Please bump tor version in maint-* branches as part of the release process
I just spent an hour wondering why Shadow simulates tor-0.2.4.16-rc just fine, but aborts when simulating maint-0.2.4:
0:0:22:976412 [thread-0] 0:5:2:381227791 [scallion-error] [exit8-81.1.0.0] [scalliontor_logmsg_cb] int connection_cpu_process_inbuf(connection_t *)(): Bug: /home/ubuntu/src/shadow/build/tor/src/or/cpuworker.c:313: connection_cpu_process_inbuf: Assertion rpl.magic == CPUWORKER_REPLY_MAGIC failed; aborting.
**aborting**Turns out there's no bug in tor. The problem is that Shadow looks at Tor's version string in configure.ac to decide what code changes to apply. maint-0.2.4 says it's version 0.2.4.10-alpha-dev. Editing the version string in configure.ac to 0.2.4.16-rc-dev fixes the problem.
Would it be possible to bump the tor version in maint-* branches as part of the release process? Is there a document where this step should be mentioned, and do you mind me requesting an update if the version string doesn't get updated in the future?
