Changes in version 0.0.8 - 2004-08-25
  o Bugfixes:
    - Made our unit tests compile again on OpenBSD 3.5, and tor
      itself compile again on OpenBSD on a sparc64.
    - We were neglecting milliseconds when logging on win32, so
      everything appeared to happen at the beginning of each second.
  o Port it to SunOS 5.9 / Athena


Changes in version 0.0.8rc2 - 2004-08-20
  o Make it compile on cygwin again.
  o When picking unverified routers, skip those with low uptime and/or
    low bandwidth, depending on what properties you care about.


Changes in version 0.0.8rc1 - 2004-08-18
  o Changes from 0.0.7.3:
    - Bugfixes:
      - Fix assert triggers: if the other side returns an address 0.0.0.0,
        don't put it into the client dns cache.
      - If a begin failed due to exit policy, but we believe the IP address
        should have been allowed, switch that router to exitpolicy reject *:*
        until we get our next directory.
    - Features:
      - Clients choose nodes proportional to advertised bandwidth.
      - Avoid using nodes with low uptime as introduction points.
      - Handle servers with dynamic IP addresses: don't replace
        options->Address with the resolved one at startup, and
        detect our address right before we make a routerinfo each time.
      - 'FascistFirewall' option to pick dirservers and ORs on specific
        ports; plus 'FirewallPorts' config option to tell FascistFirewall
        which ports are open. (Defaults to 80,443)
      - Be more aggressive about trying to make circuits when the network
        has changed (e.g. when you unsuspend your laptop).
      - Check for time skew on http headers; report date in response to
        "GET /".
      - If the entrynode config line has only one node, don't pick it as
        an exitnode.
      - Add strict{entry|exit}nodes config options. If set to 1, then
        we refuse to build circuits that don't include the specified entry
        or exit nodes.
      - OutboundBindAddress config option, to bind to a specific
        IP address for outgoing connect()s.
      - End truncated log entries (e.g. directories) with "[truncated]".

  o Patches to 0.0.8preX:
    - Bugfixes:
      - Patches to compile and run on win32 again (maybe)?
      - Fix crash when looking for ~/.torrc with no $HOME set.
      - Fix a race bug in the unit tests.
      - Handle verified/unverified name collisions better when new
        routerinfo's arrive in a directory.
      - Sometimes routers were getting entered into the stats before
        we'd assigned their identity_digest. Oops.
      - Only pick and establish intro points after we've gotten a
        directory.
    - Features:
      - AllowUnverifiedNodes config option to let circuits choose no-name
        routers in entry,middle,exit,introduction,rendezvous positions.
        Allow middle and rendezvous positions by default.
      - Add a man page for tor-resolve.


Changes in version 0.0.7.3 - 2004-08-12
  o Stop dnsworkers from triggering an assert failure when you
    ask them to resolve the host "".


Changes in version 0.0.8pre3 - 2004-08-09
  o Changes from 0.0.7.2:
    - Allow multiple ORs with same nickname in routerlist -- now when
      people give us one identity key for a nickname, then later
      another, we don't constantly complain until the first expires.
    - Remember used bandwidth (both in and out), and publish 15-minute
      snapshots for the past day into our descriptor.
    - You can now fetch $DIRURL/running-routers to get just the
      running-routers line, not the whole descriptor list. (But
      clients don't use this yet.)
    - When people mistakenly use Tor as an http proxy, point them
      at the tor-doc.html rather than the INSTALL.
    - Remove our mostly unused -- and broken -- hex_encode()
      function. Use base16_encode() instead. (Thanks to Timo Lindfors
      for pointing out this bug.)
    - Rotate onion keys every 12 hours, not every 2 hours, so we have
      fewer problems with people using the wrong key.
    - Change the default exit policy to reject the default edonkey,
      kazaa, gnutella ports.
    - Add replace_file() to util.[ch] to handle win32's rename().

  o Changes from 0.0.8preX:
    - Fix two bugs in saving onion keys to disk when rotating, so
      hopefully we'll get fewer people using old onion keys.
    - Fix an assert error that was making SocksPolicy not work.
    - Be willing to expire routers that have an open dirport -- it's
      just the authoritative dirservers we want to not forget.
    - Reject tor-resolve requests for .onion addresses early, so we
      don't build a whole rendezvous circuit and then fail.
    - When you're warning a server that he's unverified, don't cry
      wolf unpredictably.
    - Fix a race condition: don't try to extend onto a connection
      that's still handshaking.
    - For servers in clique mode, require the conn to be open before
      you'll choose it for your path.
    - Fix some cosmetic bugs about duplicate mark-for-close, lack of
      end relay cell, etc.
    - Measure bandwidth capacity over the last 24 hours, not just 12
    - Bugfix: authoritative dirservers were making and signing a new
      directory for each client, rather than reusing the cached one.


Changes in version 0.0.8pre2 - 2004-08-04
  o Changes from 0.0.7.2:
    - Security fixes:
      - Check directory signature _before_ you decide whether you're
        you're running an obsolete version and should exit.
      - Check directory signature _before_ you parse the running-routers
      list to decide who's running.
        list to decide who's running or verified.
    - Bugfixes and features:
      - Check return value of fclose while writing to disk, so we don't
        end up with broken files when servers run out of disk space.
    - Port it to SunOS 5.9 / Athena
    - Fix two bugs in saving onion keys to disk when rotating, so
      hopefully we'll get fewer people using old onion keys.

    - If a begin failed due to exit policy, but we believe the IP
      address should have been allowed, switch that router to exitpolicy
      reject *:* until we get our next directory.
      - Log a warning if the user uses an unsafe socks variant, so people
        are more likely to learn about privoxy or socat.
      - Dirservers now include RFC1123-style dates in the HTTP headers,
        which one day we will use to better detect clock skew.

  o Changes from 0.0.8pre1:
    - Make it compile without warnings again on win32.
    - Log a warning if you're running an unverified server, to let you
      know you might want to get it verified.
    - Only pick a default nickname if you plan to be a server.

      - We now use hash-of-identity-key in most places rather than
