Changes in version 0.2.8.5-rc - 2016-07-0?
Tor 0.2.8.5-rc is the second release candidate in the Tor 0.2.8 series.
If we find no new bugs or regressions here, the first stable 0.2.8
release will be identical to it. It has a few small bugfixes against
previous versions.
o Major bugfixes (heartbeat):
- Fix regression that crashes Tor when disabling heartbeats. Fixes bug
19454; bugfix on tor-0.2.8.1-alpha. Reported by "kubaku".
o Minor features (build):
- Tor now again builds with the recent OpenSSL 1.1 development branch
(tested against 1.1.0-pre6-dev). Closes ticket 19499.
o Fallback directory list:
- Add a comment to the generated list that explains how to comment-out
unsuitable fallbacks in a way that's compatible with the stem fallback
parser.
- Update fallback whitelist and blacklist based on relay operator
emails. Blacklist unsuitable fallbacks. Resolves ticket 19071.
Patch by teor.
- Update hard-coded fallback list to remove unsuitable fallbacks.
Resolves ticket 19071. Patch by teor.
o Minor bugfixes (build):
- When building manual pages, set the timezone to "UTC", so that the
output is reproducible. Fixes bug 19558; bugfix on 0.2.2.9-alpha.
Patch from intrigeri.
o Minor bugfixes (fallback directory selection):
- Avoid errors during fallback selection if there are no eligible
fallbacks. Fixes bug 19480; bugfix on ba76910 and 78ec782 in
0.2.8.3-alpha. Patch by teor.
o Minor bugfixes (logging):
- Reduce excessive logging when directories can't be found.
Fixes bug 18849; bugfix on 0.2.8.3-alpha and 0.2.8.1-alpha.
Patch by teor.
- When a fallback changes its fingerprint from the hard-coded
fingerprint, log a less severe, more explanatory log message.
Fixes bug 18812; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. Patch by teor.
o Minor bugfixes (sandboxing):
- When sandboxing is enabled, we could not write any stats to
disk. check_or_create_data_subdir("stats"), which prepares the
private stats directory, calls check_private_dir(), which also
opens and not just stats() the directory. Therefore, we need to
also allow open() for the stats dir in our sandboxing setup.
Fixes bug 19556; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
- Our sandboxing code would not allow us to write to stats/hidserv-stats,
causing tor to abort while trying to write stats. This was previously
masked by bug 19556. Fixes bug 19557; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (user interface):
- Remove a warning message "Service [scrubbed] not found after
descriptor upload". This message appears when one uses HSPOST control
command to upload a service descriptor. Since there is only a descriptor
and no service, showing this message is pointless and confusing.
Fixes bug 19464; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
Changes in version 0.2.8.4-rc - 2016-06-15 Changes in version 0.2.8.4-rc - 2016-06-15
