Merge commit 'tor-0.2.1.17-rc' into debian-merge

Changes in version 0.2.1.17-rc - 2009-07-07

  o Major features:

    - Clients now use the bandwidth values in the consensus, rather than

      the bandwidth values in each relay descriptor. This approach opens

      the door to more accurate bandwidth estimates once the directory

      authorities start doing active measurements. Implements more of

      proposal 141.

  o Major bugfixes:

    - When Tor clients restart after 1-5 days, they discard all their

      cached descriptors as too old, but they still use the cached

      consensus document. This approach is good for robustness, but

      bad for performance: since they don't know any bandwidths, they

      end up choosing at random rather than weighting their choice by

      speed. Fixed by the above feature of putting bandwidths in the

      consensus. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x.

    - Directory authorities were neglecting to mark relays down in their

      internal histories if the relays fall off the routerlist without

      ever being found unreachable. So there were relays in the histories

      that haven't been seen for eight months, and are listed as being

      up for eight months. This wreaked havoc on the "median wfu"

      and "median mtbf" calculations, in turn making Guard and Stable

      flags very wrong, hurting network performance. Fixes bugs 696 and

      969. Bugfix on 0.2.0.6-alpha.

  o Minor bugfixes:

    - Serve the DirPortFrontPage page even when we have been approaching

      our quotas recently. Fixes bug 1013; bugfix on 0.2.1.8-alpha.

    - The control port would close the connection before flushing long

      replies, such as the network consensus, if a QUIT command was issued

      before the reply had completed. Now, the control port flushes all

      pending replies before closing the connection. Also fixed a spurious

      warning when a QUIT command is issued after a malformed or rejected

      AUTHENTICATE command, but before the connection was closed. Patch

      by Marcus Griep. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x; fixes bugs 1015 and 1016.

    - When we can't find an intro key for a v2 hidden service descriptor,

      fall back to the v0 hidden service descriptor and log a bug message.

      Workaround for bug 1024.

    - Fix a log message that did not respect the SafeLogging option.

      Resolves bug 1027.

  o Minor features:

    - If we're a relay and we change our IP address, be more verbose

      about the reason that made us change. Should help track down

      further bugs for relays on dynamic IP addresses.

Changes in version 0.2.1.16-rc - 2009-06-20

  o Security fixes:

    - Fix an edge case where a malicious exit relay could convince a
