From arma@mit.edu Fri Jul 6 02:33:59 2018 From: Roger Dingledine To: cypherpunks-legacy@lists.cpunks.org Subject: Tor 0.0.9rc6 is out Date: Fri, 06 Jul 2018 02:33:59 +0000 Message-ID: <172289242088.3881296.15189827093407435585.generated@mail.pglaf.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============8776013527656076526==" --===============8776013527656076526== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit This release improves reliability for clients. It's not perfect yet, but I think it's better. Let me know if it breaks something. tarball: http://tor.freehaven.net/dist/tor-0.0.9rc6.tar.gz signature: http://tor.freehaven.net/dist/tor-0.0.9rc6.tar.gz.asc win32 exe: http://tor.freehaven.net/dist/tor-0.0.9rc6-win32.exe win32 sig: http://tor.freehaven.net/dist/tor-0.0.9rc6-win32.exe.asc (use -dPr tor-0_0_9rc6 if you want to check out from cvs) o Bugfixes on 0.0.9pre: - Clean up some more integer underflow opportunities (not exploitable we think). - While hibernating, hup should not regrow our listeners. - Send an end to the streams we close when we hibernate, rather than just chopping them off. - React to eof immediately on non-open edge connections. o Bugfixes on 0.0.8.1: - Calculate timeout for waiting for a connected cell from the time we sent the begin cell, not from the time the stream started. If it took a long time to establish the circuit, we would time out right after sending the begin cell. - Fix router_compare_addr_to_addr_policy: it was not treating a port of * as always matching, so we were picking reject *:* nodes as exit nodes too. Oops. o Features: - New circuit building strategy: keep a list of ports that we've used in the past 6 hours, and always try to have 2 circuits open or on the way that will handle each such port. Seed us with port 80 so web users won't complain that Tor is "slow to start up". - Make kill -USR1 dump more useful stats about circuits. - When warning about retrying or giving up, print the address, so the user knows which one it's talking about. - If you haven't used a clean circuit in an hour, throw it away, just to be on the safe side. (This means after 6 hours a totally unused Tor client will have no circuits open.) ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl leitl ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07078, 11.61144 http://www.leitl.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE http://moleculardevices.org http://nanomachines.net [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature] --===============8776013527656076526==--
