Changes in version 0.2.4.18-rc - 2013-10-??
Changes in version 0.2.4.18-rc - 2013-11-16
Tor 0.2.4.18-rc is the fourth release candidate for the Tor 0.2.4.x
series. [...]
series. It takes a variety of fixes from the 0.2.5.x branch to improve
stability, performance, and better handling of edge cases.
o Major enhancements:
o Major features:
- Re-enable TLS 1.1 and 1.2 when built with OpenSSL 1.0.1e or later.
(OpenSSL before 1.0.1 didn't have TLS 1.1 or 1.2. OpenSSL from 1.0.1
through 1.0.1d had bugs that prevented renegotiation from working
with TLS 1.1 or 1.2, so we disabled them to solve bug 6033.) Fix for
issue #6055.
Resolves ticket 6055. (OpenSSL before 1.0.1 didn't have TLS 1.1 or
1.2, and OpenSSL from 1.0.1 through 1.0.1d had bugs that prevented
renegotiation from working with TLS 1.1 or 1.2, so we had disabled
them to solve bug 6033.)
o Major bugfixes:
- Stop trying to bootstrap all our directory information from
only our first guard. Discovered while fixing bug 9946; bugfix
on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
- No longer stop reading or writing on cpuworker connections when
our rate limiting buckets go empty. Now we should handle circuit
handshake requests more promptly. Resolves bug 9731.
o Minor bugfixes:
- If we are unable to save a microdescriptor to the journal, do not
drop it from memory and then reattempt downloading it. Fixes bug
9645; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
- Stop trying to bootstrap all our directory information from
only our first guard. Discovered while fixing bug 9946; bugfix
on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
- The new channel code sometimes lost track of in-progress circuits,
causing long-running clients to stop building new circuits. The
fix is to always call circuit_n_chan_done(chan, 0) from
channel_closed(). Fixes bug 9776; bugfix on 0.2.4.17-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (performance, fingerprinting):
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.4.x):
- Correctly log long IPv6 exit policies, instead of truncating them
or reporting an error. Fixes bug 9596; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
- Our default TLS ecdhe groups were backwards: we meant to be using
P224 for relays (for performance win) and P256 for bridges (since
it is more common in the wild). Instead we had it backwards. After

hosts, since its security is probably better, and since P224 is
reportedly used quite little in the wild. Found by "skruffy" on
IRC. Fix for bug 9780; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.4.x):
- Correctly log long IPv6 exit policies, instead of truncating them
or reporting an error. Fixes bug 9596; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
- Free directory authority certificate download statuses on exit
rather than leaking them. Fixes bug 9644; bugfix on 0.2.4.13-alpha.
- Always call circuit_n_chan_done(chan, 0) from channel_closed(),
so we can't leak pending circuits in some cases where
run_connection_housekeeping() calls connection_or_close_normally().
Fixes bug 9776; bugfix on 0.2.4.17.
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.3.x and earlier):

o Minor features:
o Minor features (protecting client timestamps):
- Clients no longer send timestamps in their NETINFO cells. These were
not used for anything, and they provided one small way for clients
to be distinguished from each other as they moved from network to

good purpose, and isn't needed. Implements part of proposal 222.
- Reduce down accuracy of timestamps in hidden service descriptors.
Implements part of proposal 222.
o Minor features (other):
- Improve the circuit queue out-of-memory handler. Previously, when
we ran low on memory, we'd close whichever circuits had the most
queued cells. Now, we close those that have the *oldest* queued
cells, on the theory that those are most responsible for us
running low on memory. Based on analysis from a forthcoming paper
by Jansen, Tschorsch, Johnson, and Scheuermann. Fixes bug 9093.
- Generate bootstrapping status update events correctly when fetching
microdescriptors. Fixes bug 9927.
- Add anchors to the manpage so we can link to the html version of
the documentation for specific options. Resolves ticket 9866.
- Update to the October 2 2013 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
o Documentation fixes:
- Clarify the usage and risks of setting the ContactInfo torrc line
for your relay or bridge. Resolves ticket 9854.
- Add anchors to the manpage so we can link to the html version of
the documentation for specific options. Resolves ticket 9866.
- Replace remaining references to DirServer in man page and
log entries. Resolves ticket 10124.
