By doing so, we've also + unified the interface to find our address to support IPv4, IPv6 and + hostname. Closes ticket 33233. + + o Major features (relay, IPv6): +- Relays now automatically bind on IPv6 for their ORPort unless specified + otherwise with the IPv4Only flag. Closes ticket 33246. + + o Major features (tracing): +- Add a tracing library with USDT and LTTng-UST support. Few tracepoints + were added in the circuit subsystem. More will come incrementally. This + feature is compiled out by default. It needs to be enabled at configure + time. See documentation in doc/HACKING/Tracing.md. Closes ticket 32910. + + o Major features (IPv6, relay): +- Launch IPv4 and IPv6 ORPort self-test circuits on relays and bridges. + Closes ticket 33222. + + o Major features (metrics): +- Introduce a new MetricsPort which exposes, through an HTTP GET /metrics, a + series of metrics that tor collects at runtime. At the moment, the only + supported output format is Prometheus data model. Closes ticket 40063; + + o Major features (relay self-testing, IPv6): +- Relays now track their IPv6 ORPort separately from the reachability of + their IPv4 ORPort. They will not publish a descriptor unless _both_ + ports appear to be externally reachable. Closes ticket 34067. + + o Major features (relay, IPv6): +- When a relay with IPv6 support opens a connection to another + relay, and the extend cell lists both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, the + first relay now picks randomly which address to use. Closes + ticket 33220. + + o Major bugfix (TLS, buffer): +- When attempting to read N bytes on a TLS connection, really try to read + those N bytes. Before that, Tor would stop reading after the first TLS + record which can be smaller than N bytes even though more data was waiting + on the TLS connection socket. The remaining data would have been read at + the next mainloop event. Fixes bug 40006; bugfix on 0.1.0.5-rc. + + o Minor features (address discovery): +- If no Address statements are found, relays now prioritize guessing their + address by looking at the local interface instead of the local hostname. + If the interface address can't be found, the local hostname is used. + Closes ticket 33238. + + o Minor features (configuration): +- Allow the using wildcards (* and ?) with the %include option on + configuration files. Closes ticket 25140. Patch by Daniel Pinto. +- Allows configuration options EntryNodes, ExcludeNodes, + ExcludeExitNodes, ExitNodes, MiddleNodes, HSLayer2Nodes and + HSLayer3Nodes to be specified multiple times. Closes ticket + 28361. Patch by Daniel Pinto. + + o Minor features (control port): +- Add a DROPTIMEOUTS control port command to drop circuit build timeout + history and reset the timeout. Closes ticket 40002. + + o Minor features (directory authorities): +- Create new consensus method that removes the unecessary = padding + from ntor-onion-key. Closes ticket 7869. Patch by Daniel Pinto. + + o Minor features (relay): +- If a relay is unable to discover its address, attempt to learn it from the + NETINFO cell. Closes ticket 40022. + + o Minor features (relay, address discovery): +- If Address is not found in torrc, attempt to learn our address with the + configured ORPort address if any. Closes ticket 33236. + + o Minor features (admin tools): +- Add new --format argument to -key-expiration option to allow + specifying the time format of expiration date. Adds Unix + timestamp format support. Patch by Daniel Pinto. Closes + ticket 30045. + + o Minor features (authorities): +- Authorities now list a different set of protocols as required and + recommended. These lists are chosen so that only truly recommended + and/or required protocols are included, and so that clients using 0.2.9 + or later will continue to work (even though they are not supported), + whereas only relays running 0.3.5 or later will meet the requirements. + Closes ticket 40162. + + o Minor features (bootstrap reporting): +- When reporting bootstrapping statu
