that it can be kept offline. Relays also generate an online
signing key, and a set of other Ed25519 keys and certificates.
These are all automatically regenerated and rotated as needed.

- Microdescriptors now include ed25519 identity keys. Implements
part of ticket 12498.
- Add support for offline encrypted ed25519 master keys. To use this
feature on your tor relay, run "tor --keygen" to make a new master
key (or to make a new signing key if you already have a master
key). Closes ticket 13642.
 
o Major features (Hidden services):
- Add the torrc option HiddenServiceNumIntroductionPoints for an
operator to specify a fix amount of introduction points. Maximum
value is 10 and default is 3. Closes ticket 4862.
- Add the torrc option HiddenServiceNumIntroductionPoints, to
specify a fixed amount of introduction points. Its maximum value
is 10 and default is 3. Closes ticket 4862.
- Remove the adaptive algorithm for chosing the number of
introduction points, which tended to leak popularity information
by changing the amount of introduction points depending on the
amount of traffic the HS sees. Closes ticket 4862.
 
o Major features (onion key cross-certification):
- Relay descriptors now include signatures of the identity keys
using the TAP and ntor onion keys. This allows relays to prove
ownership of their own onion keys. Because of this change,
microdescriptors no longer need to include RSA identity keys.
Implements proposal 228; closes ticket 12499.
- Relay descriptors now include signatures of their own identity
keys, made using the TAP and ntor onion keys. These signatures
allow relays to prove ownership of their own onion keys. Because
of this change, microdescriptors will no longer need to include
RSA identity keys. Implements proposal 228; closes ticket 12499.
o Major features (performance):
- Improve the runtime speed of Ed25519 operations by using the
public-domain ed25519-donna by Andrew M. ("floodyberry").
Implements ticket 16467.
- Improve the runtime speed of the ntor handshake by using an
optimized curve25519 basepoint scalarmult implementation from the
public-domain ed25519-donna by Andrew M. ("floodyberry"), based on
ideas by Adam Langley. Implements ticket 9663.

of a setback. First-round fix for bug 16381; bugfix
on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
 
o Major bugfixes (hidden services):
- When cannibalizing a circuit for an introduction point, always
extend to the chosen exit node (creating a 4 hop circuit).
Previously Tor would use the current circuit exit node, which
changed the original choice of introduction point, and could cause
the hidden service to skip excluded introduction points or
reconnect to a skipped introduction point. Fixes bug 16260; bugfix
on 0.1.0.1-rc.
o Major bugfixes (open file limit):
- The max open file limit wasn't checked before calling
tor_accept_socket_nonblocking() which made tor go beyond the open
file limit set previously. With this fix, before opening a new
socket, tor validates the open file limit just before and if the
max has been reached, return EMFILE. Fixes bug 16288; bugfix
on 0.1.1.1-alpha.
- The open file limit wasn't checked before calling
tor_accept_socket_nonblocking(), which would made Tor exceed the
limit. Now, before opening a new socket, Tor validates the open
file limit just before, and if the max has been reached, return an
error. Fixes bug 16288; bugfix on 0.1.1.1-alpha.

o Minor features (client):
- Relax the validation done to hostnames in SOCKS5 requests, and
allow '_' to cope with domains observed in the wild that are

- Relax the validation of hostnames in SOCKS5 requests, allowing the

- Add GroupWritable and WorldWritable options to unix-socket based
SocksPort and ControlPort options. These options apply to a single
socket, and override {Control,Socks}SocketsGroupWritable. Closes
ticket 15220.

when implementing ticket 4900. Patch by "teor".
 
o Minor bugfixes (hidden services):
- When cannibalizing a circuit for an introduction point, always
extend to the chosen exit node creating a 4 hop circuit instead of
using the current circuit exit node which resulted in changing the
original intro point choice. This resulted in the hidden service
skipping excluded nodes like for instance reconnecting to an
expired intro point. Fixes bug 16260; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc. This
is particularly important for the introduction point retry
behavior (see bug 8239) since cannibalization is allowed, which is
desired, so it's important to pin the chosen exit point.
