Changes in version 0.2.5.2 - 2013-01-??
ALSO IN 0.2.4.18-rc
o Major bugfixes:
- Do not apply connection_consider_empty_read/write_buckets to
non-rate-limited connections.
(This was #9731.)
o Documentation:
- Add anchors to the manpage so we can link to the documentation for
specific options. Resolves ticket 9866.
o Documentation fixes:
- Clarify the usage and risks of ContactInfo. Resolves ticket 9854.
o Documentation:
- Replace remaining references to DirServer in man page and
log entries. Resolves ticket 10124.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Fix an assertion failure that would occur when disabling the
ORPort setting on a running Tor process while accounting was
enabled. Fixes bug 6979; bugfix on 0.2.2.18-alpha.
o Minor features:
- Improve the circuit queue out-of-memory handler. Previously, when
we ran low on memory, we'd close whichever circuits had the most
queued cells. Now, we close those that have the *oldest* queued
cells, on the theory that those are most responsible for us
running low on memory. Based on analysis from a forthcoming paper
by Jansen, Tschorsch, Johnson, and Scheuermann. Fixes bug 9093.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Correctly log long IPv6 exit policy, instead of truncating them
or reporting an error. Fixes bug 9596; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Fix a small memory leak on exit. (We weren't freeing directory
authority certificate download statuses.) Fixes bug 9644; bugfix
on 0.2.4.13-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (performance, fingerprinting):
- Our default TLS ecdhe groups were backwards: we meant to be using
P224 for relays (for performance win) and P256 for bridges (since
it is more common in the wild). Instead we had it backwards. After
reconsideration, we decided that the default should be P256 on all
hosts, since its security is probably better, and since P224 is
reportedly used quite little in the wild. Found by "skruffy" on
IRC. Fix for bug 9780; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes:
- When closing a channel that has already been open, do not close
pending circuits that were waiting to connect to the same relay.
Fixes bug 9880; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha. Thanks to skruffy for
finding this bug. (Bug was merged to 0.2.4 branch but not released
in any 0.2.4 version)
o Minor bugfixes:
- When examining list of network interfaces to find our address, do
not consider non-running or disabled network interfaces. Fixes bug
9904; bugfix on 0.2.3.11-alpha. Patch from "hantwister".
o Minor features:
- Generate bootstrapping status update events correctly for fetching
microdescriptors. Fixes bug 9927.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Avoid an off-by-one error when checking buffer boundaries when
formatting the exit status of a pluggable transport helper.
This is probably not an exploitable bug, but better safe than
sorry. Fixes bug 9928; bugfix on 0.2.3.18-rc. Bug found by
Pedro Ribeiro.
o Minor bugfixes:
- If the guard we choose first doesn't answer, we would try the
second guard, but once we connected to the second guard we would
abandon it and retry the first one, slowing down bootstrapping.
The fix is to treat all our initially chosen guards as acceptable
to use. Fixes bug 9946; bugfix on 0.1.1.11-alpha.
o Major bugfixes:
- Stop trying to fetch all our directory information from our first
guard. Discovered while fixing bug 9946; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
o Minor features:
- Update to the October 2 2013 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.

sources. Fixes bug 10402; works around behavior introduced in
OpenSSL 1.0.0. Diagnosis and investigation thanks to "coderman"
and "rl1987".
o Minor bugfixes:
- Avoid a crash bug when starting with a corrupted microdescriptor
cache file. Fix for bug 10406; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes:
- If we fail to dump a previously cached microdescriptor to disk, avoid
freeing duplicate data later on. Fix for bug 10423; bugfix on
0.2.4.13-alpha. Spotted by "bobnomnom".
o Major bugfixes:
- Fix assertion failure when AutomapHostsOnResolve yields an IPv6
address. Fixes bug 10465; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
- Avoid launching spurious extra circuits when a stream is pending.
This fixes a bug where any circuit that _wasn't_ unusable for new
streams would be treated as if it were, causing extra circuits to
be launched. Fixes bug 10456; bugfix on 0.2.4.12-alpha.

- Fix assertion failure when AutomapHostsOnResolve yields an IPv6
address. Fixes bug 10465; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (new since 0.2.5.1-alpha, also in 0.2.4.18-rc):
- No longer stop reading or writing on cpuworker connections when
our rate limiting buckets go empty. Now we should handle circuit
handshake requests more promptly. Resolves bug 9731.
- Stop trying to bootstrap all our directory information from
only our first guard. Discovered while fixing bug 9946; bugfix
