+Changes in version 0.3.4.10 - 2018-01-07
+ Tor 0.3.4.9 is the second stable release in its series; it backports
+ numerous fixes, including an important fix for relays, and for anyone
+ using OpenSSL 1.1.1. Anyone running an earlier version of Tor 0.3.4
+ should upgrade.
+
+ As a reminder, the Tor 0.3.4 series will be supported until 10 June
+ 2019. Some time between now and then, users should switch to the Tor
+ 0.3.5 series, which will receive long-term support until at least 1
+ Feb 2022.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (OpenSSL, portability, backport from 0.3.5.5-alpha):
+ - Fix our usage of named groups when running as a TLS 1.3 client in
+ OpenSSL 1.1.1. Previously, we only initialized EC groups when
+ running as a relay, which caused clients to fail to negotiate TLS
+ 1.3 with relays. Fixes bug 28245; bugfix on 0.2.9.15 (when TLS 1.3
+ support was added).
+
+ o Major bugfixes (relay, directory, backport from 0.3.5.7):
+ - Always reactivate linked connections in the main loop so long as
+ any linked connection has been active. Previously, connections
+ serving directory information wouldn't get reactivated after the
+ first chunk of data was sent (usually 32KB), which would prevent
+ clients from bootstrapping. Fixes bug 28912; bugfix on
+ 0.3.4.1-alpha. Patch by "cypherpunks3".
+
+ o Minor features (continuous integration, Windows, backport from 0.3.5.6-rc):
+ - Always show the configure and test logs, and upload them as build
+ artifacts, when building for Windows using Appveyor CI.
+ Implements 28459.
+
+ o Minor features (controller, backport from 0.3.5.1-alpha):
+ - For purposes of CIRC_BW-based dropped cell detection, track half-
+ closed stream ids, and allow their ENDs, SENDMEs, DATA and path
+ bias check cells to arrive without counting it as dropped until
+ either the END arrives, or the windows are empty. Closes
+ ticket 25573.
+
+ o Minor features (fallback directory list, backport from 0.3.5.6-rc):
+ - Replace the 150 fallbacks originally introduced in Tor
+ 0.3.3.1-alpha in January 2018 (of which ~115 were still
+ functional), with a list of 157 fallbacks (92 new, 65 existing, 85
+ removed) generated in December 2018. Closes ticket 24803.
+
+ o Minor features (geoip):
+ - Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 6 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
+ Country database. Closes ticket 28395.
+
+ o Minor features (OpenSSL bug workaround, backport from 0.3.5.7):
+ - Work around a bug in OpenSSL 1.1.1a, which prevented the TLS 1.3
+ key export function from handling long labels. When this bug is
+ detected, Tor will disable TLS 1.3. We recommend upgrading to a
+ version of OpenSSL without this bug when it becomes available.
+ Closes ticket 28973.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.5.5-alpha):
+ - Initialize a variable unconditionally in aes_new_cipher(), since
+ some compilers cannot tell that we always initialize it before
+ use. Fixes bug 28413; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (connection, relay, backport from 0.3.5.5-alpha):
+ - Avoid a logging a BUG() stacktrace when closing connection held
+ open because the write side is rate limited but not the read side.
+ Now, the connection read side is simply shut down until Tor is
+ able to flush the connection and close it. Fixes bug 27750; bugfix
+ on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, Windows, backport from 0.3.5.5-alpha):
+ - Manually configure the zstd compiler options, when building using
+ mingw on Appveyor Windows CI. The MSYS2 mingw zstd package does
+ not come with a pkg-config file. Fixes bug 28454; bugfix
+ on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
+ - Stop using an external OpenSSL install, and stop installing MSYS2
+ packages, when building using mingw on Appveyor Windows CI. Fixes
+ bug 28399; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, Windows, backport from 0.3.5.6-rc):
+ - Explicitly specify the path to the OpenSSL library and do not
+ download OpenSSL from Pacman, but instead use the library that is
+ already provided by AppVeyor. Fixes bug 28574; bugfix on master.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (directory permissions, backport form 0.3.5.3-alpha):
+ - When a user requests a group-readable DataDirectory, give it to
+ them. Previously, when the DataDirectory and the CacheDirectory
+ were the same, the default setting (0) for
+ CacheDirectoryGroupReadable would override the setting for
+ DataDirectoryGroupReadable. Fixes bug 26913; bugfix
+ on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (memory leaks, backport from 0.3.5.5-alpha):
+ - Fix a harmless memory leak in libtorrunner.a. Fixes bug 28419;
+ bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. Patch from Martin Kepplinger.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, backport from 0.3.5.3-alpha):
+ - Don't warn so loudly when Tor is unable to decode an onion
+ descriptor. This can now happen as a normal use case if a client
+ gets a descriptor with client authorization but the client is not
+ authorized. Fixes bug 27550; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, backport from 0.3.5.6-rc):
+ - When deleting an ephemeral onion service (DEL_ONION), do not close
+ any rendezvous circuits in order to let the existing client
+ connections finish by themselves or closed by the application. The
+ HS v2 is doing that already so now we have the same behavior for
+ all versions. Fixes bug 28619; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (relay statistics, backport from 0.3.5.7):
+ - Update relay descriptor on bandwidth changes only when the uptime
+ is smaller than 24h, in order to reduce the efficiency of guard
+ discovery attacks. Fixes bug 24104; bugfix on 0.1.1.6-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (unit tests, guard selection, backport from 0.3.5.6-rc):
+ - Stop leaking memory in an entry guard unit test. Fixes bug 28554;
+ bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
