    - Bridges write the SHA1 digest of their identity key fingerprint to









      notice-level logs and to hashed-fingerprint, so that bridge









      operators can look up their bridge in Globe and similar tools.

    - Warn the user if they put any ports in the SocksPolicy,









      DirPolicy, AuthDirReject, AuthDirInvalid, AuthDirBadDir, or









      AuthDirBadExit options. Fixes ticket #11108.









    - Don't log at warning severity when we refuse to launch a

   o Minor bugfixes (client):









    - Fix IPv6 support when using the SocksPort with SOCKS5. Using IPv6

      IPv6 thus this does not fix a previously introduced regression.

  o Minor bugfixes (servers):









    - Non-exit servers no longer launch mock DNS requests to check for









      DNS hijacking.  This has been unnecessary since 0.2.1.7-alpha,









      when non-exit servers stopped servicing DNS requests. Fixes bug
