Changes in version 0.2.7.2-alpha - 2015-07-??
o Major features:
- Add support for offline encrypted ed25519 master keys. To use this
feature on your tor relay, run "tor --keygen" to make a new master
key (or to make a new signing key if you already have a master
key). Closes ticket 13642.
o Major feature (Hidden Service):
- Add the torrc option HiddenServiceNumIntroductionPoints for an
operatory to specify a fix amount of introduction points. Maximum
value is 10 and default is 3. Closes ticket 4862.
- Remove the introduction point adaptative algorithm which is
leaking popularity by changing the amount of introduction points
depending on the amount of traffic the HS sees. With this, we
stick to only 3 introduction points. Closes ticket 4862.
o Major features (Ed25519 identity keys, Prop220):
- All relays now maintain a stronger identity key, using the Ed25519
elliptic curve signature format. This master key is designed so
that it can be kept offline. Relays also generate an online
signing key, and a set of other Ed25519 keys and certificates.
These are all automatically regenerated and rotated as needed.
- Directory authorities now vote on Ed25519 identity keys along with
RSA1024 keys.
- Directory authorities track which Ed25519 identity keys have been
used with which RSA1024 identity keys, and do not allow them to
vary freely.
- Microdescriptors now include ed25519 identity keys.
o Major features (onion key cross-certification):
- Relay descriptors now include signatures of the identity keys
using the TAP and ntor onion keys. This allows relays to prove
ownership of their own onion keys. Because of this change,
microdescriptors no longer need to include RSA identity keys.
Implements proposal 228; closes ticket 12499.
o Major bugfixes (client-side privacy, also in 0.2.6.9):
- Properly separate out each SOCKSPort when applying stream
isolation. The error occurred because each port's session group was
being overwritten by a default value when the listener connection
was initialized. Fixes bug 16247; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha. Patch
by "jojelino".
o Minor feature (directory authorities, security, also in 0.2.6.9):
- The HSDir flag given by authorities now requires the Stable flag.
For the current network, this results in going from 2887 to 2806
HSDirs. Also, it makes it harder for an attacker to launch a sybil
attack by raising the effort for a relay to become Stable which
takes at the very least 7 days to do so and by keeping the 96
hours uptime requirement for HSDir. Implements ticket 8243.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, also in 0.2.6.9):
- Build with --enable-systemd correctly when libsystemd is
installed, but systemd is not. Fixes bug 16164; bugfix on
0.2.6.3-alpha. Patch from Peter Palfrader.
o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox, also in 0.2.6.9):
- Fix sandboxing to work when running as a relaymby renaming of
secret_id_key, and allowing the eventfd2 and futex syscalls. Fixes
bug 16244; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. Patch by Peter Palfrader.
- Allow systemd connections to work with the Linux seccomp2 sandbox
code. Fixes bug 16212; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha. Patch by
Peter Palfrader.
o Minor bugfixes (tests, also in 0.2.6.9):
- Fix a crash in the unit tests when built with MSVC2013. Fixes bug

of a setback. First-round fix for bug 16381; bugfix
on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (open file limit):
- The max open file limit wasn't checked before calling
tor_accept_socket_nonblocking() which made tor go beyond the open
file limit set previously. With this fix, before opening a new
socket, tor validates the open file limit just before and if the
max has been reached, return EMFILE. Fixes bug 16288; bugfix
on 0.1.1.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (stability, also in 0.2.6.10):
- Stop crashing with an assertion failure when parsing certain kinds
of malformed or truncated microdescriptors. Fixes bug 16400;

o Minor feature (performance):
- Improve the runtime speed of Ed25519 operations by using the
public-domain ed25519-donna by Andrew M. ("floodyberry").
Implements ticket 16467.
- Improve the runtime speed of the ntor handshake by using an
optimized curve25519 basepoint scalarmult implementation from the
public-domain ed25519-donna by Andrew M. ("floodyberry"), based on
ideas by Adam Langley. Implements ticket 9663.
o Minor features (client):
- Relax the validation done to hostnames in SOCKS5 requests, and
allow '_' to cope with domains observed in the wild that are
serving non-RFC compliant records. Resolves ticket 16430.
o Minor features (client, unix sockets):
- Add GroupWritable and WorldWritable options to unix-socket based
SocksPort and ControlPort options. These options apply to a single
socket, and override {Control,Socks}SocketsGroupWritable. Closes
ticket 15220.
o Minor Features (crypto, testing):
- Now that OpenSSL has its own scrypt implementation, add an unit
test that checks for interoperability between libscrypt_scrypt()
and OpenSSL's EVP_PBE_scrypt() so that we could not use libscrypt
and rely on EVP_PBE_scrypt() whenever possible. Resolves
ticket 16189.
o Minor features (directory authorities):
- Directory authorities no longer vote against the "Fast", "Stable",
and "HSDir" flags just because they were going to vote against
"Running": if the consensus turns out to be that the router was
running, then the authority's vote should count. Patch from Peter
Retzlaff; closes issue 8712.
o Minor features (geoip, also in 0.2.6.10):
- Update geoip to the June 3 2015 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database.
- Update geoip6 to the June 3 2015 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database.
o Minor features (hidden service):
- Add the new options "HiddenServiceMaxStreams" and
"HiddenServiceMaxStreamsCloseCircuit" to allow hidden services to
limit the maximum number of simultaneous streams per circuit, and
optionally tear down the circuit when the limit is exceeded. Part
of ticket 16052.
o Minor features (portability):
- Use C99 variadic macros when the compiler is not GCC. This avoids
failing compilations on MSVC, and fixes a log-file-based race
condition in our old workarounds. Original patch from Gisle Vanem.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, also in 0.2.6.9):
- Build with --enable-systemd correctly when libsystemd is
installed, but systemd is not. Fixes bug 16164; bugfix on
0.2.6.3-alpha. Patch from Peter Palfrader.
o Minor bugfixes (controller):
- Add the descriptor ID in each HS_DESC control event. It was
missing but specified in control-spec.txt. Fixes bug 15881; bugfix
on 0.2.5.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (crypto error-handling, also in 0.2.6.10):
- Check for failures from crypto_early_init, and refuse to continue.

its own PRNG. Fixes bug 16360; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha, introduced
when implementing ticket 4900. Patch by "teor".
o Minor bugfixes (Hidden service):
- When cannibalizing a circuit for an introduction point, always
extend to the chosen exit node creating a 4 hop circuit instead of
using the current circuit exit node which resulted in changing the
original intro point choice. This resulted in the hidden service
skipping excluded nodes like for instance reconnecting to an
expired intro point. Fixes bug 16260; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc. This
is particularly important for the introduction point retry
behavior (see bug 8239) since cannibalization is allowed, which is
desired, so it's important to pin the chosen exit point.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden service):
- Fix a crash when reloading configuration while at least one
configured and one ephemeral hidden service exists. Fixes bug
16060; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden services):
- Avoid crashing with a double-free bug when we create an ephemeral
hidden service but adding it fails for some reason. Fixes bug
16228; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox, also in 0.2.6.10):
- Allow pipe() and pipe2() syscalls in the seccomp2 sandbox: we need
these when eventfd2() support is missing. Fixes bug 16363; bugfix
on 0.2.6.3-alpha. Patch from "teor".
o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox, also in 0.2.6.9):
- Fix sandboxing to work when running as a relaymby renaming of
secret_id_key, and allowing the eventfd2 and futex syscalls. Fixes
bug 16244; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. Patch by Peter Palfrader.
- Allow systemd connections to work with the Linux seccomp2 sandbox
code. Fixes bug 16212; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha. Patch by
Peter Palfrader.
o Minor bugfixes (systemd):
- Fix an accidental formatting error that broke the systemd
configuration file. Fixes bug 16152; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (tests):
- Use the configured Python executable when running test-stem-full.
Fixes bug 16470; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (tests, also in 0.2.6.9):
- Fix a crash in the unit tests when built with MSVC2013. Fixes bug
16030; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha. Patch from "NewEraCracker".
o Minor enhancements (correctness, testing):
- Document use of coverity, clang static analyzer, and clang dynamic
undefined behavior and address sanitizers in doc/HACKING. Add
clang dynamic sanitizer blacklist in
contrib/clang/sanitizer_blacklist.txt to exempt known undefined
behavior. Include detailed usage instructions in the blacklist.
Patch by "teor". Closes ticket 15817.
o Minor fixes (sandbox, files):
- Use the sandbox in tor_open_cloexec whether or not O_CLOEXEC is
defined. Patch by "teor". Fixes bug 16515; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
o Minor fixes (threads, comments):
- Always initialise return value in compute_desc_id in rendcommon.c
Patch by "teor". Fixes part of bug 16115; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
- Check for NULL values in getinfo_helper_onions Patch by "teor".
Fixes part of bug 16115; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
- Remove undefined directive-in-macro in test_util_writepid clang
3.7 complains that using a preprocessor directive inside a macro
invocation in test_util_writepid in test_util.c is undefined.
Patch by "teor". Fixes part of bug 16115; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Define WINVER and _WIN32_WINNT centrally, in orconfig.h, in order
to ensure they remain consistent and visible everywhere.
- Remove some vestigial workarounds for the MSVC6 compiler. We
haven't supported that in ages.
- The link authentication code has been refactored for better
testability and reliability. It now uses code generated with the
"trunnel" binary encoding generator, to reduce the risk of bugs
due to programmer error. Done as part of ticket 12498.
o Removed features:
- Remove the HidServDirectoryV2 option. Now all relays offer to
store hidden service descriptors. Related to 16543.
- Remove the VoteOnHidServDirectoriesV2 option, since all
authorities have long set it to 1. Closes ticket 16543.
- Tor no longer supports copies of OpenSSL that are missing support
for Elliptic Curve Cryptography. In particular support for at
least one of P256 or P224 is now required, with manual
configuration needed if only P224 is available. Resolves
ticket 16140.
- Tor no longer supports versions of OpenSSL before 1.0. (If you are
on an operating system that has not upgraded to OpenSSL 1.0 or
later, and you compile Tor from source, you will need to install a
more recent OpenSSL to link Tor against.) Resolves ticket 16034.
o Testing:
- The link authentication protocol code now has extensive tests.
- The relay descriptor signature testing code now has
extensive tests.
- The test_workqueue program now runs faster, and is enabled by
default as a part of "make check".
o Features (control protocl):
- Support network-liveness GETINFO key and NETWORK_LIVENESS events
in the control protocol. Resolves ticket 15358.
