If you want to see more detailed descriptions of the changes in each development snapshot, see the ChangeLog file. +Changes in version 0.1.2.13 - 2007-04-24 + +Tor 0.1.2.13 is released in memory of Rob Levin (1955-2006), aka lilo +of the Freenode IRC network, remembering his patience and vision for +free speech on the Internet. + + o Major features, client performance: + - Weight directory requests by advertised bandwidth. Now we can + let servers enable write limiting but still allow most clients to + succeed at their directory requests. (We still ignore weights when + choosing a directory authority; I hope this is a feature.) + - Stop overloading exit nodes -- avoid choosing them for entry or + middle hops when the total bandwidth available from non-exit nodes + is much higher than the total bandwidth available from exit nodes. + - Rather than waiting a fixed amount of time between retrying + application connections, we wait only 10 seconds for the first, + 10 seconds for the second, and 15 seconds for each retry after + that. Hopefully this will improve the expected user experience. + - Sometimes we didn't bother sending a RELAY_END cell when an attempt + to open a stream fails; now we do in more cases. This should + make clients able to find a good exit faster in some cases, since + unhandleable requests will now get an error rather than timing out. + + o Major features, client functionality: + - Implement BEGIN_DIR cells, so we can connect to a directory + server via TLS to do encrypted directory requests rather than + plaintext. Enable via the TunnelDirConns and PreferTunneledDirConns + config options if you like. For now, this feature only works if + you already have a descriptor for the destination dirserver. + - Add support for transparent application connections: this basically + bundles the functionality of trans-proxy-tor into the Tor + mainline. Now hosts with compliant pf/netfilter implementations + can redirect TCP connections straight to Tor without diverting + through SOCKS. (Based on patch from tup.) + - Add support for using natd; this allows FreeBSDs earlier than + 5.1.2 to have ipfw send connections through Tor without using + SOCKS. (Patch from Zajcev Evgeny with tweaks from tup.) + + o Major features, servers: + - Setting up a dyndns name for your server is now optional: servers + with no hostname or IP address will learn their IP address by + asking the directory authorities. This code only kicks in when you + would normally have exited with a "no address" error. Nothing's + authenticated, so use with care. + - Directory servers now spool server descriptors, v1 directories, + and v2 networkstatus objects to buffers as needed rather than en + masse. They also mmap the cached-routers files. These steps save + lots of memory. + - Stop requiring clients to have well-formed certificates, and stop + checking nicknames in certificates. (Clients have certificates so + that they can look like Tor servers, but in the future we might want + to allow them to look like regular TLS clients instead. Nicknames + in certificates serve no purpose other than making our protocol + easier to recognize on the wire.) Implements proposal 106. + + o Improvements on DNS support: + - Add "eventdns" asynchronous dns library originally based on code + from Adam Langley. Now we can discard the old rickety dnsworker + concept, and support a wider variety of DNS functions. Allows + multithreaded builds on NetBSD and OpenBSD again. + - Add server-side support for "reverse" DNS lookups (using PTR + records so clients can determine the canonical hostname for a given + IPv4 address). Only supported by servers using eventdns; servers + now announce in their descriptors if they don't support eventdns. + - Workaround for name servers (like Earthlink's) that hijack failing + DNS requests and replace the no-such-server answer with a "helpful" + redirect to an advertising-driven search portal. Also work around + DNS hijackers who "helpfully" decline to hijack known-invalid + RFC2606 addresses. Config option "ServerDNSDetectHijacking 0" + lets you turn it off. + - Servers now check for the case when common DNS requests are going to + wildcarded addresses (i.e. all getting the same answer), and change + their exit policy to reject *:* if it's happening. + - When asked to resolve a hostname, don't use non-exit servers unless + requested to do so. This allows servers with broken DNS to be + useful to the network. + - Start passing "ipv4" hints to getaddrinfo(), so servers don't do + useless IPv6 DNS resolves. + - Specify and implement client-side SOCKS5 interface for reverse DNS + lookups (see doc/socks-extensions.txt). Also cache them. + - When we change nameservers or IP addresses, reset and re-launch + our tests for DNS hijacking. + + o Improvements on reachability testing: + - Servers send out a burst of long-range padding cells once they've + established that they're reachable. Spread them over 4 circuits, + so hopefully a few will be fast. This exercises bandwidth and + bootstraps them into the directory more quickly. + - When we find our DirPort to be reachable, publish a new descriptor + so we'll tell the world (reported by pnx). + - Directory authorities now only decide that routers are reachable + if their identity keys are as expected. + - Do DirPort reachability tests less often, since a single test + chews through many circuits before giving up. + - Avoid some false positives during reachability testing: don't try + to test via a server that's on the same /24 network as us. + - Start publishing one minute or so after we find our ORPort + to be reachable. This will help reduce the number of descriptors + we have for ourselves floating around, since it's quite likely + other things (e.g. DirPort) will change during that minute too. + - Routers no longer try to rebuild long-term connections to directory + authorities, and directory authorities no longer try to rebuild + long-term connections to all servers. We still don't hang up + connections in these two cases though -- we need to look at it + more carefully to avoid flapping, and we likely need to wait til + 0.1.1.x is obsolete. + + o Improvements on rate limiting: + - Enable write limiting as well as read limiting. Now we sacrifice + capacity if we're pushing out lots of directory traffic, rather + than overrunning the user's intended bandwidth limits. + - Include TLS overhead when counting bandwidth usage; previously, we + would count only the bytes sent over TLS, but not the bytes used + to send them. + - Servers decline directory requests much more aggressively when + they're low on bandwidth. Otherwise they end up queueing more and + more directory responses, which can't be good for latency. + - But never refuse directory requests from local addresses. + - Be willing to read or write on local connections (e.g. controller + connections) even when the global rate limiting buckets are empty. + - Flush local controller connection buffers periodically as we're + writing to them, so we avoid queueing 4+ megabytes of data before + trying to flush. + - Revise and clean up the torrc.sample that we ship with; add + a section for BandwidthRate and BandwidthBurst. + + o Major features, NT services: + - Install as NT_AUTHORITY\LocalService rather than as SYSTEM; add a + command-line flag so that admins can override the default by saying + "tor --service install --user "SomeUser"". This will not affect + existing installed services. Also, warn the user that the service + will look for its configuration file in the service user's + %appdata% directory. (We can't do the "hardwire the user's appdata + directory" trick any more, since we may not have read access to that + directory.) + - Support running the Tor service with a torrc not in the same + directory as tor.exe and default to using the torrc located in + the %appdata%\Tor\ of the user who installed the service. Patch + from Matt Edman. + - Add an --ignore-missing-torrc command-line option so that we can + get the "use sensible defaults if the configuration file doesn't + exist" behavior even when specifying a torrc location on the + command line. + - When stopping an NT service, wait up to 10 sec for it to actually + stop. (Patch from Matt Edman; resolves bug 295.) + + o Directory authority improvements: + - Stop letting hibernating or obsolete servers affect uptime and + bandwidth cutoffs. + - Stop listing hibernating servers in the v1 directory. + - Authorities no longer recommend exits as guards if this would shift + too much load to the exit nodes. + - Authorities now specify server versions in networkstatus. This adds + about 2% to the size of compressed networkstatus docs, and allows + clients to tell which servers support BEGIN_DIR and which don't. + The implementation is forward-compatible with a proposed future + protocol version scheme not tied to Tor versions. + - DirServer configuration lines now have an orport= option so + clients can open encrypted tunnels to the authorities without + having downloaded their descriptors yet. Enabled for moria1, + moria2, tor26, and lefkada now in the default configuration. + - Add a BadDirectory flag to network status docs so that authorities + can (eventually) tell clients about caches they believe to be + broken. Not used yet. + - Allow authorities to list nodes as bad exits in their + approved-routers file by fingerprint or by address. If most + authorities set a BadExit flag for a server, clients don't think + of it as a general-purpose exit. Clients only consider authorities + that advertise themselves as listing bad exits. + - Patch from Steve Hildrey: Generate network status correctly on + non-versioning dirservers. + - Have directory authorities allow larger amounts of drift in uptime + without replacing the server descriptor: previously, a server that + restarted every 30 minutes could have 48 "interesting" descriptors + per day. + - Reserve the nickname "Unnamed" for routers that can't pick + a hostname: any router can call itself Unnamed; directory + authorities will never allocate Unnamed to any particular router; + clients won't believe that any router is the canonical Unnamed. + + o Directory mirrors and clients: + - Discard any v1 directory info that's over 1 month old (for + directories) or over 1 week old (for running-routers lists). + - Clients track responses with status 503 from dirservers. After a + dirserver has given us a 503, we try not to use it until an hour has + gone by, or until we have no dirservers that haven't given us a 503. + - When we get a 503 from a directory, and we're not a server, we no + longer count the failure against the total number of failures + allowed for the object we're trying to download. + - Prepare for servers to publish descriptors less often: never + discard a descriptor simply for being too old until either it is + recommended by no authorities, or until we get a better one for + the same router. Make caches consider retaining old recommended + routers for even longer. + - Directory servers now provide 'Pragma: no-cache' and 'Expires' + headers for content, so that we can work better in the presence of + caching HTTP proxies. + - Stop fetching descriptors if you're not a dir mirror and you + haven't tried to establish any circuits lately. (This currently + causes some dangerous behavior, because when you start up again + you'll use your ancient server descriptors.) + + o Major fixes, crashes: + - Stop crashing when the controller asks us to resetconf more than + one config option at once. (Vidalia 0.0.11 does this.) + - Fix a longstanding obscure crash bug that could occur when we run + out of DNS worker processes, if we're not using eventdns. (Resolves + bug 390.) + - Fix an assert that could trigger if a controller quickly set then + cleared EntryNodes. (Bug found by Udo van den Heuvel.) + - Avoid crash when telling controller about stream-status and a + stream is detached. + - Avoid sending junk to controllers or segfaulting when a controller + uses EVENT_NEW_DESC with verbose nicknames. + - Stop triggering asserts if the controller tries to extend hidden + service circuits (reported by mwenge). + - If we start a server with ClientOnly 1, then set ClientOnly to 0 + and hup, stop triggering an assert based on an empty onion_key. + - Mask out all signals in sub-threads; only the libevent signal + handler should be processing them. This should prevent some crashes + on some machines using pthreads. (Patch from coderman.) + - Disable kqueue on OS X 10.3 and earlier, to fix bug 371. + + o Major fixes, anonymity/security: + - Automatically avoid picking more than one node from the same + /16 network when constructing a circuit. Add an + "EnforceDistinctSubnets" option to let people disable it if they + want to operate private test networks on a single subnet. + - When generating bandwidth history, round down to the nearest + 1k. When storing accounting data, round up to the nearest 1k. + - When we're running as a server, remember when we last rotated onion + keys, so that we will rotate keys once they're a week old even if + we never stay up for a week ourselves. + - If a client asked for a server by name, and there's a named server + in our network-status but we don't have its descriptor yet, we + could return an unnamed server instead. + - Reject (most) attempts to use Tor circuits with length one. (If + many people start using Tor as a one-hop proxy, exit nodes become + a more attractive target for compromise.) + - Just because your DirPort is open doesn't mean people should be + able to remotely teach you about hidden service descriptors. Now + only accept rendezvous posts if you've got HSAuthoritativeDir set. + - Fix a potential race condition in the rpm installer. Found by + Stefan Nordhausen. + - Do not log IPs with TLS failures for incoming TLS + connections. (Fixes bug 382.) + + o Major fixes, other: + - If our system clock jumps back in time, don't publish a negative + uptime in the descriptor. + - When we start during an accounting interval before it's time to wake + up, remember to wake up at the correct time. (May fix bug 342.) + - Previously, we would cache up to 16 old networkstatus documents + indefinitely, if they came from nontrusted authorities. Now we + discard them if they are more than 10 days old. + - When we have a state file we cannot parse, tell the user and + move it aside. Now we avoid situations where the user starts + Tor in 1904, Tor writes a state file with that timestamp in it, + the user fixes her clock, and Tor refuses to start. + - Publish a new descriptor after we hup/reload. This is important + if our config has changed such that we'll want to start advertising + our DirPort now, etc. + - If we are using an exit enclave and we can't connect, e.g. because + its webserver is misconfigured to not listen on localhost, then + back off and try connecting from somewhere else before we fail. + + o New config options or behaviors: + - When EntryNodes are configured, rebuild the guard list to contain, + in order: the EntryNodes that were guards before; the rest of the + EntryNodes; the nodes that were guards before. + - Do not warn when individual nodes in the configuration's EntryNodes, + ExitNodes, etc are down: warn only when all possible nodes + are down. (Fixes bug 348.) + - Put a lower-bound on MaxAdvertisedBandwidth. + - Start using the state file to store bandwidth accounting data: + the bw_accounting file is now obsolete. We'll keep generating it + for a while for people who are still using 0.1.2.4-alpha. + - Try to batch changes to the state file so that we do as few + disk writes as possible while still storing important things in + a timely fashion. + - The state file and the bw_accounting file get saved less often when + the AvoidDiskWrites config option is set. + - Make PIDFile work on Windows. + - Add internal descriptions for a bunch of configuration options: + accessible via controller interface and in comments in saved + options files. + - Reject *:563 (NNTPS) in the default exit policy. We already reject + NNTP by default, so this seems like a sensible addition. + - Clients now reject hostnames with invalid characters. This should + avoid some inadvertent info leaks. Add an option + AllowNonRFC953Hostnames to disable this behavior, in case somebody + is running a private network with hosts called @, !, and #. + - Check for addresses with invalid characters at the exit as well, + and warn less verbosely when they fail. You can override this by + setting ServerDNSAllowNonRFC953Addresses to 1. + - Remove some options that have been deprecated since at least + 0.1.0.x: AccountingMaxKB, LogFile, DebugLogFile, LogLevel, and + SysLog. Use AccountingMax instead of AccountingMaxKB, and use Log + to set log options. Mark PathlenCoinWeight as obsolete. + - Stop accepting certain malformed ports in configured exit policies. + - When the user uses bad syntax in the Log config line, stop + suggesting other bad syntax as a replacement. + - Add new config option "ResolvConf" to let the server operator + choose an alternate resolve.conf file when using eventdns. + - If one of our entry guards is on the ExcludeNodes list, or the + directory authorities don't think it's a good guard, treat it as + if it were unlisted: stop using it as a guard, and throw it off + the guards list if it stays that way for a long time. + - Allow directory authorities to be marked separately as authorities + for the v1 directory protocol, the v2 directory protocol, and + as hidden service directories, to make it easier to retire old + authorities. V1 authorities should set "HSAuthoritativeDir 1" + to continue being hidden service authorities too. + - Remove 8888 as a LongLivedPort, and add 6697 (IRCS). + - Make TrackExitHosts case-insensitive, and fix the behavior of + ".suffix" TrackExitHosts items to avoid matching in the middle of + an address. + - New DirPort behavior: if you have your dirport set, you download + descriptors aggressively like a directory mirror, whether or not + your ORPort is set. + + o Docs: + - Create a new file ReleaseNotes which was the old ChangeLog. The + new ChangeLog file now includes the notes for all development + versions too. + - Add a new address-spec.txt document to describe our special-case + addresses: .exit, .onion, and .noconnnect. + - Fork the v1 directory protocol into its own spec document, + and mark dir-spec.txt as the currently correct (v2) spec. + + o Packaging, porting, and contrib + - "tor --verify-config" now exits with -1(255) or 0 depending on + whether the config options are bad or good. + - The Debian package now uses --verify-config when (re)starting, + to distinguish configuration errors from other errors. + - Adapt a patch from goodell to let the contrib/exitlist script + take arguments rather than require direct editing. + - Prevent the contrib/exitlist script from printing the same + result more than once. + - Add support to tor-resolve tool for reverse lookups and SOCKS5. + - In the hidden service example in torrc.sample, stop recommending + esoteric and discouraged hidden service options. + - Patch from Michael Mohr to contrib/cross.sh, so it checks more + values before failing, and always enables eventdns. + - Try to detect Windows correctly when cross-compiling. + - Libevent-1.2 exports, but does not define in its headers, strlcpy. + Try to fix this in configure.in by checking for most functions + before we check for libevent. + - Update RPMs to require libevent 1.2. + - Experimentally re-enable kqueue on OSX when using libevent 1.1b + or later. Log when we are doing this, so we can diagnose it when + it fails. (Also, recommend libevent 1.1b for kqueue and + win32 methods; deprecate libevent 1.0b harder; make libevent + recommendation system saner.) + - Build with recent (1.3+) libevents on platforms that do not + define the nonstandard types "u_int8_t" and friends. + - Remove architecture from OS X builds. The official builds are + now universal binaries. + - Run correctly on OS X platforms with case-sensitive filesystems. + - Correctly set maximum connection limit on Cygwin. (This time + for sure!) + - Start compiling on MinGW on Windows (patches from Mike Chiussi + and many others). + - Start compiling on MSVC6 on Windows (patches from Frediano Ziglio). + - Finally fix the openssl warnings from newer gccs that believe that + ignoring a return value is okay, but casting a return value and + then ignoring it is a sign of madness. + - On architectures where sizeof(int)>4, still clamp declarable + bandwidth to INT32_MAX. + + o Minor features, controller: + - Warn the user when an application uses the obsolete binary v0 + control protocol. We're planning to remove support for it during + the next development series, so it's good to give people some + advance warning. + - Add STREAM_BW events to report per-entry-stream bandwidth + use. (Patch from Robert Hogan.) + - Rate-limit SIGNEWNYM signals in response to controllers that + impolitely generate them for every single stream. (Patch from + mwenge; closes bug 394.) + - Add a REMAP status to stream events to note that a stream's + address has changed because of a cached address or a MapAddress + directive. + - Make REMAP stream events have a SOURCE (cache or exit), and + make them generated in every case where we get a successful + connected or resolved cell. + - Track reasons for OR connection failure; make these reasons + available via the controller interface. (Patch from Mike Perry.) + - Add a SOCKS_BAD_HOSTNAME client status event so controllers + can learn when clients are sending malformed hostnames to Tor. + - Specify and implement some of the controller status events. + - Have GETINFO dir/status/* work on hosts with DirPort disabled. + - Reimplement GETINFO so that info/names stays in sync with the + actual keys. + - Implement "GETINFO fingerprint". + - Implement "SETEVENTS GUARD" so controllers can get updates on + entry guard status as it changes. + - Make all connections to addresses of the form ".noconnect" + immediately get closed. This lets application/controller combos + successfully test whether they're talking to the same Tor by + watching for STREAM events. + - Add a REASON field to CIRC events; for backward compatibility, this + field is sent only to controllers that have enabled the extended + event format. Also, add additional reason codes to explain why + a given circuit has been destroyed or truncated. (Patches from + Mike Perry) + - Add a REMOTE_REASON field to extended CIRC events to tell the + controller why a remote OR told us to close a circuit. + - Stream events also now have REASON and REMOTE_REASON fields, + working much like those for circuit events. + - There's now a GETINFO ns/... field so that controllers can ask Tor + about the current status of a router. + - A new event type "NS" to inform a controller when our opinion of + a router's status has changed. + - Add a GETINFO events/names and GETINFO features/names so controllers + can tell which events and features are supported. + - A new CLEARDNSCACHE signal to allow controllers to clear the + client-side DNS cache without expiring circuits. + - Fix CIRC controller events so that controllers can learn the + identity digests of non-Named servers used in circuit paths. + - Let controllers ask for more useful identifiers for servers. Instead + of learning identity digests for un-Named servers and nicknames + for Named servers, the new identifiers include digest, nickname, + and indication of Named status. Off by default; see control-spec.txt + for more information. + - Add a "getinfo address" controller command so it can display Tor's + best guess to the user. + - New controller event to alert the controller when our server + descriptor has changed. + - Give more meaningful errors on controller authentication failure. + - Export the default exit policy via the control port, so controllers + don't need to guess what it is / will be later. + + o Minor bugfixes, controller: + - When creating a circuit via the controller, send a 'launched' + event when we're done, so we follow the spec better. + - Correct the control spec to match how the code actually responds + to 'getinfo addr-mappings/*'. Reported by daejees. + - The control spec described a GUARDS event, but the code + implemented a GUARD event. Standardize on GUARD, but let people + ask for GUARDS too. Reported by daejees. + - Give the controller END_STREAM_REASON_DESTROY events _before_ we + clear the corresponding on_circuit variable, and remember later + that we don't need to send a redundant CLOSED event. (Resolves part + 3 of bug 367.) + - Report events where a resolve succeeded or where we got a socks + protocol error correctly, rather than calling both of them + "INTERNAL". + - Change reported stream target addresses to IP consistently when + we finally get the IP from an exit node. + - Send log messages to the controller even if they happen to be very + long. + - Flush ERR-level controller status events just like we currently + flush ERR-level log events, so that a Tor shutdown doesn't prevent + the controller from learning about current events. + - Report the circuit number correctly in STREAM CLOSED events. Bug + reported by Mike Perry. + - Do not report bizarre values for results of accounting GETINFOs + when the last second's write or read exceeds the allotted bandwidth. + - Report "unrecognized key" rather than an empty string when the + controller tries to fetch a networkstatus that doesn't exist. + - When the controller does a "GETINFO network-status", tell it + about even those routers whose descriptors are very old, and use + long nicknames where appropriate. + - Fix handling of verbose nicknames with ORCONN controller events: + make them show up exactly when requested, rather than exactly when + not requested. + - Controller signals now work on non-Unix platforms that don't define + SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 the way we expect. + - Respond to SIGNAL command before we execute the signal, in case + the signal shuts us down. Suggested by Karsten Loesing. + - Handle reporting OR_CONN_EVENT_NEW events to the controller. + + o Minor features, code performance: + - Major performance improvement on inserting descriptors: change + algorithm from O(n^2) to O(n). + - Do not rotate onion key immediately after setting it for the first + time. + - Call router_have_min_dir_info half as often. (This is showing up in + some profiles, but not others.) + - When using GCC, make log_debug never get called at all, and its + arguments never get evaluated, when no debug logs are configured. + (This is showing up in some profiles, but not others.) + - Statistics dumped by -USR2 now include a breakdown of public key + operations, for profiling. + - Make the common memory allocation path faster on machines where + malloc(0) returns a pointer. + - Split circuit_t into origin_circuit_t and or_circuit_t, and + split connection_t into edge, or, dir, control, and base structs. + These will save quite a bit of memory on busy servers, and they'll + also help us track down bugs in the code and bugs in the spec. + - Use OpenSSL's AES implementation on platforms where it's faster. + This could save us as much as 10% CPU usage. + + o Minor features, descriptors and descriptor handling: + - Avoid duplicate entries on MyFamily line in server descriptor. + - When Tor receives a router descriptor that it asked for, but + no longer wants (because it has received fresh networkstatuses + in the meantime), do not warn the user. Cache the descriptor if + we're a cache; drop it if we aren't. + - Servers no longer ever list themselves in their "family" line, + even if configured to do so. This makes it easier to configure + family lists conveniently. + + o Minor fixes, confusing/misleading log messages: + - Display correct results when reporting which versions are + recommended, and how recommended they are. (Resolves bug 383.) + - Inform the server operator when we decide not to advertise a + DirPort due to AccountingMax enabled or a low BandwidthRate. + - Only include function names in log messages for info/debug messages. + For notice/warn/err, the content of the message should be clear on + its own, and printing the function name only confuses users. + - Remove even more protocol-related warnings from Tor server logs, + such as bad TLS handshakes and malformed begin cells. + - Fix bug 314: Tor clients issued "unsafe socks" warnings even + when the IP address is mapped through MapAddress to a hostname. + - Fix misleading log messages: an entry guard that is "unlisted", + as well as not known to be "down" (because we've never heard + of it), is not therefore "up". + + o Minor fixes, old/obsolete behavior: + - Start assuming we can use a create_fast cell if we don't know + what version a router is running. + - We no longer look for identity and onion keys in "identity.key" and + "onion.key" -- these were replaced by secret_id_key and + secret_onion_key in 0.0.8pre1. + - We no longer require unrecognized directory entries to be + preceded by "opt". + - Drop compatibility with obsolete Tors that permit create cells + to have the wrong circ_id_type. + - Remove code to special-case "-cvs" ending, since it has not + actually mattered since 0.0.9. + - Don't re-write the fingerprint file every restart, unless it has + changed. + + o Minor fixes, misc client-side behavior: + - Always remove expired routers and networkstatus docs before checking + whether we have enough information to build circuits. (Fixes + bug 373.) + - When computing clock skew from directory HTTP headers, consider what + time it was when we finished asking for the directory, not what + time it is now. + - Make our socks5 handling more robust to broken socks clients: + throw out everything waiting on the buffer in between socks + handshake phases, since they can't possibly (so the theory + goes) have predicted what we plan to respond to them. + - Expire socks connections if they spend too long waiting for the + handshake to finish. Previously we would let them sit around for + days, if the connecting application didn't close them either. + - And if the socks handshake hasn't started, don't send a + "DNS resolve socks failed" handshake reply; just close it. + - If the user asks to use invalid exit nodes, be willing to use + unstable ones. + - Track unreachable entry guards correctly: don't conflate + 'unreachable by us right now' with 'listed as down by the directory + authorities'. With the old code, if a guard was unreachable by us + but listed as running, it would clog our guard list forever. + - Behave correctly in case we ever have a network with more than + 2GB/s total advertised capacity. + - Claim a commonname of Tor, rather than TOR, in TLS handshakes. + - Fix a memory leak when we ask for "all" networkstatuses and we + get one we don't recognize. + + Changes in version 0.1.1.26 - 2006-12-14 o Security bugfixes: - Stop sending the HttpProxyAuthenticator string to directory |
