Tor 0.2.2.4-alpha released

by phobos | October 12, 2009

On October 10, we released Tor version 0.2.2.4-alpha.

This release can be found at https://www.torproject.org/download/

It contains the following:
Major bugfixes:

  • Fix several more asserts in the circuit_build_times code, for
    example one that causes Tor to fail to start once we have
    accumulated 5000 build times in the state file. Bugfixes on
    0.2.2.2-alpha; fixes bug 1108.

New directory authorities:

  • Move moria1 and Tonga to alternate IP addresses.

Minor features:

  • Log SSL state transitions at debug level during handshake, and
    include SSL states in error messages. This may help debug future
    SSL handshake issues.
  • Add a new "Handshake" log domain for activities that happen
    during the TLS handshake.
  • Revert to the "June 3 2009" ip-to-country file. The September one
    seems to have removed most US IP addresses.
  • Directory authorities now reject Tor relays with versions less than
    0.1.2.14. This step cuts out four relays from the current network,
    none of which are very big.

Minor bugfixes:

  • Fix a couple of smaller issues with gathering statistics. Bugfixes
    on 0.2.2.1-alpha.
  • Fix two memory leaks in the error case of
    circuit_build_times_parse_state. Bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha.
  • Don't count one-hop circuits when we're estimating how long it
    takes circuits to build on average. Otherwise we'll set our circuit
    build timeout lower than we should. Bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha.
  • Directory authorities no longer change their opinion of, or vote on,
    whether a router is Running, unless they have themselves been
    online long enough to have some idea. Bugfix on 0.2.0.6-alpha.
    Fixes bug 1023.

Code simplifications and refactoring:

  • Revise our unit tests to use the "tinytest" framework, so we
    can run tests in their own processes, have smarter setup/teardown
    code, and so on. The unit test code has moved to its own
    subdirectory, and has been split into multiple modules.
