Changes in version 0.4.3.1-alpha - 2020-01-2?
This is the first alpha release in the 0.4.3.x series. BLURB MORE
+ o New system requirements:
+ - When building Tor, you now need to have Python 3 in order to run
+ the integration tests. (Python 2 is officially unsupported
+ upstream, as of 1 Jan 2020.) Closes ticket 32608.
+
o Major feature (onion service, SOCKS5):
- Introduce a new SocksPort flag named: ExtendedErrors. Detailed in
- proposal 304, a number of onion service error codes are now sent back,
- if this flag is set, with the SOCKS5 protocol using new custom error
- values. Closes ticket 30382;

o Major features (build system):
- Create an optional relay module, which can be disabled using the
- --disable-module-relay configure option. When it is set, also disable
- the dirauth module. Add a minimal implemention, which disables the
- relay and dircache modes in tor. Closes ticket 32123.

- - New ONION_CLIENT_AUTH_ADD control port command to add client-side onion
- service client authorization credentials. Closes part of ticket 30381.

o Major features (directory authority, ed25519):
- Add support for banning a relay's ed25519 keys in the approved-routers
- file. This will allow us to migrate away from RSA keys in the future.
- Previously, only RSA keys could be banned in approved-routers. Resolves
- ticket 22029. Patch by Neel Chauhan.

+ Padding machines. Closes ticket 28804.
o Major features (proxy):
- - In addition to HTTP CONNECT, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5, Tor can make all OR
- connections through the HAProxy server. A new torrc option was added to
- specify the address/port of the server: TCPProxy <protocol>
- <host>:<port>. Currently the only supported protocol in the option is
- haproxy. Close ticket 31518. Patch done by Suphanat Chunhapanya (haxxpop).

- We no longer support consensus methods before method 28; these
methods were only used by authorities running versions of Tor that
are now at end-of-life. In effect, this means that clients and
relays, and authorities now assume that authorities will be
running version 0.3.5.x or later. Closes ticket 32695.
