Changes in version 0.2.3.6-alpha - 2011-10-26
o Major features:
- Implement a new handshake protocol (v3) for authenticating Tors to
each other over TLS. It should be more resistant to fingerprinting

- Allow variable-length padding cells to disguise the length of
Tor's TLS records. Implements part of proposal 184.
o Privacy/anonymity fixes (clients):
- Clients and bridges no longer send TLS certificate chains on
outgoing OR connections. Previously, each client or bridge
would use the same cert chain for all outgoing OR connections
for up to 24 hours, which allowed any relay that the client or
bridge contacted to determine which entry guards it is using.
Fixes CVE-2011-2768. Bugfix on 0.0.9pre5; found by "frosty_un".
- If a relay receives a CREATE_FAST cell on a TLS connection, it
no longer considers that connection as suitable for satisfying a
circuit EXTEND request. Now relays can protect clients from the
CVE-2011-2768 issue even if the clients haven't upgraded yet.
- Directory authorities no longer assign the Guard flag to relays
that haven't upgraded to the above "refuse EXTEND requests
to client connections" fix. Now directory authorities can
protect clients from the CVE-2011-2768 issue even if neither
the clients nor the relays have upgraded yet. There's a new
"GiveGuardFlagTo_CVE_2011_2768_VulnerableRelays" config option
to let us transition smoothly, else tomorrow there would be no
guard relays.
o Major bugfixes (hidden services):
- Improve hidden service robustness: when an attempt to connect to
a hidden service ends, be willing to refetch its hidden service

found by Sebastian Hahn. Bugfix on 0.2.1.13-alpha; fixes bug 4212.
o Major bugfixes (other):
- Bridges now refuse CREATE or CREATE_FAST cells on OR connections
that they initiated. Relays could distinguish incoming bridge
connections from client connections, creating another avenue for
enumerating bridges. Fixes CVE-2011-2769. Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
Found by "frosty_un".
- Don't update the AccountingSoftLimitHitAt state file entry whenever
tor gets started. This prevents a wrong average bandwidth
estimate, which would cause relays to always start a new accounting
