Changes in version 0.2.3.1-alpha - 2011-05-05
Tor 0.2.3.1-alpha adds some new experimental features, including support
for an improved network IO backend, IOCP networking on Windows,

home router configuration. There are also numerous internal improvements
to try to make the code easier for developers to work with.
This is the first alpha release in a new series, so expect there to be
bugs. Users who would rather test out a more stable branch should
stay with 0.2.2.x for now.
o Major features
- Tor can now optionally build with the "bufferevents" buffered IO
backend provided by Libevent 2. To use this feature, make sure you

because we didn't have an efficient way to keep the list up to

- Exit nodes now accept and queue data on not-yet-connected streams.
Previously, the client wasn't allowed to send data until the stream was
connected, which slowed down all connections. This change will enable

o Minor features:
- Make logging resolution configurable and change default from 1
millisecond to 1 second. Implements enhancement 1668.
- We log which torrc file we're using on startup. Implements ticket 2444.

option, and change the default from 1 millisecond to 1

- We log which torrc file we're using on startup. Implements ticket
2444.
- Ordinarily, Tor does not count traffic from private addresses (like
127.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.1) when calculating rate limits or accounting.
There is now a new option, CountPrivateBandwidth, to disable this
behavior. Patch from Daniel Cagara.
- New --enable-static-tor configure option for building Tor as statically
as possible. Idea, general hackery and thoughts from Alexei Czeskis,
John Gilmore, Jacob Appelbaum. Implements ticket 2702.
- If you set the NumCPUs option to 0, Tor will now try to detect how many
CPUs you have. This is the new default behavior.

- The microdesc journal is supposed to get rebuilt only if it is
at least _half_ the length of the store, not _twice_ the length
of the store. Bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha; fixes part of bug 2230.
- If as an authority we fail to compute the identity digest of a v3
legacy keypair, warn, and don't use a buffer-full of junk instead.
Bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha; fixes bug 3106.
- Authorities now clean their microdesc cache periodically and when
reading from disk initially, not only when adding new descriptors.
This prevents a bug where we could lose microdescriptors. Bugfix

- Remove some old code to work around even older versions of Tor that
used forked processes to handle DNS requests. Such versions of Tor
are no longer in use as servers.
o Documentation fixes:
- Correct a broken faq link in the INSTALL file. Fixes bug 2307.
- Add missing documentation for the authority-related torrc options
RephistTrackTime, BridgePassword, and V3AuthUseLegacyKey. Resolves
issue 2379.
