Changes so far in 0.0.9:
pre1:
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.
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.
Changes in version 0.0.8 - 2004-08-25
o Bugfixes:
- Made our unit tests compile again on OpenBSD 3.5, and tor
