table positions are derived from a randomized cryptographic key,
|
||||
and an attacker cannot predict which entries will collide. Closes
|
||||
ticket 4900.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major features (security):
|
||||
- If you don't specify MaxMemInQueues yourself, Tor now tries to
|
||||
pick a good value based on your total system memory. Previously,
|
||||
the default was always 8 GB. You can still override the default by
|
||||
setting MaxMemInQueues yourself. Resolves ticket 11396.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major features (client security):
|
||||
- The ntor handshake is now on-by-default, no matter what the
|
||||
directory authorities recommend. Implements ticket 8561.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major features (other security):
|
||||
- Disable support for SSLv3. All versions of OpenSSL in use with Tor
|
||||
today support TLS 1.0 or later, so we can safely turn off support
|
||||
for this old (and insecure) protocol. Fixes bug 13426.
|
||||
- Warn about attempts to run hidden services and relays in the same
|
||||
process: that's probably not a good idea. Closes ticket 12908.
|
||||
- Make the "tor-gencert" tool used by directory authority operators
|
||||
create 2048-bit signing keys by default (rather than 1024-bit, since
|
||||
1024-bit is uncomfortably small these days). Addresses ticket 10324.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major features (bridges):
|
||||
- Don't launch pluggable transport proxies if we don't have any
|
||||
bridges configured that would use them. Now we can list many

platforms. This work has been done by Cristian-Matei Toader for
|
||||
Google Summer of Code. Resolves tickets 11351 and 11465.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major features (other):
|
||||
o Major features (controller):
|
||||
- Extend ORCONN controller event to include an "ID" parameter,
|
||||
and add four new controller event types CONN_BW, CIRC_BW,
|
||||
CELL_STATS, and TB_EMPTY that show connection and circuit usage.
|
||||
The new events are emitted in private Tor networks only, with the
|
||||
goal of being able to better track performance and load during
|
||||
full-network simulations. Implements proposal 218 and ticket 7359.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major features (other):
|
||||
- On some platforms (currently: recent OSX versions, glibc-based
|
||||
platforms that support the ELF format, and a few other
|
||||
Unix-like operating systems), Tor can now dump stack traces
|
||||
when a crash occurs or an assertion fails. By default, traces
|
||||
are dumped to stderr (if possible) and to any logs that are
|
||||
reporting errors. Implements ticket 9299.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major features (bridges and pluggable transports):
|
||||
- Add support for passing arguments to managed pluggable transport
|
||||
proxies. Implements ticket 3594.
|
||||
- Bridges now track GeoIP information and the number of their users
|
||||
even when pluggable transports are in use, and report usage
|
||||
statistics in their extra-info descriptors. Resolves tickets 4773
|
||||
and 5040.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major features (testing networks):
|
||||
- Make testing Tor networks bootstrap better: lower directory fetch
|
||||
retry schedules and maximum interval without directory requests,
|
||||
and raise maximum download tries. Implements ticket 6752.
|
||||
- Add make target 'test-network' to run tests on a Chutney network.
|
||||
Implements ticket 8530.
|
||||
- The ntor handshake is now on-by-default, no matter what the
|
||||
directory authorities recommend. Implements ticket 8561.
|
||||

- We now have rudimentary function mocking support that our unit
