directory connections, and kill the ones that have had data
sitting on them for the longest. Part of ticket 11792.
+ o Minor features:
+ - When identity keypair is generated for first time, log a
+ congratulatory message that points to the new relay lifecycle
+ document. Implements feature 10427.
+
o Minor features (client):
- Clients are now willing to send optimistic circuit data (before
they receive a 'connected' cell) to relays of any version. We used
with 32-bit time_t. Fixes bug 13476; bugfix on 0.0.2pre14.
o Minor bugfixes (client):
+ - Fix node selection logic in smartlist_choose_node_by_bandwidth()
+ so that onion routers with BadExit flag are not considered to be
+ worthy candidates. Fixes bug 13066; bugfix on 0.1.2.3-alpha.
- Use the consensus schedule for downloading consensuses, and not
the generic schedule. Fixes bug 11679; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
- Handle unsupported SOCKS5 requests properly by responding with
- Bitwise check the BRIDGE_DIRINFO flag rather than using equality.
Fixes a (potential) bug where directories offering BRIDGE_DIRINFO
and some other flag (i.e. microdescriptors or extrainfo) would be
- ignored when looking for bridge directories. Partially fixes
- bug 13163; bugfix on 0.2.0.7-alpha.
+ ignored when looking for bridge directories. Partially fixes bug
+ 13163; bugfix on 0.2.0.7-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (networking):
- Check for orconns and use connection_or_close_for_error() rather
- Introducing helper function to parse ExitPolicy in
or_options_t structure.
+ o Documentation:
+ - Add a doc/TUNING document with tips for handling large numbers of
+ TCP connections when running busy Tor relay. Update warning
+ message to point to this file when running out of sockets
+ operating system is allowing to use simultaneously. Resolves
+ ticket 9708.
+
o New compiler requirements:
- Tor 0.2.6.x requires that your compiler support more of the C99
language standard than before. The 'configure' script now detects
Adrien Bak.
o Removed features:
+ - Remove the --disable-curve25519 configure option. Relays and
+ clients now are required to support curve25519 and the
+ ntor handshake.
- The old "StrictEntryNodes" and "StrictExitNodes" options, which
used to be deprecated synonyms for "StrictNodes", are now marked
obsolete. Resolves ticket 12226.
