+o Major bugfixes (performance, load balancing):
+
+Changes in version 0.3.3.5-rc - 2018-04-14
+ BLURB
+
+ - Directory authorities no longer vote in favor of the Guard flag for
+ relays that don't advertise directory support. Starting in Tor
+ 0.3.0.1-alpha, Tor clients have been avoiding using such relays in the
+ Guard position, leading to increasingly broken load balancing for the
+ 5%-or-so of Guards that don't advertise directory support. Fixes bug
+ 22310; bugfix on 0.3.0.6.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (protover, voting):
+ - Revise Rust implementation of protover to use a more memory-
+ efficient voting algorithm and corresponding data structures, thus
+ avoiding a potential (but small impact) DoS attack where specially
+ crafted protocol strings would expand to several potential
+ megabytes in memory. In the process, several portions of code were
+ revised to be methods on new, custom types, rather than functions
+ taking interchangeable types, thus increasing type safety of the
+ module. Custom error types and handling were added as well, in
+ order to facilitate better error dismissal/handling in outside
+ crates and avoid mistakenly passing an internal error string to C
+ over the FFI boundary. Many tests were added, and some previous
+ differences between the C and Rust implementations have been
+ remedied. Fixes bug 24031; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor feature (continuous integration):
+ - Update the Travis CI configuration to use the stable Rust channel,
+ now that we have decided to require that. Closes ticket 25714.
+
+ o Minor features (config options):
+ - Change the way the default value for MaxMemInQueues is calculated.
+ We now use 0.4 * RAM if the system have 8 GB RAM or more, otherwise
+ we use the former value of 0.75 * RAM. Closes ticket 24782.
+
+ o Minor features (geoip):
+ - Update geoip and geoip6 to the April 3 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
+ Country database. Closes ticket 25718.
+
+ o Minor bugfix (Exit node DNS retries):
+ - Re-attempt timed-out DNS queries 3 times before failure, since our
+ timeout is 5 seconds for them, but clients wait 10-15. Also allow
+ slightly more timeouts per resolver before giving up on it in the
+ case where an exit has multiple resolvers configured. Fixes bug
+ 21394; bugfix on 0.3.1.9.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (client):
+ - When using a listed relay as a bridge, and also using
+ microdescriptors, and considering that relay as a non-bridge in a
+ circuit, consider its microdescriptor as a valid source of
+ information about that relay. Fixes bug 25691; bugfix
+ on 0.3.3.4-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compilation, rust):
+ - Build correctly when the rust dependencies submodule is loaded,
+ but the TOR_RUST_DEPENDENCIES environment variable is not set.
+ Fixes bug 25679; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (configuration):
+ - Remove undescores from the _HSLayer{2,3}Nodes options. This
+ expert-user configuration can now be enabled as HSLayer{2,3}Nodes.
+ Fixes bug 25581; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (controller):
+ - Restore the correct operation of the RESOLVE command, which had
+ been broken since we added the ability to enable/disable DNS on
+ specific listener ports. Fixes bug 25617; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (distribution, compilation):
+ - Actually include all of our Rust source in our source
+ distributions. (Previously, a few of the files were accidentally
+ omitted.) Fixes bug 25732; bugfix on 0.3.3.2-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (documentation):
+ - Document that the PerConnBW{Rate,Burst} options will fall back to
+ their corresponding consensus parameters only if those parameters
+ are set. Previously we had claimed that these values would always
+ be set in the consensus. Fixes bug 25296; bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha.
+ - Revert a misformatting issue in the ExitPolicy documentation.
+ Fixes bug 25582; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (hidden services):
+ - Re-instate counting pending client HSDir fetch circuits against
+ the MaxClientCircuitsPending rate limit. Fixes bug 24989; bugfix
+ on 0.3.3.0-alpha-dev.
+
+ o Code simplification and refactoring:
+ - Move the list of default directory authorities to their own file
+ for inclusion using the C preprocessor. Closes ticket 24854. Patch
+ by "beastr0".
+
+ o Documentation (manpage, denial of service):
+ - Better detail the denial of service options by listing the
+ different mitigation in place. Closes ticket 25248.
