Tor 0.1.1.17-rc is out

This is the third release candidate for the 0.1.1.x series. It fixes several major bugs for clients and servers. It also adds a fourth authoritative directory server (finally). http://tor.eff.org/download.html Changes in version 0.1.1.17-rc - 2006-03-28 o Major fixes: - Clients and servers since 0.1.1.10-alpha have been expiring connections whenever they are idle for 5 minutes and they *do* have circuits on them. Oops. With this new version, clients will discard their previous entry guard choices and avoid choosing entry guards running these flawed versions. - Fix memory leak when uncompressing concatenated zlib streams. This was causing substantial leaks over time on Tor servers. - The v1 directory was including servers as much as 48 hours old, because that's how the new routerlist->routers works. Now only include them if they're 20 hours old or less. o Minor fixes: - Resume building on irix64, netbsd 2.0, etc. - On non-gcc compilers (e.g. solaris), use "-g -O" instead of "-Wall -g -O2". - Stop writing the "router.desc" file, ever. Nothing uses it anymore, and it is confusing some users. - Mirrors stop caching the v1 directory so often. - Make the max number of old descriptors that a cache will hold rise with the number of directory authorities, so we can scale. - Change our win32 uname() hack to be more forgiving about what win32 versions it thinks it's found. o New features: - Add lefkada.eecs.harvard.edu as a fourth authoritative directory server. - When the controller's *setconf commands fail, collect an error message in a string and hand it back to the controller. - Make the v2 dir's "Fast" flag based on relative capacity, just like "Stable" is based on median uptime. Name everything in the top 7/8 Fast, and only the top 1/2 gets to be a Guard. - Log server fingerprint on startup, so new server operators don't have to go hunting around their filesystem for it. - Return a robots.txt on our dirport to discourage google indexing. - Let the controller ask for GETINFO dir/status/foo so it can ask directly rather than connecting to the dir port. Only works when dirport is set for now. o New config options rather than constants in the code: - SocksTimeout: How long do we let a socks connection wait unattached before we fail it? - CircuitBuildTimeout: Cull non-open circuits that were born at least this many seconds ago. - CircuitIdleTimeout: Cull open clean circuits that were born at least this many seconds ago. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> 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 had a name of signature.asc]
