+Torsocks 1.2
+2011-10-28 Robert Hogan <robert at roberthogan.net>
+
+ o Issue 32: Irssi locks connecting to hidden service
+
+ During connect() we can end up getting a EWOULDBLOCK/EAGAIN while
+ talking to the SOCKS proxy. This seems to happen when attempting
+ to read a SOCKSV4 connect response from Tor when using the command
+ 'torsocks irssi -c 4eiruntyxxbgfv7o.onion' for example.
+
+ EWOULDBLOCK isn't a valid error during connect(), so if we get it
+ don't return it to the client - use EINPROGRESS instead.
+
+ Diagnosed and patched by: foobi... at gmail.com
+
+
+ o Issue 27: Fix build system so 'make dist' works
+
+ "The current build system fails when trying to create a tarball using 'make dist'.
+ There are two problems here:
+
+ When creating a tarball for distribution with 'make dist', the header files at
+ src/*.h are not included and so the build fails. These should be listed in
+ libtorsocks_la_SOURCES.
+
+ Similarly, not having the prefix dist_ for the installation directories in doc/
+ means that these will not be included in the distribution tarball. Also, there
+ is no need to define custom *manpagedirs as the build system is man page aware."
+
+ Patch by Anthony Basile <blueness at gentoo.org>
+
+ o Issue 29: tordns no worky? - Part 2
+
+ This was a regression caused by splitting tsocks.c into socks.c and
+ torsocks.c. The 'requests' and 'pool' variables were declared static in the socks.h
+ header file with the result that the values were no longer shared between
+ source files.
+
+ Patch from foobi.. at gmail.com
+
+ o Issue 30: libtorsocks.so sanity check
+
+ "Currently if libtorsocks.so doesn't exist, torsocks will happily proceed without it,
+ and not use tor."
+
+ Check for libtorsocks.so and bail out if it isn't found.
+
+ o Issue 25: Building within a sandbox environment fails
+
+ When building in a sandbox environment, the build system's substitution variable,
+ @LD_PRELOAD@ is confused with the environment variable LD_PRELOAD and build fails
+ with an error that it cannot load ld.so.
+
+ By Renaming @LD_PRELOAD@ to @LDPRELOAD@, we disambiguate the two.
+
+ Patch by: Athony Basile (blueness at gentoo.org)
+
+ o Issue 26: common.h is a local header and should be included using #include "common.h"
+
+ Patch by: Anthony G Basile (blueness at gentoo.org)
+
+ o Clean up the build:
+ Remove some cruft from Makefile.am
+ Use $TORSOCKSLDFLAGS for libtorsocks and $TESTLDFLAGS
+ for test/test_torsocks.
+ Only run config.status once at configure time
+ Add missing doc/Makefile.am
+ Move patches directory to docs and update DEBUG readme
+ Move man pages and configuration files to docs folder
+ Clean up and comment configure.in
+ Fix compile warning on some versions of gcc. Seen on
+ i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5659)
+ Fix build on systems that export res_query a strange way
+ Reported by starslights.
+ Replace Makefile.cvs with autogen.sh
+ Fix copyright notice
+ Fix -lresolv on linux builds again
+ Use @libdir@ instead of @prefix@ in src/Makefile.am
+ Patch from Hicham Haouari.
+ Fixes build for Fedora 64-bit.
+
+ o Clean up the source tree:
+ Add documentation to 'make dist'
+ Fix funny malloc statement
+ Split SOCKS functions into separate file
+ Tidy up the file copyrights
+ More renaming of tsocks to torsocks
+ More whitespace cleanups
+ Whitespace cleanup in parser.h
+ Tidy up copyright in parser.h
+ Rename functions from tsocks* to torsocks*
+ Whitespace cleanups in common.c
+ Rename tsocks.h to torsocks.h
+ Rename tsocks.c to torsocks.c
+
+ o Remove the supplementary utilities inspectsocks, saveme and validateconf
+ as they've been disabled for some time now. They can be restored by popular demand if
+ necessary.
+
+ o Remove check that init() has been called
+ I think the pthread_mutex takes care of this problem now.
+
+ o Fix segfault
+ Occurred when tor not running, torsocks run in debug/test mode, and
+ gethostbyaddr() fails.
+
+ o Add a rudimentary test suite
+ Make tests compile and run on OSX
+ Compile and run tests on FreeBSD
+ Make tests compile and run on OpenBSD
+
+ o Compile and (apparently) work on OpenBSD
+
+ o Remove socksdns, tordns and hostnames configure options.
+
+ These options are defunct:
+ 1. socksdns (force dns lookups to use tcp)
+ torsocks does this by default, no reason to make it optional.
+ 2. tordns (force dns lookups through tor)
+ torsocks does this by default, option has been a no-op for a
+ long time.
+ 3. hostnames (resolve name of socks server if required)
+ potentially useful, but not really a good idea for tor.
+
+
+ o Fix 'symbol res_send() was not found in any shared library'
+
+ Solution found by Nicolas Pouillard (nicolas.pouillard at gmail.com).
+ However I am still not clear why this is necessary for just this
+ symbol on Linux.
+
+ To test that it works:
+ cd test/
+ gcc -fPIC -g -O2 -Wall -I. -o resinit resinit.c -lc -lresolv
+ cd ..
+ export TORSOCKS_DEBUG=2
+ torsocks test/resinit
+ Expected result:
+ 12:45:33 libtorsocks(21307): Got res_send request
+
+ http://code.google.com/p/torsocks/issues/detail?id=3
+
+ o Rename and clean up whitespace in the signature expansion header
+
+ o Refuse connections to local network addresses.
+ If a DNS request is made to a DNS server on a local network over
+ TCP we need to reject it. So for now, reject all attempts to connect
+ to servers on the local network using torsocks. If torsocks is used
+ with programs that expect to use local network services - this will
+ probably break them. I'm not aware of any.
+
+ o Prevent execution of suid/sgid programs by torsocks
+ We already do this in usewithtor. Closes off
+ http://code.google.com/p/torsocks/issues/detail?id=5
