Changes in version 0.2.4.17-rc - 2013-09-0x
Changes in version 0.2.4.17-rc - 2013-09-05
Tor 0.2.4.17-rc is the third release candidate for the Tor 0.2.4.x
series. It adds an emergency step to help us tolerate the massive
influx of users: 0.2.4 clients using the new (faster and safer) "NTor"
circuit-level handshakes now effectively jump the queue compared to
the 0.2.3 clients using "TAP" handshakes. This release also fixes a
big bug hindering bridge reachability tests.
o Major features:
- Relays now process the new "NTor" circuit-level handshake requests

- Bridges now send AUTH_CHALLENGE cells during their v3 handshakes;
previously they did not, which prevented them from receiving
successful connections from relays for self-test or bandwidth
testing. Fixes bug 9546; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
- When a relay is extending a circuit to a bridge, it needs to send a
NETINFO cell, even when the bridge hasn't sent an AUTH_CHALLENGE
cell. Fixes bug 9546; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha.

- If the time to download the next old-style networkstatus is in
the future, do not decline to consider whether to download the
next microdescriptor networkstatus. Fixes bug 9564; bugfix on
0.2.3.14-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Avoid double-closing the listener socket in our socketpair
- Avoid double-closing the listener socket in our socketpair()
replacement (used on Windows) in the case where the addresses on
our opened sockets don't match what we expected. Fixes bug 9400;
bugfix on every released Tor version. Found by Coverity.
