It fixes a major bug on fast exit relays, as well as a variety<br /> of more minor bugs.</p> <p>This is a release candidate! That means that we don't know of any<br /> remaining show-stopping bugs, and this will become the new stable if<br /> there are no problems. Please test it, and tell us about any problems<br /> that you find.</p> <p><a href="https://www.torproject.org/download" title="https://www.torproject.org/download" rel="nofollow">https://www.torproject.org/download</a></p> <p>Changes in version 0.2.1.15-rc - 2009-05-25</p> <ul><strong>Major bugfixes (on 0.2.0.x):</strong></p> <li>Fix a timing-dependent, allocator-dependent, DNS-related crash bug that would occur on some exit nodes when DNS failures and timeouts occurred in certain patterns. Fix for bug 957.</li> </ul> <ul><strong>Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.0.x):</strong></p> <li>Actually return -1 in the error case for read_bandwidth_usage().<br /> Harmless bug, since we currently don't care about the return value<br /> anywhere. Bugfix on 0.2.0.9-alpha.</li> <li>Provide a more useful log message if bug 977 (related to buffer<br /> freelists) ever reappears, and do not crash right away.</li> <li>Fix an assertion failure on 64-bit platforms when we allocated<br /> memory right up to the end of a memarea, then realigned the memory<br /> one step beyond the end. Fixes a possible cause of bug 930.</li> <li>Protect the count of open sockets with a mutex, so we can't<br /> corrupt it when two threads are closing or opening sockets at once.<br /> Fix for bug 939. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.</li> <li>Don't allow a bridge to publish its router descriptor to a<br /> non-bridge directory authority. Fixes part of bug 932.</li> <li>When we change to or from being a bridge, reset our counts of<br /> client usage by country. Fixes bug 932.</li> <li>Fix a bug that made stream bandwidth get misreported to the<br /> controller.</li> <li>Stop using malloc_usable_size() to use more area than we had<br /> actually allocated: it was safe, but made valgrind really unhappy.</li> <li>Fix a memory leak when v3 directory authorities load their keys<br /> and cert from disk. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.</li> </ul> <ul><strong>Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.1.x):</strong></p> <li>Fix use of freed memory when deciding to mark a non-addable<br /> descriptor as never-downloadable. Bugfix on 0.2.1.9-alpha.</li> </ul> <p>The original release announcement can be found at <a href="http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/May-2009/msg00133.html" title="http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/May-2009/msg00133.html" rel="nofollow">http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/May-2009/msg00133.html</a></p> http://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-02115rc-released#comments bug fixes malloc fixes release candidate Sun, 31 May 2009 18:04:49 -0700 phobos 134 at http://blog.torproject.org
