Clients now send the correct address for their chosen rendezvous point when trying to access a hidden service. They used to send the wrong address, which would still work some of the time because they also sent the identity digest of the rendezvous point, and if the hidden service happened to try connecting to the rendezvous point from a relay that already had a connection open to it, the relay would reuse that connection. Now connections to hidden services should be more robust and faster. Also, this bug meant that clients were leaking to the hidden service whether they were on a little-endian (common) or big-endian (rare) system, which for some users might have reduced their anonymity. Fixes bug 13151; bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
Tor protects your privacy on the internet by hiding the connection
between your Internet address and the services you use. We believe Tor
is reasonably secure, but please ensure you read the instructions and
configure it properly.
