Changes in version 0.0.8 - 2004-08-25
o Port it to SunOS 5.9 / Athena
Changes in version 0.0.8rc2 - 2004-08-20
o Make it compile on cygwin again.
o When picking unverified routers, skip those with low uptime and/or
low bandwidth, depending on what properties you care about.
Changes in version 0.0.8rc1 - 2004-08-18
o Changes from 0.0.7.3:
- Bugfixes:
- Fix assert triggers: if the other side returns an address 0.0.0.0,
don't put it into the client dns cache.
- If a begin failed due to exit policy, but we believe the IP address
should have been allowed, switch that router to exitpolicy reject *:*
until we get our next directory.
- Features:
- Clients choose nodes proportional to advertised bandwidth.
- Avoid using nodes with low uptime as introduction points.
- Handle servers with dynamic IP addresses: don't replace
options->Address with the resolved one at startup, and
detect our address right before we make a routerinfo each time.
- 'FascistFirewall' option to pick dirservers and ORs on specific
ports; plus 'FirewallPorts' config option to tell FascistFirewall
which ports are open. (Defaults to 80,443)
- Be more aggressive about trying to make circuits when the network
has changed (e.g. when you unsuspend your laptop).
- Check for time skew on http headers; report date in response to
"GET /".
- If the entrynode config line has only one node, don't pick it as
an exitnode.
- Add strict{entry|exit}nodes config options. If set to 1, then
we refuse to build circuits that don't include the specified entry
or exit nodes.
- OutboundBindAddress config option, to bind to a specific
IP address for outgoing connect()s.
- End truncated log entries (e.g. directories) with "[truncated]".
o Patches to 0.0.8preX:
- Bugfixes:
- Patches to compile and run on win32 again (maybe)?
- Fix crash when looking for ~/.torrc with no $HOME set.
- Fix a race bug in the unit tests.
- Handle verified/unverified name collisions better when new
routerinfo's arrive in a directory.
- Sometimes routers were getting entered into the stats before
we'd assigned their identity_digest. Oops.
- Only pick and establish intro points after we've gotten a
directory.
- Features:
- AllowUnverifiedNodes config option to let circuits choose no-name
routers in entry,middle,exit,introduction,rendezvous positions.
Allow middle and rendezvous positions by default.
- Add a man page for tor-resolve.
Changes in version 0.0.7.3 - 2004-08-12
o Stop dnsworkers from triggering an assert failure when you
ask them to resolve the host "".
Changes in version 0.0.8pre3 - 2004-08-09
o Changes from 0.0.7.2:
- Allow multiple ORs with same nickname in routerlist -- now when
people give us one identity key for a nickname, then later
another, we don't constantly complain until the first expires.
- Remember used bandwidth (both in and out), and publish 15-minute
snapshots for the past day into our descriptor.
- You can now fetch $DIRURL/running-routers to get just the
running-routers line, not the whole descriptor list. (But
clients don't use this yet.)
- When people mistakenly use Tor as an http proxy, point them
at the tor-doc.html rather than the INSTALL.
- Remove our mostly unused -- and broken -- hex_encode()
function. Use base16_encode() instead. (Thanks to Timo Lindfors
for pointing out this bug.)
- Rotate onion keys every 12 hours, not every 2 hours, so we have
fewer problems with people using the wrong key.
- Change the default exit policy to reject the default edonkey,
kazaa, gnutella ports.
- Add replace_file() to util.[ch] to handle win32's rename().
o Changes from 0.0.8preX:
- Fix two bugs in saving onion keys to disk when rotating, so
hopefully we'll get fewer people using old onion keys.
- Fix an assert error that was making SocksPolicy not work.
- Be willing to expire routers that have an open dirport -- it's
just the authoritative dirservers we want to not forget.
- Reject tor-resolve requests for .onion addresses early, so we
don't build a whole rendezvous circuit and then fail.
- When you're warning a server that he's unverified, don't cry
wolf unpredictably.
- Fix a race condition: don't try to extend onto a connection
that's still handshaking.
- For servers in clique mode, require the conn to be open before
you'll choose it for your path.
- Fix some cosmetic bugs about duplicate mark-for-close, lack of
end relay cell, etc.
- Measure bandwidth capacity over the last 24 hours, not just 12
- Bugfix: authoritative dirservers were making and signing a new
directory for each client, rather than reusing the cached one.
Changes in version 0.0.8pre2 - 2004-08-04
o Changes from 0.0.7.2:
- Security fixes:
- Check directory signature _before_ you decide whether you're
you're running an obsolete version and should exit.
- Check directory signature _before_ you parse the running-routers
list to decide who's running or verified.
- Bugfixes and features:
- Check return value of fclose while writing to disk, so we don't
end up with broken files when servers run out of disk space.
- Log a warning if the user uses an unsafe socks variant, so people
are more likely to learn about privoxy or socat.
- Dirservers now include RFC1123-style dates in the HTTP headers,
which one day we will use to better detect clock skew.
o Changes from 0.0.8pre1:
- Make it compile without warnings again on win32.
- Log a warning if you're running an unverified server, to let you
know you might want to get it verified.
- Only pick a default nickname if you plan to be a server.
Changes in version 0.0.8pre1 - 2004-07-23
o Bugfixes:
- Made our unit tests compile again on OpenBSD 3.5, and tor
itself compile again on OpenBSD on a sparc64.
- We were neglecting milliseconds when logging on win32, so
everything appeared to happen at the beginning of each second.
- Check directory signature _before_ you decide whether you're
you're running an obsolete version and should exit.
- Check directory signature _before_ you parse the running-routers
list to decide who's running.
- Check return value of fclose while writing to disk, so we don't
end up with broken files when servers run out of disk space.

o Protocol changes:
- 'Extend' relay cell payloads now include the digest of the

list; unverified routers are listed as "$<fingerprint>".
- We now use hash-of-identity-key in most places rather than
nickname or addr:port, for improved security/flexibility.
- AllowUnverifiedNodes config option to let circuits choose no-name
routers in entry,middle,exit,introduction,rendezvous positions.
Allow middle and rendezvous positions by default.
- When picking unverified routers, skip those with low uptime and/or
low bandwidth, depending on what properties you care about.
- To avoid Sybil attacks, paths still use only verified servers.
But now we have a chance to play around with hybrid approaches.
- Nodes track bandwidth usage to estimate capacity (not used yet).
- ClientOnly option for nodes that never want to become servers.
- Directory caching.
- "AuthoritativeDir 1" option for the official dirservers.

should tolerate down dirservers better now.
- ORs connect-on-demand to other ORs
- If you get an extend cell to an OR you're not connected to,
connect, handshake, and forward the create cell.

it won't work anyway, since you won't know the right onion keys
to use.

- Parse tor version numbers so we can do an is-newer-than check
