Changes in version 0.2.9.2-alpha - 2016-08-2?
Tor 0.2.9.2-alpha XXXX BLURB HERE.
+ o Major features (user interface):
+ - Tor now supports the ability to declare options deprecated, so
+ that we can recommend that people stop using them. Previously,
+ this was done in an ad-hoc way. Closes ticket 19820.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (directory downloads):
+ - Avoid resetting download status for consensuses hourly, since we
+ already have another, smarter retry mechanism. Fixes bug 8625;
+ bugfix on 0.2.0.9-alpha.
+
+ o Minor features (config):
+ - Warn users when descriptor and port addresses are inconsistent.
+ Mitigates bug 13953; patch by teor.
+
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the August 2 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
+ o Minor features (user interface):
+ - There is a new --list-deprecated-options command-line option to
+ list all of the deprecated options. Implemented as part of
+ ticket 19820.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (code style):
+ - Fix an integer signedness conversion issue in the case conversion
+ tables. Fixes bug 19168; bugfix on 0.2.1.11-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
+ - Build correctly on versions of libevent2 without support for
+ evutil_secure_rng_add_bytes(). Fixes bug 19904; bugfix
+ on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
+ - Fix a compilation warning on GCC versions before 4.6. Our
+ ENABLE_GCC_WARNING macro used the word "warning" as an argument,
+ when it is also required as an argument to the compiler pragma.
+ Fixes bug 19901; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
+
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, also in 0.2.8.7):
- Remove an inappropriate "inline" in tortls.c that was causing
- warnings on older versions of GCC. Fixes bug 19903; bugfix on
- 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+ warnings on older versions of GCC. Fixes bug 19903; bugfix
+ on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (fallback directories, also in 0.2.8.7):
- Avoid logging a NULL string pointer when loading fallback
directory information. Fixes bug 19947; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha
and 0.2.8.1-alpha. Report and patch by "rubiate".
+ o Minor bugfixes (logging):
+ - Log a more accurate message when we fail to dump a microdescriptor.
+ Fixes bug 17758; bugfix on 0.2.2.8-alpha. Patch from Daniel Pinto.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (memory leak):
+ - Fix a series of slow memory leaks related to parsing torrc files
+ and options. Fixes bug 19466; bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha.
+
+ o Deprecated features:
+ - A number of DNS-cache-related sub-options for client ports are now
+ deprecated for security reasons, and may be removed in a future
+ version of Tor. (We believe that client-side DNS cacheing is a bad
+ idea for anonymity, and you should not turn it on.) The options
+ are: CacheDNS, CacheIPv4DNS, CacheIPv6DNS, UseDNSCache,
+ UseIPv4Cache, and UseIPv6Cache.
+ - A number of options are deprecated for security reasons, and may
+ be removed in a future version of Tor. The options are:
+ AllowDotExit, AllowInvalidNodes, AllowSingleHopCircuits,
+ AllowSingleHopExits, ClientDNSRejectInternalAddresses,
+ CloseHSClientCircuitsImmediatelyOnTimeout,
+ CloseHSServiceRendCircuitsImmediatelyOnTimeout,
+ ExcludeSingleHopRelays, FastFirstHopPK, TLSECGroup,
+ UseNTorHandshake, and WarnUnsafeSocks.
+ - The *ListenAddress options are now deprecated as unnecessary: the
+ corresponding *Port options should be used instead. These options
+ may someday be removed. The affected options are:
+ ControlListenAddress, DNSListenAddress, DirListenAddress,
+ NATDListenAddress, ORListenAddress, SocksListenAddress,
+ and TransListenAddress.
+
+ o Documentation:
+ - Correct the IPv6 syntax in our documentation for the
+ VirtualAddrNetworkIPv6 torrc option. Closes ticket 19743.
+
+ o Removed code:
+ - We no longer include the (dead, deprecated) bufferevent code in
+ Tor. Closes ticket 19450. Based on a patch from U+039b.
+
