Changes in version 0.2.8.3-?? - 2016-05-??
xxx blurb goes here xxx
o Major bugfixes (security, client, DNS proxy):
- Stop a crash that could occur when a client running with DNSPort
received a query with multiple address types, and the first
address type was not supported. Found and fixed by Scott Dial.
Fixes bug 18710; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (security, compilation):
- Correctly detect compiler flags on systems where _FORTIFY_SOURCE
is predefined. Previously, our use of -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE would
cause a compiler warning, thereby making other checks fail, and
needlessly disabling compiler-hardening support. Fixes one case of
bug 18841; bugfix on 0.2.3.17-beta. Patch from "trudokal".
o Major bugfixes (security, directory authorities):
- Fix a crash and out-of-bounds write during authority voting, when
the list of relays includes duplicate ed25519 identity keys. Fixes
bug 19032; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (compilation):
- Correctly detect compiler flags on systems where _FORTIFY_SOURCE
is predefined. Previously, our use of -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE would
cause a compiler warning, thereby making other checks fail. Fixes
one case of bug 18841; bugfix on 0.2.3.17-beta. Patch
from "trudokal".
o Major bugfixes (crypto, portability):
- The SHA3 and SHAKE routines now produce the correct output on Big
Endian systems, unbreaking the unit tests. No code calls either
algorithm family yet, so this is primarily a build fix. Fixes bug
18943; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (directory mirrors):
- Decide whether to advertise begindir support the same way we
decide whether to advertise our DirPort. These decisions being out
of sync led to surprising behavior like advertising begindir
support when our hibernation config options made us not advertise
a DirPort. Resolves bug 18616; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. Patch
by teor.
- Decide whether to advertise begindir support in the the same way
we decide whether to advertise our DirPort. Allowing these
decisions to become out-of-sync led to surprising behavior like
advertising begindir support when hibernation made us not
advertise a DirPort. Resolves bug 18616; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
Patch by teor.
o Major bugfixes (DNS proxy):
- Stop a crash that could occur when a client running with DNSPort
received a query with multiple address types, where the first
address type was not supported. Found and fixed by Scott Dial.

o Major bugfixes (IPv6 bridges):
- Fix directory address selection for IPv6 bridges. Fixes bug 18921;
bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. Patch by "teor".
o Major bugfixes (IPv6 bridges, client):
- Actually use IPv6 addresses when selecting directory addresses for
IPv6 bridges. Fixes bug 18921; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. Patch
by "teor".
o Major bugfixes (testing):
- Fix a bug that would block 'make test-network-all' on systems where
IPv6 packets were lost. Fixes bug 19008; bugfix on tor-0.2.7.3-rc.
o Minor feature (logging):
- When rejecting a misformed INTRODUCE2 cell, only log at
PROTOCOL_WARN severity. Closes ticket 18761.
o Minor features (build):
- Tor now builds again with the recent OpenSSL 1.1 development
branch (tested against 1.1.0-pre4 and 1.1.0-pre5-dev). Closes
ticket 18286.
o Minor features (clients):
- Make clients, onion services, and bridge relays always use an
encrypted begindir connection for directory requests. Resolves

shorter than the size of a pointer. Fixes bug 18716; bugfix
