Bugfix on + 0.1.2.6-alpha; fixes bug 3732. + - If we're configured to write our ControlPorts to disk, only write + them after switching UID and creating the data directory. This way, + we don't fail when starting up with a nonexistent DataDirectory + and a ControlPortWriteToFile setting based on that directory. Fixes + bug 3747; bugfix on Tor 0.2.2.26-beta. + + o Minor features: + - Update to the August 2 2011 Maxmind GeoLite Country database. + + o Minor bugfixes: + - Allow GETINFO fingerprint to return a fingerprint even when + we have not yet built a router descriptor. Fixes bug 3577; + bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. + - Write several files in text mode, on OSes that distinguish text + mode from binary mode (namely, Windows). These files are: + 'buffer-stats', 'dirreq-stats', and 'entry-stats' on relays + that collect those statistics; 'client_keys' and 'hostname' for + hidden services that use authentication; and (in the tor-gencert + utility) newly generated identity and signing keys. Previously, + we wouldn't specify text mode or binary mode, leading to an + assertion failure. Fixes bug 3607. Bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha (when + the DirRecordUsageByCountry option which would have triggered + the assertion failure was added), although this assertion failure + would have occurred in tor-gencert on Windows in 0.2.0.1-alpha. + - Selectively disable deprecation warnings on OS X because Lion + started deprecating the shipped copy of openssl. Fixes bug 3643. + - When unable to format an address as a string, report its value + as "???" rather than reusing the last formatted address.
