Tor’s Bug Smash Fund: Help Tor smash all the bugs!

Say hello to our Bug Smash Fund.

New release candidate: Tor 0.4.1.4-rc

There's a new release candidate available for download. If you build Tor from source, you can download the source code for 0.4.1.4-rc from the usual place on the website. Packages should be available over the coming weeks, with a new alpha Tor Browser release likely in the next month or so.

Remember, this is just a release candidate: you should only run this if you'd like to find and report bugs.

Tor 0.4.1.4-rc fixes a few bugs from previous versions of Tor, and updates to a new list of fallback directories. If no new bugs are found, the next release in the 0.4.1.x series should be stable.

Changes in version 0.4.1.4-rc - 2019-07-25

Major bugfixes (circuit build, guard):
- When considering upgrading circuits from "waiting for guard" to "open", always ignore circuits that are marked for close. Otherwise, we can end up in the situation where a subsystem is notified that a closing circuit has just opened, leading to undesirable behavior. Fixes bug 30871; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
Minor features (continuous integration):
- Our Travis configuration now uses Chutney to run some network integration tests automatically. Closes ticket 29280.
