If you want to see more detailed descriptions of the changes in each development snapshot, see the ChangeLog file. +Changes in version 0.4.5.8 - 2021-05-10 + Tor 0.4.5.8 fixes several bugs in earlier version, backporting fixes + from the 0.4.6.x series. + + o Minor features (compatibility, Linux seccomp sandbox, backport from 0.4.6.3-rc): + - Add a workaround to enable the Linux sandbox to work correctly + with Glibc 2.33. This version of Glibc has started using the + fstatat() system call, which previously our sandbox did not allow. + Closes ticket 40382; see the ticket for a discussion of trade-offs. + + o Minor features (compilation, backport from 0.4.6.3-rc): + - Make the autoconf script build correctly with autoconf versions + 2.70 and later. Closes part of ticket 40335. + + o Minor features (fallback directory list, backport from 0.4.6.2-alpha): + - Regenerate the list of fallback directories to contain a new set + of 200 relays. Closes ticket 40265. + + o Minor features (geoip data): + - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as + retrieved on 2021/05/07. + + o Minor features (onion services): + - Add warning message when connecting to now deprecated v2 onion + services. As announced, Tor 0.4.5.x is the last series that will + support v2 onions. Closes ticket 40373. + + o Minor bugfixes (bridge, pluggable transport, backport from 0.4.6.2-alpha): + - Fix a regression that made it impossible start Tor using a bridge + line with a transport name and no fingerprint. Fixes bug 40360; + bugfix on 0.4.5.4-rc. + + o Minor bugfixes (build, cross-compilation, backport from 0.4.6.3-rc): + - Allow a custom "ar" for cross-compilation. Our previous build + script had used the $AR environment variable in most places, but + it missed one. Fixes bug 40369; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (channel, DoS, backport from 0.4.6.2-alpha): + - Fix a non-fatal BUG() message due to a too-early free of a string, + when listing a client connection from the DoS defenses subsystem. + Fixes bug 40345; bugfix on 0.4.3.4-rc. + + o Minor bugfixes (compiler warnings, backport from 0.4.6.3-rc): + - Fix an indentation problem that led to a warning from GCC 11.1.1. + Fixes bug 40380; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (controller, backport from 0.4.6.1-alpha): + - Fix a "BUG" warning that would appear when a controller chooses + the first hop for a circuit, and that circuit completes. Fixes bug + 40285; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion service, client, memory leak, backport from 0.4.6.3-rc): + - Fix a bug where an expired cached descriptor could get overwritten + with a new one without freeing it, leading to a memory leak. Fixes + bug 40356; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing, BSD, backport from 0.4.6.2-alpha): + - Fix pattern-matching errors when patterns expand to invalid paths + on BSD systems. Fixes bug 40318; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. Patch by + Daniel Pinto. + + Changes in version 0.4.5.7 - 2021-03-16 Tor 0.4.5.7 fixes two important denial-of-service bugs in earlier versions of Tor.
