Changes in version 0.2.6.6 - 2015-0?-??
|

|
||||
Write a blurb here.
|
||||
Tor 0.2.6.6 is the first stable release in the 0.2.6 series.
|
||||
|
||||
It adds numerous safety, security, correctness, and performance
|
||||
improvements. Client programs can be configured to use more kinds
|
||||
of sockets, AutomapHosts works better, the multithreading backend
|
||||
is improved, cell transmission is refactored, test coverage is
|
||||
much higher, more denial-of-service attacks are handled, guard
|
||||
selection is improved to handle long-term guards better, pluggable
|
||||
transports should work a bit better, and some annoying hidden
|
||||
service performance bugs should be addressed.
|
||||
|
||||
o New compiler and system requirements:
|
||||
- Tor 0.2.6.x requires that your compiler support more of the C99

circuits through that guard. Fixes bug 9819; bugfix on
|
||||
0.2.1.1-alpha. Reported by "skruffy".
|
||||
|
||||
o Major bugfixes (pluggable transports):
|
||||
- Initialize the extended OR Port authentication cookie before
|
||||
launching pluggable transports. This prevents a race condition
|
||||
that occured when server-side pluggable transports would cache the
|
||||
authentication cookie before it has been (re)generated. Fixes bug
|
||||
15240; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major bugfixes (relay, stability, possible security):
|
||||
- Fix a bug that could lead to a relay crashing with an assertion
|
||||
failure if a buffer of exactly the wrong layout is passed to

minutes to 30 seconds (or from one hour to 10 minutes if
|
||||
AvoidDiskWrites is set). Closes ticket 12485.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (heartbeat):
|
||||
- On relays, report how many connections we negotiated using each
|
||||
version of the Tor link protocols. This information will let us
|
||||
know if removing support for very old versions of the Tor
|
||||
protocols is harming the network. Closes ticket 15212.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (hidden service):
|
||||
- Make Sybil attacks against hidden services harder by changing the
|
||||
minimum time required to get the HSDir flag from 25 hours up to 96

ticket 14202.
|

- Remove a test for a long-defunct broken version-one

directory server.
|
||||
|

o Code simplification and refactoring:
|
||||
- Refactor main loop to extract the 'loop' part. This makes it
|

easier to run Tor under Shadow. Closes ticket 15176.
|

- Stop using can_complete_circuits as a global variable; access it

with a function instead.
