Changes in version 0.3.1.5-??? - 2017-08-01
Blurb goes here
This release also marks the end of support for the Tor 0.2.4.x,
0.2.6.x, and 0.2.7.x release series. Those releases will receive no
further bug or security fixes. Anyone still running or distributing
one of those versions should upgrade.
o Major features (build system):
- Tor's repository now includes a Travis Continuous Integration (CI)
configuration file (.travis.yml). This is meant to help new
developers and contributors who fork Tor to a Github repository be
better able to test their changes, and understand what we expect
to pass. To use this new build feature, you must fork Tor to your
Github account, then go into the "Integrations" menu in the
repository settings for your fork and enable Travis, then push
your changes. Closes ticket 22636.
o Major bugfixes (openbsd, denial-of-service):
- Avoid an assertion failure bug affecting our implementation of
inet_pton(AF_INET6) on certain OpenBSD systems whose strtol()
handling of "0xfoo" differs from what we had expected. Fixes bug
22789; bugfix on 0.2.3.8-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-007.
o Major bugfixes (relay, performance):
- Perform circuit handshake operations at a higher priority than we
use for consensus diff creation and compression. This should
prevent circuits from starving when a relay or bridge receive a
new consensus, especially on lower-powered machines. Fixes bug
22883; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor features (bridge authority):
- Add "fingerprint" line to networkstatus-bridges produced by bridge
authorities. Closes ticket 22207.
o Minor features (directory cache, consensus diff):
- Add a new MaxConsensusAgeForDiffs option to allow directory cache
operators with low-resource environments to adjust the number of
consensuses they'll store and generate diffs from. Most cache
operators should leave it unchanged. Helps to work around
bug 22883.
o Minor features (relay, performance):
- Always start relays with at least two worker threads, to prevent
priority inversion on slow tasks. Part of the fix for bug 22883.
o Minor features (relay, thread pool):
- Allow background work to be queued with different priorities, so
that a big pile of slow low-priority jobs will not starve out
higher priority jobs. This lays the groundwork for a fix for
bug 22883.
o Minor bugfixes (build system, rust):
- Fix a problem with Rust toolchains not being found when building
without --enable-cargo-online-mode, due to setting the $HOME
environment variable instead of $CARGO_HOME. Fixes bug 22830;
bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha. Fix by Chelsea Komlo.
o Minor bugfixes (compatibility, zstd):
- Write zstd epilogues correctly when the epilogue requires
reallocation of the output buffer, even with zstd 1.3.0.
(Previously, we worked on 1.2.0 and failed with 1.3.0). Fixes bug
22927; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation warnings):
- Suppress -Wdouble-promotion warnings with clang 4.0. Fixes bug
22915; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (Compilation):
- Fix warnings when building with libscrypt and openssl scrypt
support on Clang. Fixes bug 22916; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
- Compile correctly when both openssl 1.1.0 and libscrypt are
detected. Previously this would cause an error. Fixes bug 22892;
bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
- When building with certain versions the mingw C header files,
avoid float-conversion warnings when calling the C functions
isfinite(), isnan(), and signbit(). Fixes bug 22801; bugfix
on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (consensus diff):
- test_consdiff_base64cmp would fail on OS X because while OS X
follows the standard of (less than zero/zero/greater than zero),
it doesn't follow the convention of (-1/0/+1). Make the test
comply with the standard. Fixes bug 22870; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (coverity builds):
- Avoid Coverity build warnings related to our BUG() macro. By
default, Coverity treats BUG() as the Linux kernel does: an
instant abort(). We need to override that so our BUG() macro
doesn't prevent Coverity from analyzing functions that use it.
Fixes bug 23030; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (directory authority):
- When a directory authority rejects a descriptor or extrainfo with
a given digest, mark that digest as undownloadable, so that we do
not attempt to download it again over and over. We previously
tried to avoid downloading such descriptors by other means, but we
didn't notice if we accidentally downloaded one anyway. This
behavior became problematic in 0.2.7.2-alpha, when authorities
began pinning Ed25519 keys. Fixes bug 22349; bugfix
on 0.2.1.19-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (error reporting, windows):
- When formatting Windows error messages, use the English format to
avoid codepage issues. Fixes bug 22520; bugfix on 0.1.2.8-alpha.
Patch from "Vort".
o Minor bugfixes (file limits):
- When setting the maximum number of connections allowed by the OS,
always allow some extra file descriptors for other files. Fixes
bug 22797; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox):
- Avoid a sandbox failure when trying to re-bind to a socket and
mark it as IPv6-only. Fixes bug 20247; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory leak):
- Fix a small memory leak when validating a configuration that uses
two or more AF_UNIX sockets for the same port type. Fixes bug
23053; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha. This is CID 1415725.
o Minor bugfixes (unit tests):
- Fix a memory leak in the link-handshake/certs_ok_ed25519 test.
Fixes bug 22803; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
Changes in version 0.3.1.4-alpha - 2017-06-29
Tor 0.3.1.4-alpha fixes a path selection bug that would allow a client
to use a guard that was in the same network family as a chosen exit
