+Changes in version 0.3.2.5-alpha - 2017-11-22
+ Tor 0.3.2.4-alpha is the fifth alpha release in the 0.3.2.x series. It
+ fixes several stability and reliability bugs, including a fix for
+ intermittent bootstrapping failures that some people have been seeing
+ since the 0.3.0.x series.
+
+ Please test this alpha out -- many of these fixes will soon be
+ backported to stable Tor versions if no additional bugs are found
+ in them.
+
+ o Minor features (directory authority):
+ - Make the "Exit" flag assignment only depend on whether the exit
+ policy allows connections to ports 80 and 443. Previously relays
+ would get the Exit flag if they allowed connections to one of
+ these ports and also port 6667. Resolves ticket 23637.
+
+ o Minor features (geoip):
+ - Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
+ Country database.
+
+ o Minor features (linux seccomp2 sandbox):
+ - Update the sandbox rules so that they should now work correctly
+ with Glibc 2.26. Closes ticket 24315.
+
+ o Minor features (logging):
+ - Downgrade a pair of log messages that could occur when an exit's
+ resolver gave us an unusual (but not forbidden) response. Closes
+ ticket 24097.
+ - Improve the message we log when re-enabling circuit build timeouts
+ after having received a consensus. Closes ticket 20963.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (bootstrapping):
+ - Fetch descriptors aggressively whenever we lack enough to build
+ circuits, regardless of how many descriptors we are missing.
+ Previously, we would delay launching the fetch when we had fewer
+ than 15 missing descriptors, even if some of those descriptors
+ were blocking circuits from building. Fixes bug 23985; bugfix on
+ 0.1.1.11-alpha. The effects of this bug became worse in
+ 0.3.0.3-alpha, when we began treating missing descriptors from our
+ primary guards as a reason to delay circuits.
+ - Don't try fetching microdescriptors from relays that have failed
+ to deliver them in the past. Fixes bug 23817; bugfix
+ on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
+ - Fix a memory leak warning in one of the libevent-related
+ configuration tests that could occur when manually specifying
+ -fsanitize=address. Fixes bug 24279; bugfix on 0.3.0.2-alpha.
+ Found and patched by Alex Xu.
+ - When detecting OpenSSL on Windows from our configure script, make
+ sure to try linking with the ws2_32 library. Fixes bug 23783;
+ bugfix on 0.3.2.2-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (control port, linux seccomp2 sandbox):
+ - Avoid a crash when attempting to use the seccomp2 sandbox together
+ with the OwningControllerProcess feature. Fixes bug 24198; bugfix
+ on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (control port, onion services):
+ - Report "FAILED" instead of "UPLOAD_FAILED" "FAILED" for the
+ HS_DESC event when a service is not able to upload a descriptor.
+ Fixes bug 24230; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (directory cache):
+ - Recover better from empty or corrupt files in the consensus cache
+ directory. Fixes bug 24099; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
+ - When a consensus diff calculation is only partially successful,
+ only record the successful parts as having succeeded. Partial
+ success can happen if (for example) one compression method fails
+ but the others succeed. Previously we misrecorded all the
+ calculations as having succeeded, which would later cause a
+ nonfatal assertion failure. Fixes bug 24086; bugfix
+ on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (logging):
+ - Only log once if we notice that KIST support is gone. Fixes bug
+ 24158; bugfix on 0.3.2
+ - Suppress a log notice when relay descriptors arrive. We already
+ have a bootstrap progress for this so no need to log notice
+ everytime tor receives relay descriptors. Microdescriptors behave
+ the same. Fixes bug 23861; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (network layer):
+ - When closing a connection via close_connection_immediately(), we
+ mark it as "not blocked on bandwidth", to prevent later calls from
+ trying to unblock it, and give it permission to read. This fixes a
+ backtrace warning that can happen on relays under various
+ circumstances. Fixes bug 24167; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (onion services):
+ - The introduction circuit was being timed out too quickly while
+ waiting for the rendezvous circuit to complete. Keep the intro
+ circuit around longer instead of timing out and reopening new ones
+ constantly. Fixes bug 23681; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
+ - Fix the consensus parameter "hsdir-interval" to "hsdir_interval"
+ so it matches the dir-spec.txt. Fixes bug 24262; bugfix
+ on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
+ - Silence a warning about failed v3 onion descriptor uploads that
+ can happen naturally under certain edge-cases. Fixes part of bug
+ 23662; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (tests):
+ - Fix a memory leak in one of the bridge-distribution test cases.
+ Fixes bug 24345; bugfix on 0.3.2.3-alpha.
+ - Fix a bug in our fuzzing mock replacement for crypto_pk_checksig(),
+ to correctly handle cases where a caller gives it an RSA key of
+ under 160 bits. (This is not actually a bug in Tor itself, but
+ wrather in our fuzzing code.) Fixes bug 24247; bugfix on
+ 0.3.0.3-alpha. Found by OSS-Fuzz as issue 4177.
+
+ o Documentation:
+ - Add notes in man page regarding OS support for the various
+ scheduler types. Attempt to use less jargon in the scheduler
+ section. Closes ticket 24254.
