Tor 0.2.1.14-rc is out

[downie -]

Thanks Roger,
has the OSX version detection not been added to this branch?
I had a crash after taking the 'NoKqueue' out.

> Changes in version 0.2.1.14-rc - 2009-04-12
>   o Major features:
>     - Clients replace entry guards that were chosen more than a few months
>       ago. This change should significantly improve client performance,
>       especially once more people upgrade, since relays that have been
>       a guard for a long time are currently overloaded.
> 
>   o Major bugfixes (on 0.2.0):
>     - Finally fix the bug where dynamic-IP relays disappear when their
>       IP address changes: directory mirrors were mistakenly telling
>       them their old address if they asked via begin_dir, so they
>       never got an accurate answer about their new address, so they
>       just vanished after a day. For belt-and-suspenders, relays that
>       don't set Address in their config now avoid using begin_dir for
>       all direct connections. Should fix bugs 827, 883, and 900.
>     - Relays were falling out of the networkstatus consensus for
>       part of a day if they changed their local config but the
>       authorities discarded their new descriptor as "not sufficiently
>       different". Now directory authorities accept a descriptor as changed
>       if bandwidthrate or bandwidthburst changed. Partial fix for bug 962;
>       patch by Sebastian.
>     - Avoid crashing in the presence of certain malformed descriptors.
>       Found by lark, and by automated fuzzing.
> 
>   o Minor features:
>     - When generating circuit events with verbose nicknames for
>       controllers, try harder to look up nicknames for routers on a
>       circuit. (Previously, we would look in the router descriptors we had
>       for nicknames, but not in the consensus.) Partial fix for bug 941.
>     - If the bridge config line doesn't specify a port, assume 443.
>       This makes bridge lines a bit smaller and easier for users to
>       understand.
>     - Raise the minimum bandwidth to be a relay from 20000 bytes to 20480
>       bytes (aka 20KB/s), to match our documentation. Also update
>       directory authorities so they always assign the Fast flag to relays
>       with 20KB/s of capacity. Now people running relays won't suddenly
>       find themselves not seeing any use, if the network gets faster
>       on average.
>     - Update to the "April 3 2009" ip-to-country file.
> 
>   o Minor bugfixes:
>     - Avoid trying to print raw memory to the logs when we decide to
>       give up on downloading a given relay descriptor. Bugfix on
>       0.2.1.9-alpha.
>     - In tor-resolve, when the Tor client to use is specified by
>       <hostname>:<port>, actually use the specified port rather than
>       defaulting to 9050. Bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha.
>     - Make directory usage recording work again. Bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha.
>     - When starting with a cache over a few days old, do not leak
>       memory for the obsolete router descriptors in it. Bugfix on
>       0.2.0.33.
>     - Avoid double-free on list of successfully uploaded hidden
>       service discriptors. Fix for bug 948. Bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha.
>     - Change memarea_strndup() implementation to work even when
>       duplicating a string at the end of a page. This bug was
>       harmless for now, but could have meant crashes later. Fix by
>       lark. Bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha.
>     - Limit uploaded directory documents to be 16M rather than 500K.
>       The directory authorities were refusing v3 consensus votes from
>       other authorities, since the votes are now 504K. Fixes bug 959;
>       bugfix on 0.0.2pre17 (where we raised it from 50K to 500K ;).
>     - Directory authorities should never send a 503 "busy" response to
>       requests for votes or keys. Bugfix on 0.2.0.8-alpha; exposed by
>       bug 959.
