We've fixed quite a few bugs. We've also added compression for directories, and client-side directory caching on disk so you'll have a directory when Tor restarts. tarball: http://freehaven.net/tor/dist/tor-0.0.9pre1.tar.gz signature: http://freehaven.net/tor/dist/tor-0.0.9pre1.tar.gz.asc (use -dPr tor-0_0_9pre1 if you want to check out from cvs) Changes from 0.0.8: o Bugfixes: - Stop using separate defaults for no-config-file and empty-config-file. Now you have to explicitly turn off SocksPort, if you don't want it open. - Fix a bug in OutboundBindAddress so it (hopefully) works. - Improve man page to mention more of the 0.0.8 features. - Fix a rare seg fault for people running hidden services on intermittent connections. - Change our file IO stuff (especially wrt OpenSSL) so win32 is happier. - Fix more dns related bugs: send back resolve_failed and end cells more reliably when the resolve fails, rather than closing the circuit and then trying to send the cell. Also attach dummy resolve connections to a circuit *before* calling dns_resolve(), to fix a bug where cached answers would never be sent in RESOLVED cells. - When we run out of disk space, or other log writing error, don't crash. Just stop logging to that log and continue. - We were starting to daemonize before we opened our logs, so if there were any problems opening logs, we would complain to stderr, which wouldn't work, and then mysteriously exit. - Fix a rare bug where sometimes a verified OR would connect to us before he'd uploaded his descriptor, which would cause us to assign conn->nickname as though he's unverified. Now we look through the fingerprint list to see if he's there. - Fix a rare assert trigger, where routerinfos for entries in our cpath would expire while we're building the path. o Features: - Clients can ask dirservers for /dir.z to get a compressed version of the directory. Only works for servers running 0.0.9, of course. - Make clients cache directories and use them to seed their router lists at startup. This means clients have a datadir again. - Configuration infrastructure support for warning on obsolete options. - Respond to content-encoding headers by trying to uncompress as appropriate. - Reply with a deflated directory when a client asks for "dir.z". We could use allow-encodings instead, but allow-encodings isn't specified in HTTP 1.0. - Raise the max dns workers from 50 to 100. - Discourage people from setting their dirfetchpostperiod more often than once per minute - Protect dirservers from overzealous descriptor uploading -- wait 10 seconds after directory gets dirty, before regenerating. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> ______________________________________________________________ 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]
