From arma@mit.edu Fri Jul 6 02:36:58 2018 From: Roger Dingledine To: cypherpunks-legacy@lists.cpunks.org Subject: Tor 0.1.0.17 is released Date: Fri, 06 Jul 2018 02:36:58 +0000 Message-ID: <172289245890.3881296.7936919996849682918.generated@mail.pglaf.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============5362048023765478200==" --===============5362048023765478200== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Tor 0.1.0.17 fixes a crash bug for servers that enable hibernation, lets Windows servers scale better, and tries to reduce the bandwidth overhead from the old-style directory protocol. Both clients and servers are encouraged to upgrade. http://tor.eff.org/download Changes in version 0.1.0.17 - 2006-02-17 o Crash bugfixes on 0.1.0.x: - When servers with a non-zero DirPort came out of hibernation, sometimes they would trigger an assert. o Other important bugfixes: - On platforms that don't have getrlimit (like Windows), we were artificially constraining ourselves to a max of 1024 connections. Now just assume that we can handle as many as 15000 connections. Hopefully this won't cause other problems. o Backported features: - When we're a server, a client asks for an old-style directory, and our write bucket is empty, don't give it to him. This way small servers can continue to serve the directory *sometimes*, without getting overloaded. - Whenever you get a 503 in response to a directory fetch, try once more. This will become important once servers start sending 503's whenever they feel busy. - Fetch a new directory every 120 minutes, not every 40 minutes. Now that we have hundreds of thousands of users running the old directory algorithm, it's starting to hurt a lot. - Bump up the period for forcing a hidden service descriptor upload from 20 minutes to 1 hour. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl leitl http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature which h= ad a name of signature.asc] --===============5362048023765478200==--
