+ o Major features (server security, DoS-resistance):
- Also consider stream buffer sizes when calculating OOM
conditions. Rename MaxMemInCellQueues to MaxMemInQueues. Fixes
bug 10169.
from a randomized cryptographic key using SipHash-2-4, and an
attacker cannot predict which entries will collide.
Closes ticket 4900.
+ - Decrease the lower limit of MaxMemInQueues to 256 MBytes, to
+ appease raspberry pi users. Fixes bug 9686.
- o Minor features:
+ o Minor features (bridges, pluggable transports):
- Bridges write the SHA1 digest of their identity key fingerprint to
notice-level logs and to hashed-fingerprint, so that bridge
operators can look up their bridge in Globe and similar tools.
using pluggable transports but doesn't have an Extended ORPort
listener. Furthermore, we now log the message in the log file
too. Resolves ticket 11043.
- - Warn the user if they put any ports in the SocksPolicy,
- DirPolicy, AuthDirReject, AuthDirInvalid, AuthDirBadDir, or
- AuthDirBadExit options. Fixes ticket #11108.
- Don't log at warning severity when we refuse to launch a
pluggable transport proxy that we don't need. Resolves ticket
5018; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha.

+ o Minor features (other):
+ - Warn the user if they put any ports in the SocksPolicy,
+ DirPolicy, AuthDirReject, AuthDirInvalid, AuthDirBadDir, or
+ AuthDirBadExit options. Fixes ticket #11108.
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the February 7 2014 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country
database.
- - Decrease the lower limit of MaxMemInQueues to 256 MBytes, to
- appease raspberry pi users. Fixes bug 9686.
- Made PREDICTED_CIRCS_RELEVANCE_TIME configurable from config
file with a new option, PredictedPortsRelevanceTime. Implements
ticket #9176. Patch by unixninja92.
- - Update to the latest version of tinytest.
o Minor bugfixes (new since 0.2.5.2-alpha, also in 0.2.4.21):
- Build without warnings under clang 3.4. (We have some macros that
manpages from scratch on OpenBSD; OpenBSD calls it "a2x.py".
Fixes bug 10929; bugfix on 0.2.2.9-alpha. Patch from Dana Koch.
- o Minor bugfixes:
+ o Minor bugfixes (unit tests)
+ - Fix a small bug in the unit tests that might have made the tests
+ call 'chmod' with an uninitialized bitmask.
+ Fixes bug 10928; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha. Patch from Dana Koch.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (client):
+ - Fix IPv6 support when using the SocksPort with SOCKS5. Using IPv6
+ through a SOCKS5 using the SocksPort option will now work with
+ this fix. This part of the code has never been updated to support
+ IPv6 thus this does not fix a previously introduced regression.
+ Fixes bug 10987; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
+ - Fix tor so that it raises a control port warning when we fail to
+ connect to all of our bridges. Fixes bug 11069; bugfix on
+ tor-0.2.1.2-alpha.
+ - Fix a bug where we would attempt to connect to bridges before
+ our pluggable transports were configured, which resulted in some
+ erroneous log messages. Fixes bug 11156; bugfix on
+ 0.2.3.2-alpha.
- Exit immediately when exiting because of dropped connection from
a process-owning controller. Previously, if we were running in
server mode, we would wait for a little while as in the when we
nodes prevents a hidden service from working.
Improves on our fix for bug #10722, which was a bugfix on
0.2.0.10-alpha.
- - Fix a small bug in the unit tests that might have made the tests
- call 'chmod' with an uninitialized bitmask.
- Fixes bug 10928; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha. Patch from Dana Koch.

- IPv6 thus this does not fix a previously introduced regression.
- Fixes bug 10987; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (servers):
+ - Non-exit servers no longer launch mock DNS requests to check for
+ DNS hijacking. This has been unnecessary since 0.2.1.7-alpha,
+ when non-exit servers stopped servicing DNS requests. Fixes bug
+ 965; bugfix on 0.2.1.7-alpha. Patch from Matt Pagan.
+ - Avoid crashing on a malformed resolv.conf file when running a
+ server using Libevent 1. Fixes bug 8788; bugfix on 0.1.1.23.
+ - Give the correct URL in the warning message that we present
+ when the user is trying to run a Tor relay on an ancient version
+ of Windows. Fixes bug 9393.
+ - Bridges now never collect statistics that were designed for relays.
+ Fix for bug 5824; bugfix on 0.2.3.8-alpha.
+ - Bridges now report complete directory request statistics. Related to
+ bug 5824; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (backtrace support):
- Build using the -fasynchronous-unwind-tables option so that more
platforms (in particular, ones like 32-bit Intel where the
-fomit-frame-pointer option is on by default and table
have stored their intermediate results in the same buffer, and
generated junk outputs.) Reported by "cypherpunks". Fixes bug
11048; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha.
- - Fix tor so that it raises a control port warning when we fail to
- connect to all of our bridges. Fixes bug 11069; bugfix on
- tor-0.2.1.2-alpha.
- - Fix a bug where we would attempt to connect to bridges before
- our pluggable transports were configured, which resulted in some

- - Avoid crashing on a malformed resolv.conf file when running a
- server using Libevent 1. Fixes bug 8788; bugfix on 0.1.1.23.
- - Improve the tinytest implementation of string operation tests
- so that comparisons NULL strings no longer crash the tests;
- they now just fail, normally. Fixes bug 9004; bugfix on
- 0.2.2.4-alpha.
- - Fix a comment about the rend_server_descriptor_t.protocols field
- to more accurately describe its range. Also, make that
- field unsigned, to more accurately reflect its usage.
- Fixes bug 9099; bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
- - Give the correct URL in the warning message that we present
- when the user is trying to run a Tor relay on an ancient version

- Fix a 64-to-32-conversion warning in format_number_sigsafe().
Bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha; patch from Nick Hopper.
- o Removed code
+ o Removed code:
- Remove all code for hidden service authorities to accept and serve
version 0 descriptors and left-over code for hidden services and
hidden service clients to upload and fetch version 0 descriptors.
- Document in the manpage that "KBytes" may also be written as
"kilobytes" or "KB", that "Kbits" may also be written as
"kilobits", and so forth. Closes ticket #9222.
+ - Fix a comment about the rend_server_descriptor_t.protocols field
+ to more accurately describe its range. Also, make that
+ field unsigned, to more accurately reflect its usage.
+ Fixes bug 9099; bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
o Code simplifications and refactoring:
- Get rid of router->address, since in all cases it was just the
string representation of router->addr. Resolves ticket 5528.
+ o Test infrastructure:
+ - Update to the latest version of tinytest.
+ - Improve the tinytest implementation of string operation tests
+ so that comparisons NULL strings no longer crash the tests;
