC 4.6's "-Wunused-but-set-variable" option. + - Remove a trailing asterisk from "exit-policy/default" in the + output of the control port command "GETINFO info/names". Bugfix + on 0.1.2.5-alpha. + - Use a wide type to hold sockets when built for 64-bit Windows builds. + Fixes bug 3270. + - Warn when the user configures two HiddenServiceDir lines that point + to the same directory. Bugfix on 0.0.6 (the version introducing + HiddenServiceDir); fixes bug 3289. + - Remove dead code from rend_cache_lookup_v2_desc_as_dir. Fixes + part of bug 2748; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha. + - Log malformed requests for rendezvous descriptors as protocol + warnings, not warnings. Also, use a more informative log message + in case someone sees it at log level warning without prior + info-level messages. Fixes the other part of bug 2748; bugfix + on 0.2.0.10-alpha. + - Clear the table recording the time of the last request for each + hidden service descriptor from each HS directory on SIGNAL NEWNYM. + Previously, we would clear our HS descriptor cache on SIGNAL + NEWNYM, but if we had previously retrieved a descriptor (or tried + to) from every directory responsible for it, we would refuse to + fetch it again for up to 15 minutes. Bugfix on 0.2.2.25-alpha; + fixes bug 3309. + - Fix a log message that said "bits" while displaying a value in + bytes. Found by wanoskarnet. Fixes bug 3318; bugfix on + 0.2.0.1-alpha. + - When checking for 1024-bit keys, check for 1024 bits, not 128 + bytes. This allows Tor to correctly discard keys of length 1017 + through 1023. Bugfix on 0.0.9pre5. + + o Minor features: + - Relays now log the reason for publishing a new relay descriptor, + so we have a better chance of hunting down instances of bug 1810. + Resolves ticket 3252. + - Revise most log messages that refer to nodes by nickname to + instead use the "$key=nickname at address" format. This should be + more useful, especially since nicknames are less and less likely + to be unique. Resolves ticket 3045. + - Log (at info level) when purging pieces of hidden-service-client + state because of SIGNAL NEWNYM. + + o Removed options: + - Remove undocumented option "-F" from tor-resolve: it hasn't done + anything since 0.2.1.16-rc. + + Changes in version 0.2.2.27-beta - 2011-05-18 Tor 0.2.2.27-beta fixes a bridge-related stability bug in the previous release, and also adds a few more general bugfixes.
