Changes in version 0.2.8.6 - 2016-08-02
Tor 0.2.8.6 is the first stable version of the Tor 0.2.8 series.
The Tor 0.2.8 series improves client bootstrapping performance,
completes the authority-side implementation of improved identity
keys for relays, and includes numerous bugfixes and performance
improvements throughout the program. This release continues to
improve the coverage of Tor's test suite. For a full list of
changes since Tor 0.2.7, see the ReleaseNotes file.
Changes since 0.2.8.5-rc:
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the July 6 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Fix a compilation warning in the unit tests on systems where char
is signed. Fixes bug 19682; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (fallback directories):
- Remove a fallback that was on the hardcoded list, then opted-out.
Fixes bug 19782; update to fallback list from 0.2.8.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox):
- Allow more syscalls when running with "Sandbox 1" enabled:
sysinfo, getsockopt(SO_SNDBUF), and setsockopt(SO_SNDBUFFORCE). On
some systems, these are required for Tor to start. Fixes bug
18397; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha. Patch from Daniel Pinto.
- Allow IPPROTO_UDP datagram sockets when running with "Sandbox 1",
so that get_interface_address6_via_udp_socket_hack() can work.
Fixes bug 19660; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
