Changes in version 0.4.2.1-alpha - 2019-09-??
+ This is the first alpha release in the 0.4.2.x series. BLURB
+ BLURB BLURB.
+
+ o New system requirements (build system):
+ - Do not include the deprecated <sys/sysctl.h> on Linux or Windows
+ system. Closes 31673;
o Major features (developer tools):
- - Our best-practices tracker now integrates with our include-checker tool
- to keep track of the layering violations that we have not yet fixed.
- We hope to reduce this number over time to improve Tor's modularity.
- Closes ticket 31176.

+ fixed. We hope to reduce this number over time to improve Tor's
+ modularity. Closes ticket 31176.
o Major features (onion service v3, denial of service):
- - Add onion service introduction denial of service defenses. They consist of
- rate limiting client introduction at the intro point using parameters that
- can be sent by the service within the ESTABLISH_INTRO cell. If the cell
- extension for this is not used, the intro point will honor the consensus
- parameters. Closes ticket 30924.

o Major bugfixes (circuit build, guard):
- - When considering upgrading circuits from "waiting for guard" to "open",
- always ignore the ones that are mark for close. Else, we can end up in
- the situation where a subsystem is notified of that circuit opening but
- still marked for close leading to undesirable behavior. Fixes bug 30871;

o Major bugfixes (crash, android):
- - Tolerate systems (including some Android installations) where madvise
- and MADV_DONTDUMP are available at build-time, but not at run time.
- Previously, these systems would notice a failed syscall and abort.
- Fixes bug 31570; bugfix on 0.4.1.1-alpha.

+ ticket 30687.
o Minor features (best practices tracker):
- - Add a TOR_PRACTRACKER_OPTIONS variable for passing arguments
- to practracker from the environment. We may want this for
- continuous integration. Closes ticket 31309.
- - Give a warning rather than an error when a practracker exception is
- violated by a small amount; add a --list-overbroad option to
- practracker that lists exceptions that are stricter than they need to
- be, and provide an environment variable for disabling

- compile-time hardening options we have selected can be linked but
- not executed. Closes ticket 27530.
+ - Log a more useful error message when we are compiling and one of
+ the compile-time hardening options we have selected can be linked
+ but not executed. Closes ticket 27530.
o Minor features (configuration):
- The configuration code has been extended to allow splitting
configuration data across multiple objects. Previously, all
configuration data needed to be kept in a single object, which
- tended to become bloated. Closes ticket 31240.
+ tended to become bloated. Closes ticket 31240.
o Minor features (continuous integration):
- - When running CI builds on Travis, put some random data in ~/.torrc,
- to make sure no tests are dependent on default Tor configuration.

o Minor features (debugging):
- Log a nonfatal assertion failure if we encounter a configuration
- line whose command is "CLEAR" but which has a nonempty value.
- This should be impossible, according to the rules of our
- configuration line parsing. Closes ticket 31529.

+ - Our best-practices tracker now looks at headers as well as C
+ files. Closes ticket 31175.
o Minor features (git hooks):
- - Our pre-commit git hook now checks for a special file
- before running practracker, so that practracker only runs on branches
- that are based on master. Since the pre-push hook calls the pre-commit
- hook, practracker will also only run before pushes of branches based
- on master.

o Minor features (git scripts):
- - Add a "--" command-line argument, to
- separate git-push-all.sh script arguments from arguments that are passed
- through to git push. Closes ticket 31314.
- - Add a -r <remote-name> argument to git-push-all.sh, so the script can

- Add a -t <test-branch-prefix> argument to git-merge-forward.sh and
- git-push-all.sh, which makes these scripts create, merge forward, and
- push test branches. Closes ticket 31314.
- - Add a -u argument to git-merge-forward.sh, so that the script can re-use
- existing test branches after a merge failure and fix.

Closes ticket 31314.
- - Add a TOR_GIT_PUSH env var, which sets the default git push command and
- arguments for git-push-all.sh. Closes ticket 31314.
- - Add a TOR_PUSH_DELAY variable to git-push-all.sh, which makes the script
- push master and maint branches with a delay between each branch. These
- delays trigger the CI jobs in a set order, which should show the most
- likely failures first. Also make pushes atomic by default, and make
- the script pass any command-line arguments to git push.
- Closes ticket 29879.

+ maint/release/master branch in git-push-all.sh by default. Add a
+ -s argument, so git-push-all.sh can push all test branches. Closes
+ ticket 31314.
o Minor features (IPv6, logging):
- Log IPv6 addresses as well as IPv4 addresses, when describing
routerinfos, routerstatuses, and nodes. Closes ticket 21003.
o Minor features (recommended packages):
- - No longer include recommended packages in votes as detailed in proposal
- 301. The RecommendedPackages torrc option is deprecated and will no
- longer have any effect. "package" lines will still be considered when
- computing consensuses for consensus methods that include them. Fixes
- ticket 29738.

o Minor features (testing):
- - Add a script to invoke "tor --dump-config" and "tor --verify-config"
- with various configuration options, and see whether tor's resulting
- configuration or error messages are what we expect. Use it for
- integration testing of our +Option and /Option flags.

o Minor bugfixes (chutney, makefiles, documentation):
- - "make test-network-all" shows the warnings from each test-network.sh
- run on the console, so developers see new warnings early. Improve the
- documentation for this feature, and rename a Makefile variable so the
- code is self-documenting. Fixes bug 30455; bugfix on 0.3.0.4-rc.

o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- - Add more stub functions to fix compilation on Android with LTO, when
- --disable-module-dirauth is used. Previously, these compilation
- settings would make the compiler look for functions that didn't exist.

o Minor bugfixes (guards):
- - When tor is missing descriptors for some primary entry guards, make the

- - Make the subsystem init order match the subsystem module dependencies.
- Call windows process security APIs as early as possible. Init log before
- network and time, so that network and time can use logging.
- Fixes bug 31615; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.

o Minor bugfixes (v2 single onion services):
- - Always retry v2 single onion service intro and rend circuits with a
- 3-hop path. Previously, v2 single onion services used a 3-hop path
- when rend circuits were retried after a remote or delayed failure,
- but a 1-hop path for immediate retries. Fixes bug 23818;

o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Eliminate some uses of lower-level control reply abstractions,
primarily in the onion_helper functions. Closes ticket 30889.
- Extract our variable manipulation code from confparse.c to a new
lower-level typedvar.h module. Closes ticket 30864.
- - Improve documentation in circuit padding subsystem. Patch by Tobias
- Pulls. Closes ticket 31113.
- - Lower another layer of object management from confparse.c to
- a more general tool. Now typed structure members are accessible
- via an abstract type. Implements ticket 30914.

- Move our backend logic for working with configuration and state
files into a lower-level library, since in no longer depends on
any tor-specific functionality. Closes ticket 31626.
- - Numerous simplifications in configuration-handling logic:
- remove duplicated macro definitions, replace magical names
- with flags, and refactor "TestingTorNetwork" to use the
- same default-option logic as the rest of Tor.

- Replace our ad-hoc set of flags for configuration variables and
configuration variable types with fine-grained orthogonal flags
corresponding to the actual behavior we want. Closes ticket 31625.
- Rework bootstrap tracking to use the new publish-subscribe
subsystem. Closes ticket 29976.
- - Rewrite format_node_description() and router_get_verbose_nickname() to
- use strlcpy() and strlcat(). The previous implementation used memcpy()
- and pointer arithmetic, which was error-prone.
- Closes ticket 31545. This is CID 1452819.
- - Split extrainfo_dump_to_string() into smaller functions.
- Closes ticket 30956.
- - Use the ptrdiff_t type consistently for expressing variable offsets and
- pointer differences. Previously we incorrectly (but harmlessly) used
- int and sometimes off_t for these cases. Closes ticket 31532.

o Documentation:
- Include an example usage for IPv6 ORPort in our sample torrc.
Closes ticket 31320; patch from Ali Raheem.
- - Use RFC 2397 data URL scheme to embed image into tor-exit-notice.html
- so that operators would no longer have to host it themselves.
- Closes ticket 31089.
-
- o New system requirements (build system):
- - Do not include the deprecated <sys/sysctl.h> on Linux or Windows system.
