+Changes in version 0.2.2.28-beta - 2011-06-04
+ Tor 0.2.2.28-beta makes great progress towards a new stable release: we
+ fixed a big bug in whether relays stay in the consensus consistently,
+ we moved closer to handling bridges and hidden services correctly,
+ and we started the process of better handling the dreaded "my Vidalia
+ died, and now my Tor demands a password when I try to reconnect to it"
+ usability issue.
+
+ o Major bugfixes:
+ - Don't decide to make a new descriptor when receiving a HUP signal.
+ This bug has caused a lot of 0.2.2.x relays to disappear from the
+ consensus periodically. Fixes the most common case of triggering
+ bug 1810; bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha.
+ - Actually allow nameservers with IPv6 addresses. Fixes bug 2574.
+ - Don't try to build descriptors if "ORPort auto" is set and we
+ don't know our actual ORPort yet. Fix for bug 3216; bugfix on
+ 0.2.2.26-beta.
+ - Resolve a crash that occurred when setting BridgeRelay to 1 with
+ accounting enabled. Fixes bug 3228; bugfix on 0.2.2.18-alpha.
+ - Apply circuit timeouts to opened hidden-service-related circuits
+ based on the correct start time. Previously, we would apply the
+ circuit build timeout based on time since the circuit's creation;
+ it was supposed to be applied based on time since the circuit
+ entered its current state. Bugfix on 0.0.6; fixes part of bug 1297.
+ - Use the same circuit timeout for client-side introduction
+ circuits as for other four-hop circuits, rather than the timeout
+ for single-hop directory-fetch circuits; the shorter timeout may
+ have been appropriate with the static circuit build timeout in
+ 0.2.1.x and earlier, but caused many hidden service access attempts
+ to fail with the adaptive CBT introduced in 0.2.2.2-alpha. Bugfix
+ on 0.2.2.2-alpha; fixes another part of bug 1297.
+ - In ticket 2511 we fixed a case where you could use an unconfigured
+ bridge if you had configured it as a bridge the last time you ran
+ Tor. Now fix another edge case: if you had configured it as a bridge
+ but then switched to a different bridge via the controller, you
+ would still be willing to use the old one. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha;
+ fixes bug 3321.
+
+ o Major features:
+ - Add an __OwningControllerProcess configuration option and a
+ TAKEOWNERSHIP control-port command. Now a Tor controller can ensure
+ that when it exits, Tor will shut down. Implements feature 3049.
+ - If "UseBridges 1" is set and no bridges are configured, Tor will
+ now refuse to build any circuits until some bridges are set.
+ If "UseBridges auto" is set, Tor will use bridges if they are
+ configured and we are not running as a server, but otherwise will
+ make circuits as usual. The new default is "auto". Patch by anonym,
+ so the Tails LiveCD can stop automatically revealing you as a Tor
+ user on startup.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes:
+ - Fix warnings from GCC 4.6's "-Wunused-but-set-variable" option.
+ - Remove a trailing asterisk from "exit-policy/default" in the
+ output of the control port command "GETINFO info/names". Bugfix
+ on 0.1.2.5-alpha.
+ - Use a wide type to hold sockets when built for 64-bit Windows builds.
+ Fixes bug 3270.
+ - Warn when the user configures two HiddenServiceDir lines that point
+ to the same directory. Bugfix on 0.0.6 (the version introducing
+ HiddenServiceDir); fixes bug 3289.
+ - Remove dead code from rend_cache_lookup_v2_desc_as_dir. Fixes
+ part of bug 2748; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
+ - Log malformed requests for rendezvous descriptors as protocol
+ warnings, not warnings. Also, use a more informative log message
+ in case someone sees it at log level warning without prior
+ info-level messages. Fixes the other part of bug 2748; bugfix
+ on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
+ - Clear the table recording the time of the last request for each
+ hidden service descriptor from each HS directory on SIGNAL NEWNYM.
+ Previously, we would clear our HS descriptor cache on SIGNAL
+ NEWNYM, but if we had previously retrieved a descriptor (or tried
+ to) from every directory responsible for it, we would refuse to
+ fetch it again for up to 15 minutes. Bugfix on 0.2.2.25-alpha;
+ fixes bug 3309.
+ - Fix a log message that said "bits" while displaying a value in
+ bytes. Found by wanoskarnet. Fixes bug 3318; bugfix on
+ 0.2.0.1-alpha.
+ - When checking for 1024-bit keys, check for 1024 bits, not 128
+ bytes. This allows Tor to correctly discard keys of length 1017
+ through 1023. Bugfix on 0.0.9pre5.
+
+ o Minor features:
+ - Relays now log the reason for publishing a new relay descriptor,
+ so we have a better chance of hunting down instances of bug 1810.
+ Resolves ticket 3252.
+ - Revise most log messages that refer to nodes by nickname to
+ instead use the "$key=nickname at address" format. This should be
+ more useful, especially since nicknames are less and less likely
+ to be unique. Resolves ticket 3045.
+ - Log (at info level) when purging pieces of hidden-service-client
+ state because of SIGNAL NEWNYM.
+
+ o Removed options:
+ - Remove undocumented option "-F" from tor-resolve: it hasn't done
+ anything since 0.2.1.16-rc.
+
+
