Changes in version 0.2.6.10 - 2015-07-14
Tor version 0.2.6.10 fixes some significant stability and hidden
service client bugs, bulletproofs the cryptography init process, and .
Everyone running an older version, especially an older version of
0.2.6, should upgrade.
o Major bugfixes (crypto error-handling):
- If crypto_early_init fails, a typo in a return value from tor_init
means that tor_main continues running, rather than returning an
error value. Fixes bug 16360; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha, introduced
when implementing 4900. Patch by "teor".
o Major bugfixes (hidden service clients, stability):
- Revert commit 9407040c592184 of bug 14219 that indeed fixed an
issue but introduced a major hidden service reachability
regression detailed in bug 16381. This is a temporary fix since we
can live with the minor issue in #14219 but the regression
introduced is too much of a set back.
To be clear, 14219 bug just results in some load on the network,
and some delay for the client when visiting a hidden service that
will ultimately fail.
Workaround for bug 16381; bugfix on tor-0.2.6.3-alpha~138.
o Major bugfixes (stability):
- Do not crash with an assertion error when parsing certain kinds of
malformed or truncated microdescriptors. Fixes bug 16400; bugfix
on 0.2.6.1-alpha. Found by "torkeln"; fix based on a patch
by "cypherpunks_backup".
- Stop randomly crashing with an assertion failure when connecting
to a busy hidden service, or connecting to a hidden service while
a NEWNYM is in progress. Fixes bug 16013; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
o Minor features:
- Update geoip to the June 3 2015 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database.
- Update geoip6 to the June 3 2015 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox):
- Allow pipe() and pipe2() syscalls; we need these when eventfd2()
support is missing. Fixes bug 16363; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
Patch from "teor".
Changes in version 0.2.6.9 - 2015-06-11
Tor 0.2.6.9 fixes a regression in the circuit isolation code, increases the
requirements for receiving an HSDir flag, and addresses some other small
