Changes in version 0.2.4.12-alpha - 2013-04-18
Tor 0.2.4.12-alpha moves Tor forward on several fronts: it starts the
process for lengthening the guard rotation period, makes directory
authority opinions in the consensus a bit less gameable, makes socks5
username/password circuit isolation actually work, and fixes a wide
variety of other issues.
o Major features:
- Raise the default time that a client keeps an entry guard from
"1-2 months" to "2-3 months", as suggested by Tariq Elahi's WPES

- Add CACHED keyword to ADDRMAP events in the control protocol
to indicate whether a DNS result will be cached or not. Resolves
ticket 8596.
- Eliminate several instances where we use "Nickname=ID" to refer to
nodes in logs. Use "Nickname (ID)" instead. (Elsewhere, we still use
"$ID=Nickname", which is also acceptable.) Fixes bug 7065. Bugfix
on 0.2.3.21-rc, 0.2.4.5-alpha, 0.2.4.8-alpha, and 0.2.4.10-alpha.

run it on Windows. More bugs likely remain. Patch from Gisle Vanem.
Fixes bug 7280; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
- Add the old src/or/micro-revision.i filename to CLEANFILES.
On the off chance that somebody has one, it will go away as soon
as they run "make clean". Fix for bug 7143; bugfix on 0.2.4.1-alpha.
- Build Tor correctly on 32-bit platforms where the compiler can build
but not run code using the "uint128_t" construction. Fixes bug 8587;
bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
- Fix compilation warning with some versions of clang that would
prefer the -Wswitch-enum compiler flag to warn about switch
statements with missing enum values, even if those switch
statements have a "default:" statement. Fixes bug 8598; bugfix

- When autodetecting the number of CPUs, use the number of available
CPUs in preference to the number of configured CPUs. Inform the
user if this reduces the number of available CPUs. Fixes bug 8002.
Bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
- Elevate the severity of the warning message when setting
EntryNodes but disabling UseGuardNodes to an error. The outcome
of letting Tor proceed with those options enabled (which causes
EntryNodes to get ignored) is sufficiently different from what
was expected that it's best to just refuse to proceed. Fixes bug

o Minor bugfixes (log messages to help diagnose bugs):
- If we fail to free a microdescriptor because of bug 7164, log
the filename and line number from which we tried to free it.
This should help us finally fix bug 7164.
- Add another diagnostic to the heartbeat message: track and log
overhead that TLS is adding to the data we write. If this is
high, we are sending too little data to SSL_write at a time.
Diagnostic for bug 7707.
- Add more detail to a log message about relaxed timeouts. Hopefully
this additional detail will allow us to diagnose the cause of
bug 7799.
- Add more detail to a log message about relaxed timeouts, to help
track bug 7799.
- Warn more aggressively when flushing microdescriptors to a
microdescriptor cache fails, in an attempt to mitigate bug 8031,
or at least make it more diagnosable.
- Improve debugging output to attempt to diagnose the underlying
cause of bug 8185.
- Improve debugging output to help track down bug 8185 ("Bug:
outgoing relay cell has n_chan==NULL. Dropping.")
- Log the purpose of a path-bias testing circuit correctly.
Improves a log message from bug 8477; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (0.2.4.x log messages that were too noisy):
- Don't attempt to relax the timeout of already opened 1-hop circuits.
They might never timeout. This should eliminate some/all cases of
the relaxed timeout log message.
- Use circuit creation time for network liveness evaluation. This
should eliminate warning log messages about liveness caused
by changes in timeout evaluation. Fixes bug 6572; bugfix on
0.2.4.8-alpha.

- Reduce a path bias length check from notice to info. The message
