Hi, all! There's a new Tor release candidate! Because it's not a stable release yet, you should only run it if you're ready to find bugs and report them on trac.torproject.org.
The source code is available from the usual place on https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html; if you build Tor from source, why not give it a try? And if you don't build Tor from source, packages should be ready over the coming days, with a Tor Browser alpha release likely by some time next month. Here's what's new: Changes in version 0.3.4.6-rc - 2018-08-06 Tor 0.3.4.6-rc fixes several small compilation, portability, and correctness issues in previous versions of Tor. This version is a release candidate: if no serious bugs are found, we expect that the stable 0.3.4 release will be (almost) the same as this release. o Major bugfixes (event scheduler): - When we enable a periodic event, schedule it in the event loop rather than running it immediately. Previously, we would re-run periodic events immediately in the middle of (for example) changing our options, with unpredictable effects. Fixes bug 27003; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. o Minor features (compilation): - When building Tor, prefer to use Python 3 over Python 2, and more recent (contemplated) versions over older ones. Closes ticket 26372. o Minor features (geoip): - Update geoip and geoip6 to the July 3 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database. Closes ticket 26674. o Minor features (Rust, portability): - Rust cross-compilation is now supported. Closes ticket 25895. o Minor bugfixes (compilation): - Fix a compilation warning on some versions of GCC when building code that calls routerinfo_get_my_routerinfo() twice, assuming that the second call will succeed if the first one did. Fixes bug 26269; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha. o Minor bugfixes (controller): - Report the port correctly when a port is configured to bind to "auto". Fixes bug 26568; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. - Parse the "HSADDRESS=" parameter in HSPOST commands properly. Previously, it was misparsed and ignored. Fixes bug 26523; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. Patch by "akwizgran". o Minor bugfixes (correctness, flow control): - Upon receiving a stream-level SENDME cell, verify that our window has not grown too large. Fixes bug 26214; bugfix on svn r54 (pre-0.0.1) o Minor bugfixes (memory, correctness): - Fix a number of small memory leaks identified by coverity. Fixes bug 26467; bugfix on numerous Tor versions. o Minor bugfixes (portability): - Avoid a compilation error in test_bwmgt.c on Solaris 10. Fixes bug 26994; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. o Minor bugfixes (testing, compatibility): - When running the ntor_ref.py and hs_ntor_ref.py tests, make sure only to pass strings (rather than "bytes" objects) to the Python subprocess module. Python 3 on Windows seems to require this. Fixes bug 26535; bugfix on 0.2.5.5-alpha (for ntor_ref.py) and 0.3.1.1-alpha (for hs_ntor_ref.py). -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
