Hi! There are new security releases today. The official announcement just went to tor-announce, but I want to make sure that people on this list see it too. In brief: * Directory authorities should upgrade. * Relays running 0.3.2.1-alpha through 0.3.2.9 should upgrade. * Relays running 0.3.3.1-alpha should upgrade. * All other relays may wish to upgrade in order to improve their resistance to denial-of-service attacks. If you build Tor from source, the source code is available at https://dist.torproject.org/ . Packages should be available over the coming days. For the complete announcement, including changelogs, see https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-announce/2018-March/000152.html best wishes, -- Nick

The debian package showed up today. I upgraded from 3.2.9 to 3.2.10 and removed my firewall connection limits. My early first impressions are: DDoS mitigation seems to be working. CPU behavior has changed. Used to be around 100% (in htop) but the CPU frequencies was low (usually around 800MHz). With the new version the CPU usage is low, around 50%, but the CPU frequencies are around the maximum, 3800MHz, all the time (for all 4 cores). New code no longer allows the CPU to throttle down? Was expecting the annoying "Channel padding timeout" log notifications to be gone, not so. Hopefully in the next version.
