Changes in version 0.1.2.9-rc - 2007-03-??

  o Major bugfixes (Windows):

    - On MinGW, use "%I64u" to printf/scanf 64-bit integers, instead

      of the usual GCC "%llu". This prevents a bug when saving 64-bit

      int configuration values: the high-order 32 bits would get

      truncated. In particular, we were being bitten by the default

      MaxAdvertisedBandwidth of 128 TB turning into 0. (Fixes bug 400

      and maybe also bug 397.)

  o Minor bugfixes (performance):

    - Use OpenSSL's AES implementation on platforms where it's faster.

      This could save us as much as 10% CPU usage.

    - Do not rotate onion key immediately after setting it for the first

      time.

  o Minor bugfixes (directory servers):

  o Minor bugfixes (directory authorities):

    - Stop calling servers that have been hibernating for a long time

      "stable". Also, stop letting hibernating or obsolete servers affect

      uptime and bandwidth cutoffs.

      of 2 as indicating that the server is completely bad; it sometimes

      means that the server is just bad for the request in question. (may fix

      the last of bug 326.)

    - On mingw, use "%I64u" to printf/scanf 64-bit integers, instead of the

      usual GCC "%llu".  This prevents a bug when saving 64-bit int

      configuration values on mingw; the high-order 32 bits would get

      truncated.  If the value was then reloaded, disaster would

      occur. (Fixes bug 400 and maybe also bug 397.)

    - Disable encrypted directory connections when we don't have a server

      descriptor for the destination. We'll get this working again in

      the 0.2.0 branch.

      of edge_stream_t.

Future version:

  - when we hit a funny error from a dir request (eg 403 forbidden),

    but tor is working and happy otherwise, and we haven't seen many

    such errors recently, then don't warn about it.

  - LD_BUG log messages could prepend "Bug: " automatically, so we don't

    have to try to remember to.

  - More consistent error checking in router_parse_entry_from_string().
