forward-port the 0.0.9.3 changelog

Changes in version 0.0.9.3 - 2005-01-21

  o Bugfixes on 0.0.9:

    - Backport the cpu use fixes from main branch, so busy servers won't

      need as much processor time.

    - Work better when we go offline and then come back, or when we

      run Tor at boot before the network is up. We do this by

      optimistically trying to fetch a new directory whenever an

      application request comes in and we think we're offline -- the

      human is hopefully a good measure of when the network is back.

    - Backport some minimal hidserv bugfixes: keep rend circuits open as

      long as you keep using them; actually publish hidserv descriptors

      shortly after they change, rather than waiting 20-40 minutes.

    - Enable Mac startup script by default.

    - Fix duplicate dns_cancel_pending_resolve reported by Giorgos Pallas.

    - When you update AllowUnverifiedNodes or FirewallPorts via the

      controller's setconf feature, we were always appending, never

      resetting.

    - When you update HiddenServiceDir via setconf, it was screwing up

      the order of reading the lines, making it fail.

    - Do not rewrite a cached directory back to the cache; otherwise we

      will think it is recent and not fetch a newer one on startup.

    - Workaround for webservers that lie about Content-Encoding: Tor

      now tries to autodetect compressed directories and compression

      itself. This lets us Proxypass dir fetches through apache.

Changes in version 0.0.9.2 - 2005-01-04

  o Bugfixes on 0.0.9 (crashes and asserts):

    - Fix an assert on startup when the disk is full and you're logging
