Tor 0.4.1.4-rc is released

Hi all! Tor 0.4.1.4-rc is now available for download. This is a release candidate: we expect that the next release will be stable, and almost the same as this one, unless new major bugs are found. That's where you can help! If you can, please do what you can to get this one some testing. It will be far easier to fix any problems now than in a few weeks when it becomes stable. The download, per usual, is at https://dist.torproject.org. Here's the changelog: Changes in version 0.4.1.4-rc - 2019-07-25 Tor 0.4.1.4-rc fixes a few bugs from previous versions of Tor, and updates to a new list of fallback directories. If no new bugs are found, the next release in the 0.4.1.x serious should be stable. o Major bugfixes (circuit build, guard): - When considering upgrading circuits from "waiting for guard" to "open", always ignore circuits that are marked for close. Otherwise, we can end up in the situation where a subsystem is notified that a closing circuit has just opened, leading to undesirable behavior. Fixes bug 30871; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. o Minor features (continuous integration): - Our Travis configuration now uses Chutney to run some network integration tests automatically. Closes ticket 29280. o Minor features (fallback directory list): - Replace the 157 fallbacks originally introduced in Tor 0.3.5.6-rc in December 2018 (of which ~122 were still functional), with a list of 148 fallbacks (70 new, 78 existing, 79 removed) generated in June 2019. Closes ticket 28795. o Minor bugfixes (circuit padding): - On relays, properly check that a padding machine is absent before logging a warning about it being absent. Fixes bug 30649; bugfix on 0.4.1.1-alpha. - Add two NULL checks in unreachable places to silence Coverity (CID 144729 and 1447291) and better future-proof ourselves. Fixes bug 31024; bugfix on 0.4.1.1-alpha. o Minor bugfixes (crash on exit): - Avoid a set of possible code paths that could try to use freed memory in routerlist_free() while Tor was exiting. Fixes bug 31003; bugfix on 0.1.2.2-alpha. o Minor bugfixes (logging): - Fix a conflict between the flag used for messaging-domain log messages, and the LD_NO_MOCK testing flag. Fixes bug 31080; bugfix on 0.4.1.1-alpha. o Minor bugfixes (memory leaks): - Fix a trivial memory leak when parsing an invalid value from a download schedule in the configuration. Fixes bug 30894; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. o Code simplification and refactoring: - Remove some dead code from circpad_machine_remove_token() to fix some Coverity warnings (CID 1447298). Fixes bug 31027; bugfix on 0.4.1.1-alpha. -- Nick
