This would make us do testing circuits "even when cbt is disabled by
consensus, or when we're a directory authority, or when we've failed
to write cbt history to our state file lately." (Roger's words.)
This is a fix for 9671 and an improvement in our fix for 5049.
The original misbehavior was in 0.2.2.14-alpha; the incomplete
fix was in 0.2.3.17-beta.
The spec requires them to do so, and not doing so creates a situation
where they can't send-test because relays won't extend to them because
of the other part of bug 9546.
Fixes bug 9546; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha.

Relays previously, when initiating a connection, would only send a
NETINFO after sending an AUTHENTICATE. But bridges, when receiving a
connection, would never send AUTH_CHALLENGE. So relays wouldn't
AUTHENTICATE, and wouldn't NETINFO, and then bridges would be
surprised to be receiving CREATE cells on a non-open circuit.
Fixes bug 9546.
Fortunately, later checks mean that uninitialized data can't get sent
to the network by this bug. Unfortunately, reading uninitialized heap
*can* (in some cases, with some allocators) cause a crash if you get
unlucky and go off the end of a page.
Found by asn. Bugfix on 0.2.4.1-alpha.
When we moved channel_matches_target_addr_for_extend() into a separate
function, its sense was inverted from what one might expect, and we
didn't have a ! in one place where we should have.

Fix a bug in the voting algorithm that could yield incorrect results
when a non-naming authority declared too many flags. Fixes bug 9200;
bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.

This implements "algorithm 1" from my discussion of bug #9072: on OOM,
find the circuits with the longest queues, and kill them. It's also a
fix for #9063 -- without the side-effects of bug #9072.
The memory bounds aren't perfect here, and you need to be sure to
allow some slack for the rest of Tor's usage.
This isn't a perfect fix; the rest of the solutions I describe on
codeable.
doc/TODO and doc/spec/README were placeholders to tell people where to
look for the real TODO and README stuff -- we replaced them years ago,
though.
authority-policy, v3-authority-howto, and torel-design.txt belong in
torspec. I'm putting them in attic there since I think they may be in
large part obsolete, but someone can rescue them if they're not.
translations.txt is outdated, and refers to lots of programs other
than Tor. We have much better translation resources on the website
now.
tor-win32-mingw-creation.txt is pending review of a revised version
for 0.2.5 (see ticket #4520), but there's no reason to ship this one
while we're waiting for an accurate version.
the tor-rpm-creation.txt isn't obsolete AFAIK, but it belongs in
doc/contrib if anywhere.
Resolves bug #8965.
