Changes in version 0.3.2.1-alpha - 2017-09-18
- BLURB
+ Tor 0.3.2.1-alpha is the first release in the 0.3.2.x series. It
+ includes support for our next-generation ("v3") onion service
+ protocol, and adds a new circuit scheduler for more responsive
+ forwarding decisions from relays. There are also numerous other
+ small features and bugfixes here.
Below are the changes since Tor 0.3.1.7.

o Minor features (bug detection):
- Log a warning message, with stack trace, for any attempt to call
get_options() during option validation. Closes ticket 22281.
- o Minor features (client directory bandwidth tuning):
- - When downloading (micro)descriptors, don't split the list of
- descriptors into multiple requests unless there are at least 32
- descriptors that we want. Previously, we split at 4, not 32, which
- could lead to significant overhead in HTTP request size and
- degradation in compression performance. Closes ticket 23220.
-
o Minor features (client):
- You can now use Tor as a tunneled HTTP proxy: use the
HTTPTunnelPort option to open a port that accepts HTTP CONNECT
requests. Closes ticket 22407.
-
- o Minor features (client, entry guards):
- Add an extra check to make sure that we always use the new guard
selection code for picking our guards. Closes ticket 22779.

- Add GETINFO desc/download-enabled and md/download-enabled, to
inform the controller whether try to download router descriptors

- Added new GETINFO targets ip-to-country/{ipv4,ipv6}-available, so
controllers can tell whether the geoip databases are loaded.

- Add a unit test to verify that we can parse a hardcoded v2 hidden
service descriptor. Closes ticket 15554.
- o Minor bugfix (relay address resolution):
- - Avoid unnecessary calls to directory_fetches_from_authorities() on
