Hi! There's a new alpha; please enjoy! You can get it from https://dist.torproject.org/. We're getting closer and closer to a stable 0.4.1.x release, so any testing that we can get on this will be very appreciated. Changelog below: Changes in version 0.4.1.3-alpha - 2019-06-25 Tor 0.4.1.3-alpha resolves numerous bugs left over from the previous alpha, most of them from earlier release series. o Major bugfixes (Onion service reachability): - Properly clean up the introduction point map when circuits change purpose from onion service circuits to pathbias, measurement, or other circuit types. This should fix some service-side instances of introduction point failure. Fixes bug 29034; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. o Minor features (geoip): - Update geoip and geoip6 to the June 10 2019 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database. Closes ticket 30852. o Minor features (logging): - Give a more useful assertion failure message if we think we have minherit() but we fail to make a region non-inheritable. Give a compile-time warning if our support for minherit() is incomplete. Closes ticket 30686. o Minor bugfixes (circuit isolation): - Fix a logic error that prevented the SessionGroup sub-option from being accepted. Fixes bug 22619; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration): - Allow the test-stem job to fail in Travis, because it sometimes hangs. Fixes bug 30744; bugfix on 0.3.5.4-alpha. - Skip test_rebind on macOS in Travis, because it is unreliable on macOS on Travis. Fixes bug 30713; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. - Skip test_rebind when the TOR_SKIP_TEST_REBIND environment variable is set. Fixes bug 30713; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. o Minor bugfixes (directory authorities): - Stop crashing after parsing an unknown descriptor purpose annotation. We think this bug can only be triggered by modifying a local file. Fixes bug 30781; bugfix on 0.2.0.8-alpha. o Minor bugfixes (pluggable transports): - When running as a bridge with pluggable transports, always publish pluggable transport information in our extrainfo descriptor, even if ExtraInfoStatistics is 0. This information is needed by BridgeDB. Fixes bug 30956; bugfix on 0.4.1.1-alpha. o Documentation: - Mention URLs for Travis/Appveyor/Jenkins in ReleasingTor.md. Closes ticket 30630.

Hi! As planned, we will no longer be supporting the Tor 0.3.4.x series. If you want a series with long term support, you should be tracking 0.3.5.x. If you want the latest and greatest stable Tor, you should be shipping 0.4.0.x. If you want to ship alpha releases and help us with debugging, the alphas are currently 0.4.1.x. For more information about our release schedules and plans, please see https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTor… best wishes, -- Nick
