- o Major feature (exit):
- - Re-entry into the network is now denied at the Exit level to all
- relays' ORPorts and authorities' ORPorts and DirPorts. This change

doc/HACKING/Tracing.md. Closes ticket 32910.
- o Major bugfixes (security):
- - When completing a channel, relays now check more thoroughly to
- make sure that it matches any pending circuits before attaching
- those circuits. Previously, address correctness and Ed25519
- identities were not checked in this case, but only when extending
- circuits on an existing channel. Fixes bug 40080; bugfix on
- 0.2.7.2-alpha. Resolves TROVE-2020-005.
-
o Major bugfixes (directory cache, performance, windows):
- Limit the number of items in the consensus diff cache to 64 on
Windows. We hope this will mitigate an issue where Windows relay
operators reported Tor using 100% CPU, while we investigate better
solutions. Fixes bug 24857; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
- o Major bugfixes (onion service v3):
- - Stop requiring a live consensus for v3 clients and services, and
- allow a "reasonably live" consensus instead. This allows v3 onion
- services to work even if the authorities fail to generate a
- consensus for more than 2 hours in a row. Fixes bug 40237; bugfix
- on 0.3.5.1-alpha.

- - Disable deprecation warnings when building with OpenSSL 3.0.0 or

- 3.0.0 that Tor still requires. (A later version of Tor will try to

- o Minor features (crypto):
- - Fix undefined behavior on our Keccak library. The bug only
- appeared on platforms with 32-byte CPU cache lines (e.g. armv5tel)

-
o Minor features (directory authorities):
- - Authorities now list a different set of protocols as required and
- recommended. These lists have been chosen so that only truly
- recommended and/or required protocols are included, and so that
- clients using 0.2.9 or later will continue to work (even though
- they are not supported), whereas only relays running 0.3.5 or
- later will meet the requirements. Closes ticket 40162.
- Add a new consensus method 30 that removes the unnecessary "="
padding from ntor-onion-key. Closes ticket 7869. Patch by
Daniel Pinto.
- Directory authorities now reject descriptors from relays running
Tor versions from the obsolete 0.4.1 series. Resolves ticket
34357. Patch by Neel Chauhan.
- - Make it possible to specify multiple ConsensusParams torrc lines.
- Now directory authority operators can for example put the main

- o Minor bugfixes (compatibility):

- This should resolve an issue where a relay operator migrates a
- relay from Windows to Unix, but does not change the line ending of
