- Add support for offline encrypted ed25519 master keys. To use this
feature on your tor relay, run "tor --keygen" to make a new master
key (or to make a new signing key if you already have a master
key). Closes ticket 13642.
o Major features (Hidden services):
- - Add the torrc option HiddenServiceNumIntroductionPoints for an
- operator to specify a fix amount of introduction points. Maximum
- value is 10 and default is 3. Closes ticket 4862.
+ - Add the torrc option HiddenServiceNumIntroductionPoints, to
+ specify a fixed amount of introduction points. Its maximum value
+ is 10 and default is 3. Closes ticket 4862.
- Remove the adaptive algorithm for chosing the number of
introduction points, which tended to leak popularity information
by changing the amount of introduction points depending on the
amount of traffic the HS sees. Closes ticket 4862.
o Major features (onion key cross-certification):
- - Relay descriptors now include signatures of the identity keys
- using the TAP and ntor onion keys. This allows relays to prove
- ownership of their own onion keys. Because of this change,
- microdescriptors no longer need to include RSA identity keys.
- Implements proposal 228; closes ticket 12499.

+ o Major bugfixes (hidden services):
+ - When cannibalizing a circuit for an introduction point, always
+ extend to the chosen exit node (creating a 4 hop circuit).
+ Previously Tor would use the current circuit exit node, which
+ changed the original choice of introduction point, and could cause
+ the hidden service to skip excluded introduction points or
+ reconnect to a skipped introduction point. Fixes bug 16260; bugfix

o Major bugfixes (open file limit):
- - The max open file limit wasn't checked before calling
- tor_accept_socket_nonblocking() which made tor go beyond the open
- file limit set previously. With this fix, before opening a new
- socket, tor validates the open file limit just before and if the
- max has been reached, return EMFILE. Fixes bug 16288; bugfix
