+Changes in version 0.4.2.3-alpha - 2019-10-24
+ This release fixes several bugs from the previous alpha release, and
+ from earlier versions of Tor.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (relay):
+ - Relays now respect their AccountingMax bandwidth again. When
+ relays entered "soft" hibernation (which typically starts when
+ we've hit 90% of our AccountingMax), we had stopped checking
+ whether we should enter hard hibernation. Soft hibernation refuses
+ new connections and new circuits, but the existing circuits can
+ continue, meaning that relays could have exceeded their configured
+ AccountingMax. Fixes bug 32108; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (v3 onion services):
+ - Onion services now always use the exact number of intro points
+ configured with the HiddenServiceNumIntroductionPoints option (or
+ fewer if nodes are excluded). Before, a service could sometimes
+ pick more intro points than configured. Fixes bug 31548; bugfix
+ on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor feature (onion services, control port):
+ - The ADD_ONION command's keyword "BEST" now defaults to ED25519-V3
+ (v3) onion services. Previously it defaulted to RSA1024 (v2).
+ Closes ticket 29669.
+
+ o Minor features (testing):
+ - When running tests that attempt to look up hostnames, replace the
+ libc name lookup functions with ones that do not actually touch
+ the network. This way, the tests complete more quickly in the
+ presence of a slow or missing DNS resolver. Closes ticket 31841.
+
+ o Minor features (testing, continuous integration):
+ - Disable all but one Travis CI macOS build, to mitigate slow
+ scheduling of Travis macOS jobs. Closes ticket 32177.
+ - Run the chutney IPv6 networks as part of Travis CI. Closes
+ ticket 30860.
+ - Simplify the Travis CI build matrix, and optimise for build time.
+ Closes ticket 31859.
+ - Use Windows Server 2019 instead of Windows Server 2016 in our
+ Appveyor builds. Closes ticket 32086.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (build system):
+ - Interpret "--disable-module-dirauth=no" correctly. Fixes bug
+ 32124; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
+ - Interpret "--with-tcmalloc=no" correctly. Fixes bug 32124; bugfix
+ on 0.2.0.20-rc.
+ - Stop failing when jemalloc is requested, but tcmalloc is not
+ found. Fixes bug 32124; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
+ - When pkg-config is not installed, or a library that depends on
+ pkg-config is not found, tell the user what to do to fix the
+ problem. Fixes bug 31922; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (connections):
+ - Avoid trying to read data from closed connections, which can cause
+ needless loops in Libevent and infinite loops in Shadow. Fixes bug
+ 30344; bugfix on 0.1.1.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (error handling):
+ - Always lock the backtrace buffer before it is used. Fixes bug
+ 31734; bugfix on 0.2.5.3-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (mainloop, periodic events, in-process API):
+ - Reset the periodic events' "enabled" flag when Tor is shut down
+ cleanly. Previously, this flag was left on, which caused periodic
+ events not to be re-enabled when Tor was relaunched in-process
+ with tor_api.h after a shutdown. Fixes bug 32058; bugfix
+ on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (process management):
+ - Remove overly strict assertions that triggered when a pluggable
+ transport failed to launch. Fixes bug 31091; bugfix
+ on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
+ - Remove an assertion in the Unix process backend. This assertion
+ would trigger when we failed to find the executable for a child
+ process. Fixes bug 31810; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (testing):
+ - Avoid intermittent test failures due to a test that had relied on
+ inconsistent timing sources. Fixes bug 31995; bugfix
+ on 0.3.1.3-alpha.
+ - When testing port rebinding, don't busy-wait for tor to log.
+ Instead, actually sleep for a short time before polling again.
+ Also improve the formatting of control commands and log messages.
+ Fixes bug 31837; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (tls, logging):
+ - Log bugs about the TLS read buffer's length only once, rather than
+ filling the logs with similar warnings. Fixes bug 31939; bugfix
+ on 0.3.0.4-rc.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (v3 onion services):
+ - Fix an implicit conversion from ssize_t to size_t discovered by
+ Coverity. Fixes bug 31682; bugfix on 0.4.2.1-alpha.
+ - Fix a memory leak in an unlikely error code path when encoding HS
+ DoS establish intro extension cell. Fixes bug 32063; bugfix
+ on 0.4.2.1-alpha.
+ - When cleaning up intro circuits for a v3 onion service, don't
+ remove circuits that have an established or pending circuit, even
+ if they ran out of retries. This way, we don't remove a circuit on
+ its last retry. Fixes bug 31652; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
+
+ o Documentation:
+ - Correct the description of "GuardLifetime". Fixes bug 31189;
+ bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+ - Make clear in the man page, in both the bandwidth section and the
+ AccountingMax section, that Tor counts in powers of two, not
+ powers of ten: 1 GByte is 1024*1024*1024 bytes, not one billion
+ bytes. Resolves ticket 32106.
