- Changes in version 0.2.1.25 - 2010-??-??
+Changes in version 0.2.2.10-alpha - 2010-??-??
+ o Major features (performance):
+ - Alter the client path selection to use new consensus-generated
+ weightings to alter bandwidths when selecting Guard, Middle, Exit,
+ and Guard+Exit flagged nodes for entry, middle, and exit positions.
+ This should more evenly distribute the network load across these
+ different types of nodes, and give us the flexibility to globally
+ alter our node selection algorithms in the future. Extra thanks
+ to "outofwords" for finding some nasty security bugs in the
+ first implementation of this.
+
+ o Minor features (performance):
+ - Always perform router selections using weighted node bandwidth,
+ even if we don't need a high capacity circuit at the time. Non-fast
+ circuits now only differ from fast ones in that they can use nodes
+ not marked with the Fast flag.
+
+ o Minor features:
+ - Allow disabling building of the manpages. This speeds up the
+ build considerably.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes:
+ - Fix a memleak in the EXTENDCIRCUIT logic. Spotted by coverity.
+ Bugfix on 0.2.2.9-alpha.
+ - Fix a dereference-then-NULL-check sequence when publishing
+ descriptors. Bugfix on tor-0.2.1.5-alpha. Discovered by ekir,
+ fixes bug 1255.
+ - Disallow values larger than INT32_MAX for PerConnBWRate|Burst
+ config option. Bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha.
+ - Ship the asciidoc-helper file in the tarball, so that people can
+ build from source if they want to, and touching the .1.txt files
+ doesn't break the build. Bugfix on 0.2.2.9-alpha.
+
+ o Code simplifications and refactoring:
+ - Fix some urls in the exit notice file and make it XHTML1.1 strict
+ compliant. Based on a patch from Christian Kujau.
+ - Don't use sed in asciidoc-helper anymore.
+ - Make the build process fail if asciidoc cannot be found, and
+ building with asciidoc isn't disabled.
+
+Changes in version 0.2.2.9-alpha - 2010-02-22
+ o Directory authority changes:
+ - Change IP address for dannenberg (v3 directory authority), and
+ remove moria2 (obsolete v1, v2 directory authority and v0 hidden
+ service directory authority) from the list.
+
+ o Major bugfixes:
+ - Make Tor work again on the latest OS X: when deciding whether to
+ use strange flags to turn TLS renegotiation on, detect the OpenSSL
+ version at run-time, not compile time. We need to do this because
+ Apple doesn't update its dev-tools headers when it updates its
+ libraries in a security patch.
+ - Fix a potential buffer overflow in lookup_last_hid_serv_request()
+ that could happen on 32-bit platforms with 64-bit time_t. Also fix
+ a memory leak when requesting a hidden service descriptor we've
+ requested before. Fixes bug 1242, bugfix on 0.2.0.18-alpha. Found
+ by aakova.
+ - Authorities could be tricked into giving out the Exit flag to relays
+ that didn't allow exiting to any ports. This bug could screw
+ with load balancing and stats. Bugfix on 0.1.1.6-alpha; fixes bug
+ 1238. Bug discovered by Martin Kowalczyk.
+ - When freeing a cipher, zero it out completely. We only zeroed
+ the first ptrsize bytes. Bugfix on tor-0.0.2pre8. Discovered
+ and patched by ekir. Fixes bug 1254.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes:
+ - Fix static compilation by listing the openssl libraries in the right
+ order. Bugfix on Tor 0.2.2.8-alpha; fixes bug 1237.
+ - Resume handling .exit hostnames in a special way: originally we
+ stripped the .exit part and used the requested exit relay. In
+ 0.2.2.1-alpha we stopped treating them in any special way, meaning
+ if you use a .exit address then Tor will pass it on to the exit
+ relay. Now we reject the .exit stream outright, since that behavior
+ might be more expected by the user. Found and diagnosed by Scott
+ Bennett and Downie on or-talk.
+ - Don't spam the controller with events when we have no file
+ descriptors available. Bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha. (Rate-limiting
+ for log messages was already solved from bug 748.)
+ - Avoid a bogus overlapped memcpy in tor_addr_copy(). Reported by
+ "memcpyfail".
+ - Make the DNSPort option work with libevent 2.x. Don't alter the
+ behaviour for libevent 1.x. Fixes bug 1143. Found by SwissTorExit.
+ - Emit a GUARD DROPPED controller event for a case we missed.
+ - Make more fields in the controller protocol case-insensitive, since
+ control-spec.txt said they were.
+ - Refactor resolve_my_address() to not use gethostbyname() anymore.
+ Fixes bug 1244; bugfix on 0.0.2pre25. Reported by Mike Mestnik.
+ - Fix a spec conformance issue: the network-status-version token
+ must be the first token in a v3 consensus or vote. Discovered by
+ parakeep. Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
+
+ o Code simplifications and refactoring:
+ - Generate our manpage and HTML documentation using Asciidoc. This
+ change should make it easier to maintain the documentation, and
+ produce nicer HTML.
+ - Remove the --enable-iphone option. According to reports from Marco
+ Bonetti, Tor builds fine without any special tweaking on recent
+ iPhone SDK versions.
+ - Removed some unnecessary files from the source distribution. The
+ AUTHORS file has now been merged into the people page on the
+ website. The roadmaps and design doc can now be found in the
+ projects directory in svn.
+ - Enabled various circuit build timeout constants to be controlled
+ by consensus parameters. Also set better defaults for these
+ parameters based on experimentation on broadband and simulated
+ high latency links.
+
+ o Minor features:
+ - The 'EXTENDCIRCUIT' control port command can now be used with
+ a circ id of 0 and no path. This feature will cause Tor to build
+ a new 'fast' general purpose circuit using its own path selection
+ algorithms.
+ - Added a BUILDTIMEOUT_SET controller event to describe changes
+ to the circuit build timeout.
+ - Future-proof the controller protocol a bit by ignoring keyword
+ arguments we do not recognize.
+ - Expand homedirs passed to tor-checkkey. This should silence a
+ coverity complaint about passing a user-supplied string into
+ open() without checking it.
