These + changes could speed up hidden service connections dramatically. + + o Major bugfixes (other): + - Stop publishing a new server descriptor just because we get a + HUP signal. This led (in a roundabout way) to some servers getting + dropped from the networkstatus lists for a few hours each day. + - When looking for a circuit to cannibalize, consider family as well + as identity. Fixes bug 438. Bugfix on 0.1.0.x (which introduced + circuit cannibalization). + - When a router wasn't listed in a new networkstatus, we were leaving + the flags for that router alone -- meaning it remained Named, + Running, etc -- even though absence from the networkstatus means + that it shouldn't be considered to exist at all anymore. Now we + clear all the flags for routers that fall out of the networkstatus + consensus.

Bugfix on 0.1.2.17. + - When loading bandwidth history, do not believe any information in + the future. Fixes bug 434. + - When loading entry guard information, do not believe any information + in the future. + - When we have our clock set far in the future and generate an + onion key, then re-set our clock to be correct, we should not stop + the onion key from getting rotated. + - On some platforms, accept() can return a broken address. Detect + this more quietly, and deal accordingly. Fixes bug 483. + - It's not actually an error to find a non-pending entry in the DNS + cache when canceling a pending resolve. Don't log unless stuff + is fishy. Resolves bug 463. + - Don't reset trusted dir server list when we set a configuration + option.
