Changes in version 0.2.2.32 - 2011-08-26
The Tor 0.2.2 release series is dedicated to the memory of Andreas
Pfitzmann (1958-2010), a pioneer in anonymity and privacy research,
a founder of the PETS community, a leader in our field, a mentor,
and a friend. He left us with these words: "I had the possibility
to contribute to this world that is not as it should be. I hope I
could help in some areas to make the world a better place, and that
I could also encourage other people to be engaged in improving the
world. Please, stay engaged. This world needs you, your love, your
initiative. Now I cannot be part of that anymore."
Tor 0.2.2.32, the first stable release in the 0.2.2 branch, is finally
ready. More than two years in the making, this release features improved
client performance and hidden service reliability, better compatibility
for Android, correct behavior for bridges that listen on more than
one address, more extensible and flexible directory object handling,
better reporting of network statistics, improved code security, and
many many other features and bugfixes.
Changes in version 0.2.2.31-rc - 2011-08-17
Tor 0.2.2.31-rc is the second and hopefully final release candidate
for the Tor 0.2.2.x series.
o Major bugfixes:
- Remove an extra pair of quotation marks around the error
message in control-port STATUS_GENERAL BUG events. Bugfix on
0.1.2.6-alpha; fixes bug 3732.
- If we're configured to write our ControlPorts to disk, only write
them after switching UID and creating the data directory. This way,
we don't fail when starting up with a nonexistent DataDirectory
and a ControlPortWriteToFile setting based on that directory. Fixes
bug 3747; bugfix on Tor 0.2.2.26-beta.
o Minor features:
- Update to the August 2 2011 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Allow GETINFO fingerprint to return a fingerprint even when
we have not yet built a router descriptor. Fixes bug 3577;
bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
- Write several files in text mode, on OSes that distinguish text
mode from binary mode (namely, Windows). These files are:
'buffer-stats', 'dirreq-stats', and 'entry-stats' on relays
that collect those statistics; 'client_keys' and 'hostname' for
hidden services that use authentication; and (in the tor-gencert
utility) newly generated identity and signing keys. Previously,
we wouldn't specify text mode or binary mode, leading to an
assertion failure. Fixes bug 3607. Bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha (when
the DirRecordUsageByCountry option which would have triggered
the assertion failure was added), although this assertion failure
would have occurred in tor-gencert on Windows in 0.2.0.1-alpha.
- Selectively disable deprecation warnings on OS X because Lion
started deprecating the shipped copy of openssl. Fixes bug 3643.
- When unable to format an address as a string, report its value
as "???" rather than reusing the last formatted address. Bugfix
on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
Changes in version 0.2.3.2-alpha - 2011-07-18
Tor 0.2.3.2-alpha introduces two new experimental features:
microdescriptors and pluggable transports. It also continues cleaning
