Changes in version 0.2.4.19 - 2013-12-11
The Tor 0.2.4 release series is dedicated to the memory of Aaron Swartz
(1986-2013). Aaron worked on diverse projects including helping to guide
Creative Commons, playing a key role in stopping SOPA/PIPA, bringing
transparency to the U.S government's PACER documents, and contributing
design and development for Tor and Tor2Web. Aaron was one of the latest
martyrs in our collective fight for civil liberties and human rights,
and his death is all the more painful because he was one of us.
Tor 0.2.4.19, the first stable release in the 0.2.4 branch, features
a new circuit handshake and link encryption that use ECC to provide
better security and efficiency; makes relays better manage circuit
creation requests; uses "directory guards" to reduce client enumeration
risks; makes bridges collect and report statistics about the pluggable
transports they support; cleans up and improves our geoip database;
gets much closer to ipv6 support for clients, bridges, and relays; makes
directory authorities use measured bandwidths rather than advertised
ones when computing flags and thresholds; disables client-side DNS
caching to reduce tracking risks; and fixes a big bug in bridge
reachability testing. This new release introduces two new design
abstractions in the code: a new "channel" abstraction between circuits
and or_connections to allow for implementing alternate relay-to-relay
transports, and a new "circuitmux" abstraction storing the queue of
circuits for a channel. It also includes many stability, security,
and privacy fixes.
