Changes in version 0.2.0.3-alpha - 2007-??-??
o Removed features:
- Stop allowing address masks that do not correspond to bit prefixes.
We have warned about these for a really long time; now it's time
to reject them. (Patch from croup.)
o Minor features:
- Create listener connections before we setuid to the configured User and
Group. This way, you can choose port values under 1024, start Tor as
root, and have Tor bind those ports before it changes to another UID.
- tor-gencert creates all files as readable to the file creator only, and
write-protects the authority identity key.
o Major features:
- Create listener connections before we setuid to the configured
User and Group. Now you can choose port values under 1024, start
Tor as root, and have Tor bind those ports before it changes to
another UID.
- New ConstrainedSockets option to set SO_SNDBUF and SO_RCVBUF on TCP
sockets. (Patch from coderman.)
- When dumping memory usage, list bytes used in buffer memory free-lists.
sockets. Hopefully useful for Tor servers running on "vserver"
accounts. (Patch from coderman.)
o Minor features (directory authority):
- Fail quickly and (relatively) harmlessly if we generate a network
status document that is somehow malformed.
o Security fixes:
- Directory authorities now call routers Fast if their bandwidth is
at least 100KB/s, and consider their bandwidth adequate to be a
Guard if it is at least 250KB/s, no matter the medians. This fix
complements proposal 107. [Bugfix on 0.1.2.x]
o Major bugfixes (directory):
- Rewrite directory tokenization code to never run off the end of
a string. Fixes bug 455. Patch from croup. [Bugfix on 0.1.2.x]

Tor has downloaded sufficient directory information. (Patch from Tup.)
Tor has downloaded sufficient directory information. (Patch
from Tup.)
- You can now use the ControlSocket option to tell Tor to listen for
controller connections on Unix domain sockets on systems that support
them. (Patch from Peter Palfrader.)
- STREAM NEW events are generated for DNSPort requests and for tunneled
directory connections. (Patch from Robert Hogan.)
- New GETINFO address-mappings/* command to get address mappings with
expiry information. addr-mappings/* is now deprecated.

o Minor features (IPv6):

- Merge in some (as-yet-unused) IPv6 address manipulation code. (Patch

- If exit bandwidth ever exceeds one third of total bandwidth, then
use the correct formula to weight exit nodes when choosing paths.
(Based on patch from Mike Perry.)
o Performance improvements (win32):
- Use Critical Sections rather than Mutexes for synchronizing threads
on win32; Mutexes are heavier-weight, and designed for synchronizing
between processes.
o Deprecated features:
o Deprecated and removed features:
- RedirectExits is now deprecated.
