+Changes in version 0.4.7.13 - 2023-01-12
+ This version contains three major bugfixes, two for relays and one for
+ client being a security fix, TROVE-2022-002. We have added, for Linux, the
+ support for IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT for relays using OutboundBindAddress.
+ We strongly recommend to upgrade to this version considering the important
+ congestion control fix detailed below.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (congestion control):
+ - Avoid incrementing the congestion window when the window is not
+ fully in use. Thia prevents overshoot in cases where long periods
+ of low activity would allow our congestion window to grow, and
+ then get followed by a burst, which would cause queue overload.
+ Also improve the increment checks for RFC3742. Fixes bug 40732;
+ bugfix on 0.4.7.5-alpha.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (relay):
+ - When opening a channel because of a circuit request that did not
+ include an Ed25519 identity, record the Ed25519 identity that we
+ actually received, so that we can use the channel for other
+ circuit requests that _do_ list an Ed25519 identity. (Previously
+ we had code to record this identity, but a logic bug caused it to
+ be disabled.) Fixes bug 40563; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. Patch
+ from "cypherpunks".
+
+ o Major bugfixes (TROVE-2022-002, client):
+ - The SafeSocks option had its logic inverted for SOCKS4 and
+ SOCKS4a. It would let the unsafe SOCKS4 pass but not the safe
+ SOCKS4a one. This is TROVE-2022-002 which was reported on
+ Hackerone by "cojabo". Fixes bug 40730; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor feature (authority):
+ - Reject 0.4.6.x series at the authority level. Closes ticket 40664.
+
+ o Minor features (fallbackdir):
+ - Regenerate fallback directories generated on January 12, 2023.
+
+ o Minor features (geoip data):
+ - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as
+ retrieved on 2023/01/12.
+
+ o Minor features (relays):
+ - Set the Linux-specific IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT option on outgoing
+ sockets, allowing relays using OutboundBindAddress to make more
+ outgoing connections than ephemeral ports, as long as they are to
+ separate destinations. Related to issue 40597; patch by Alex
+ Xu (Hello71).
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (relay, metrics):
+ - Fix typo in a congestion control label on the MetricsPort. Fixes
+ bug 40727; bugfix on 0.4.7.12.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (sandbox, authority):
+ - With the sandbox enabled, allow to write "my-consensus-
+ {ns|microdesc}" and to rename them as well. Fixes bug 40729;
+ bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Code simplifications and refactoring:
+ - Rely on actual error returned by the kernel when choosing what
+ resource exhaustion to log. Fixes issue 40613; Fix
+ on tor-0.4.6.1-alpha.
+
