-Changes in version 0.3.3.8 - 2018-07-09
- Tor 0.3.3.8 backports several changes from the 0.3.4.x series, including
- fixes for a memory leak affecting directory authorities.
+Changes in version 0.3.4.5-rc - 2018-07-13
+ Tor 0.3.4.5-rc moves to a new bridge authority, meaning people running
+ bridge relays should upgrade.
- o Major bugfixes (directory authority, backport from 0.3.4.3-alpha):
- - Stop leaking memory on directory authorities when planning to
- vote. This bug was crashing authorities by exhausting their
- memory. Fixes bug 26435; bugfix on 0.3.3.6.
+ o Directory authority changes:
+ - The "Bifroest" bridge authority has been retired; the new bridge
+ authority is "Serge", and it is operated by George from the
+ TorBSD project. Closes ticket 26771.
- o Major bugfixes (rust, testing, backport from 0.3.4.3-alpha):
- - Make sure that failing tests in Rust will actually cause the build
- to fail: previously, they were ignored. Fixes bug 26258; bugfix
- on 0.3.3.4-alpha.

+ Tor 0.3.2.11 moves to a new bridge authority, meaning people running
+ bridge relays should upgrade. We also take this opportunity to backport
+ other minor fixes.
+
+ o Directory authority changes:
+ - The "Bifroest" bridge authority has been retired; the new bridge
+ authority is "Serge", and it is operated by George from the
+ TorBSD project. Closes ticket 26771.
+
+ o Directory authority changes (backport from 0.3.3.7):
+ - Add an IPv6 address for the "dannenberg" directory authority.
+ Closes ticket 26343.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (directory authorities, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
+ - When directory authorities read a zero-byte bandwidth file, they
+ would previously log a warning with the contents of an
+ uninitialised buffer. They now log a warning about the empty file
+ instead. Fixes bug 26007; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (onion service, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
+ - Correctly detect when onion services get disabled after HUP. Fixes
+ bug 25761; bugfix on 0.3.2.1.
+
+ o Minor features (sandbox, backport from 0.3.3.4-alpha):
+ - Explicitly permit the poll() system call when the Linux
+ seccomp2-based sandbox is enabled: apparently, some versions of
+ libc use poll() when calling getpwnam(). Closes ticket 25313.
+
+ o Minor feature (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.3.5-rc):
+ - 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 (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
+ - Our .travis.yml configuration now includes support for testing the

+ - Our Travis CI configuration now integrates with the Coveralls
+ coverage analysis tool. Closes ticket 25818.

+ their descriptors without specifying why they regenerated them.

+ - When running the ntor_ref.py test, make sure only to pass strings
+ (rather than "bytes" objects) to the Python subprocess module.
+ Python 3 on Windows seems to require this. Fixes bug 26535; bugfix
+ on 0.2.5.5-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compatibility, openssl, backport from 0.3.4.2-alpha):
+ - Work around a change in OpenSSL 1.1.1 where return values that
+ would previously indicate "no password" now indicate an empty
+ password. Without this workaround, Tor instances running with
+ OpenSSL 1.1.1 would accept descriptors that other Tor instances
+ would reject. Fixes bug 26116; bugfix on 0.2.5.16.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (documentation, backport from 0.3.3.5-rc):
+ - 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.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.4.4-rc):
+ - Fix a compilation warning on some versions of GCC when building
+ code that calls routerinfo_get_my_routerinfo() twice, assuming
+ that the second call will succeed if the first one did. Fixes bug
+ 26269; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (client, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
+ - Don't consider Tor running as a client if the ControlPort is open,
+ but no actual client ports are open. Fixes bug 26062; bugfix
+ on 0.2.9.4-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (hardening, backport from 0.3.4.2-alpha):
+ - Prevent a possible out-of-bounds smartlist read in
+ protover_compute_vote(). Fixes bug 26196; bugfix on 0.2.9.4-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (C correctness, backport from 0.3.3.4-alpha):
+ - Fix a very unlikely (impossible, we believe) null pointer
+ dereference. Fixes bug 25629; bugfix on 0.2.9.15. Found by
+ Coverity; this is CID 1430932.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (onion service, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
+ - Fix a memory leak when a v3 onion service is configured and gets a
+ SIGHUP signal. Fixes bug 25901; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
+ - When parsing the descriptor signature, look for the token plus an
+ extra white-space at the end. This is more correct but also will
+ allow us to support new fields that might start with "signature".
+ Fixes bug 26069; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (relay, backport from 0.3.4.3-alpha):
+ - Relays now correctly block attempts to re-extend to the previous
+ relay by Ed25519 identity. Previously they would warn in this
+ case, but not actually reject the attempt. Fixes bug 26158; bugfix
+ on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (relay, crash, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
+ - Avoid a crash when running with DirPort set but ORPort turned off.
+ Fixes a case of bug 23693; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.4.2-alpha):
+ - Silence unused-const-variable warnings in zstd.h with some GCC
+ versions. Fixes bug 26272; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (testing, backport from 0.3.3.4-alpha):
+ - Avoid intermittent test failures due to a test that had relied on
+ onion service introduction point creation finishing within 5
+ seconds of real clock time. Fixes bug 25450; bugfix
+ on 0.3.1.3-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.3.4-alpha):
+ - Fix a C99 compliance issue in our configuration script that caused
+ compilation issues when compiling Tor with certain versions of
+ xtools. Fixes bug 25474; bugfix on 0.3.2.5-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (memory, correctness, backport from 0.3.4.4-rc):
+ - Fix a number of small memory leaks identified by coverity. Fixes
+ bug 26467; bugfix on numerous Tor versions.
+
+ o Code simplification and refactoring (backport from 0.3.3.5-rc):
+ - Move the list of default directory authorities to its own file.
+ Closes ticket 24854. Patch by "beastr0".
+
+
+Changes in version 0.2.9.16 - 2018-07-13
+ Tor 0.2.9.16 moves to a new bridge authority, meaning people running
+ bridge relays should upgrade. We also take this opportunity to backport
+ other minor fixes.
+
+ o Directory authority changes:
+ - The "Bifroest" bridge authority has been retired; the new bridge
+ authority is "Serge", and it is operated by George from the
+ TorBSD project. Closes ticket 26771.
+
+ o Directory authority changes (backport from 0.3.3.7):
+ - Add an IPv6 address for the "dannenberg" directory authority.
+ Closes ticket 26343.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (directory authorities, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
+ - When directory authorities read a zero-byte bandwidth file, they
+ would previously log a warning with the contents of an
+ uninitialised buffer. They now log a warning about the empty file
+ instead. Fixes bug 26007; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor features (sandbox, backport from 0.3.3.4-alpha):
+ - Explicitly permit the poll() system call when the Linux
+ seccomp2-based sandbox is enabled: apparently, some versions of
+ libc use poll() when calling getpwnam(). Closes ticket 25313.
+
+ o Minor features (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
+ - Our .travis.yml configuration now includes support for testing the
+ results of "make distcheck". (It's not uncommon for "make check"
+ to pass but "make distcheck" to fail.) Closes ticket 25814.
+ - Our Travis CI configuration now integrates with the Coveralls
+ coverage analysis tool. Closes ticket 25818.
+
+ o Minor features (compilation, backport from 0.3.4.4-rc):
+ - When building Tor, prefer to use Python 3 over Python 2, and more
+ recent (contemplated) versions over older ones. Closes
+ ticket 26372.
+
+ o Minor features (geoip):
+ - Update geoip and geoip6 to the July 3 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
+ Country database. Closes ticket 26674.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (correctness, client, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
+ - Upon receiving a malformed connected cell, stop processing the
+ cell immediately. Previously we would mark the connection for
+ close, but continue processing the cell as if the connection were
+ open. Fixes bug 26072; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
+ - Allow the nanosleep() system call, which glibc uses to implement
+ sleep() and usleep(). Fixes bug 24969; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (testing, compatibility, backport from 0.3.4.4-rc):
+ - When running the ntor_ref.py test, make sure only to pass strings
+ (rather than "bytes" objects) to the Python subprocess module.
+ Python 3 on Windows seems to require this. Fixes bug 26535; bugfix
+ on 0.2.5.5-alpha.
