Changes in version 0.2.9.17 - 2018-09-10
Tor 0.2.9.17 backports numerous bugfixes from later versions of Tor.

o Minor features (compatibility, backport from 0.3.4.8):
- Tell OpenSSL to maintain backward compatibility with previous
RSA1024/DH1024 users in Tor. With OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre6, these
ciphers are disabled by default. Closes ticket 27344.

o Minor features (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.4.7-rc):
- Enable macOS builds in our Travis CI configuration. Closes
ticket 24629.
- Install libcap-dev and libseccomp2-dev so these optional
dependencies get tested on Travis CI. Closes ticket 26560.
- Run asciidoc during Travis CI. Implements ticket 27087.
- Use ccache in our Travis CI configuration. Closes ticket 26952.

o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the August 7 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 27089.

o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.4.6-rc):
- When compiling with --enable-openbsd-malloc or --enable-tcmalloc,
tell the compiler not to include the system malloc implementation.
Fixes bug 20424; bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc.

o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.4.7-rc):
- Silence a spurious compiler warning on the GetAdaptersAddresses
function pointer cast. This issue is already fixed by 26481 in
0.3.5 and later, by removing the lookup and cast. Fixes bug 27465;
bugfix on 0.2.3.11-alpha.
- Stop calling SetProcessDEPPolicy() on 64-bit Windows. It is not
supported, and always fails. Some compilers warn about the
function pointer cast on 64-bit Windows. Fixes bug 27461; bugfix
on 0.2.2.23-alpha.

o Minor bugfixes (compilation, windows, backport from 0.3.4.7-rc):
- Don't link or search for pthreads when building for Windows, even
if we are using build environment (like mingw) that provides a
pthreads library. Fixes bug 27081; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.

o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.4.6-rc):
- Skip a pair of unreliable key generation tests on Windows, until
the underlying issue in bug 26076 is resolved. Fixes bug 26830 and
bug 26853; bugfix on 0.2.7.3-rc and 0.3.2.1-alpha respectively.

o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.4.7-rc):
- Pass the module flags to distcheck configure, and log the flags
before running configure. (Backported to 0.2.9 and later as a
precaution.) Fixes bug 27088; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.

o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.4.8):
- When a Travis build fails, and showing a log fails, keep trying to
show the other logs. Fixes bug 27453; bugfix on 0.3.4.7-rc.
- When we use echo in Travis, don't pass a --flag as the first
argument. Fixes bug 27418; bugfix on 0.3.4.7-rc.

o Minor bugfixes (directory authority, backport from 0.3.4.6-rc):
- When voting for recommended versions, make sure that all of the
versions are well-formed and parsable. Fixes bug 26485; bugfix
on 0.1.1.6-alpha.

o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.4.7-rc):
- Fix a bug in out sandboxing rules for the openat() syscall.
Previously, no openat() call would be permitted, which would break
filesystem operations on recent glibc versions. Fixes bug 25440;
bugfix on 0.2.9.15. Diagnosis and patch from Daniel Pinto.

o Minor bugfixes (onion services, backport from 0.3.4.8):
- Silence a spurious compiler warning in
rend_client_send_introduction(). Fixes bug 27463; bugfix
on 0.1.1.2-alpha.

o Minor bugfixes (single onion services, Tor2web, backport from 0.3.4.6-rc):
- Log a protocol warning when single onion services or Tor2web clients
fail to authenticate direct connections to relays.
Fixes bug 26924; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.

o Minor bugfixes (testing, backport from 0.3.4.6-rc):
- Disable core dumps in test_bt.sh, to avoid failures in "make
distcheck". Fixes bug 26787; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha.

o Minor bugfixes (testing, chutney, backport from 0.3.4.8):
- Before running make test-network-all, delete old logs and test
result files, to avoid spurious failures. Fixes bug 27295; bugfix
on 0.2.7.3-rc.

o Minor bugfixes (testing, openssl compatibility, backport from 0.3.4.7-rc):
- Our "tortls/cert_matches_key" unit test no longer relies on
OpenSSL internals. Previously, it relied on unsupported OpenSSL
behavior in a way that caused it to crash with OpenSSL 1.0.2p.
Fixes bug 27226; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.

o Minor bugfixes (Windows, compilation, backport from 0.3.4.7-rc):
- Silence a compilation warning on MSVC 2017 and clang-cl. Fixes bug
27185; bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha.


Changes in version 0.2.9.16 - 2018-07-13

CVE-2011-2768 issue even if the clients haven't upgraded yet.
- Bridges now refuse CREATE or CREATE_FAST cells on OR connections
that they initiated. Relays could distinguish incoming bridge
that they initiated. Relays could distinguish incoming bridge
connections from client connections, creating another avenue for
enumerating bridges. Fixes CVE-2011-2769. Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
