Hi!
There's a new release candidate available for download at the usual
place on https://dist.torproject.org. The version is 0.4.6.4-rc.
This is probably the last release candidate before 0.4.6.x is stable,
so please test it if you can!
Official announcements will follow after the website updates. Here's
the changelog:
Changes in version 0.4.6.4-rc - 2021-05-28
Tor 0.4.6.4-rc fixes a few bugs from previous releases. This, we hope,
the final release candidate in its series: unless major new issues are
found, the next release will be stable.
o Minor features (compatibility):
- Remove an assertion function related to TLS renegotiation. It was
used nowhere outside the unit tests, and it was breaking
compilation with recent alpha releases of OpenSSL 3.0.0. Closes
ticket 40399.
o Minor bugfixes (consensus handling):
- Avoid a set of bugs that could be caused by inconsistently
preferring an out-of-date consensus stored in a stale directory
cache over a more recent one stored on disk as the latest
consensus. Fixes bug 40375; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (control, sandbox):
- Allow the control command SAVECONF to succeed when the seccomp
sandbox is enabled, and make SAVECONF keep only one backup file to
simplify implementation. Previously SAVECONF allowed a large
number of backup files, which made it incompatible with the
sandbox. Fixes bug 40317; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha. Patch by
Daniel Pinto.
o Minor bugfixes (metrics port):
- Fix a bug that made tor try to re-bind() on an already open
MetricsPort every 60 seconds. Fixes bug 40370; bugfix
on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
o Removed features:
- Remove unneeded code for parsing private keys in directory
documents. This code was only used for client authentication in v2
onion services, which are now unsupported. Closes ticket 40374.
