Thema: Neue Tor-Version: sicherer und anonymer

Changelog

There's a new release candidate available for download. If you build Tor from source, you can download the source code for 0.4.5.4-rc from the download page on the website. Packages should be available over the coming weeks, with a new alpha Tor Browser release in 3-4 days.

We're getting closer and closer to stable here, so I hope that people will try this one out and report any bugs they find.

Tor 0.4.5.3-rc is the first release candidate in its series. It fixes several bugs, including one that broke onion services on certain older ARM CPUs, and another that made v3 onion services less reliable.

Though we anticipate that we'll be doing a bit more clean-up between now and the stable release, we expect that our remaining changes will be fairly simple. There will be at least one more release candidate before 0.4.5.x is stable.

Changes in version 0.4.5.3-rc - 2021-01-12

    Major bugfixes (onion service v3):
        Stop requiring a live consensus for v3 clients and services, and allow a "reasonably live" consensus instead. This allows v3 onion services to work even if the authorities fail to generate a consensus for more than 2 hours in a row. Fixes bug 40237; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
    Minor features (crypto):
        Fix undefined behavior on our Keccak library. The bug only appeared on platforms with 32-byte CPU cache lines (e.g. armv5tel) and would result in wrong digests. Fixes bug 40210; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. Thanks to Bernhard Übelacker, Arnd Bergmann and weasel for diagnosing this.

     Minor features (documentation):
        Mention the "!badexit" directive that can appear in an authority's approved-routers file, and update the description of the "!invalid" directive. Closes ticket 40188.
    Minor bugfixes (compilation):
        Fix a compilation warning about unreachable fallthrough annotations when building with "--enable-all-bugs-are-fatal" on some compilers. Fixes bug 40241; bugfix on 0.3.5.4-alpha.
        Fix the "--enable-static-tor" switch to properly set the "-static" compile option onto the tor binary only. Fixes bug 40111; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
    Minor bugfixes (config, bridge):
        Really fix the case where torrc has a missing ClientTransportPlugin but is configured with a Bridge line and UseBridges. Previously, we didn't look at the managed proxy list and thus would fail for the "exec" case. Fixes bug 40106; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
    Minor bugfixes (logging, relay):
        Log our address as reported by the directory authorities, if none was configured or detected before. Fixes bug 40201; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
        When a launching bandwidth testing circuit, don't incorrectly call it a reachability test, or trigger a "CHECKING_REACHABILITY" control event. Fixes bug 40205; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
    Minor bugfixes (relay, statistics):
        Report the correct connection statistics in our extrainfo documents. Previously there was a problem in the file loading function which would wrongly truncate a state file, causing the wrong information to be reported. Fixes bug 40226; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
    Minor bugfixes (SOCKS5):
        Handle partial SOCKS5 messages correctly. Previously, our code would send an incorrect error message if it got a SOCKS5 request that wasn't complete. Fixes bug 40190; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.

OnionFruit Connect permits you to continue using your browser of choice to connect to the TOR network.

Having the ability to use a browser that you are already comfortable with makes using TOR more of a seamless process. OnionFruit Connect will initiate the TOR service and then configures your proxy settings allowing your apps to be routed through TOR's tunnel. You will be notified know you're protected confirming that all your internet traffic is being passed through the TOR tunnel safely encrypted. This process ensures that every single site you visit gets routed through multiple servers to help mask your actions making them difficult to track.

UI

    add Add GeoIP file download progress

Backend

    add Add Tor process boosting option

Currently on by default, should help Windows with handling the data. Can be disabled via the features menu in settings. (This was once a launch flag, -priority)

    check Update dependencies

    check Fix recovery updater running every time

This would only happen if it was triggered to run because of a crash. On first run of the new update, this will go away.

Whats new:>>

This brings EXPERIMENTAL support for DNS routing, which does allow for .onion sites to be resolved. This currently requires IPv4 (no IPv6 support for now) and can be enabled in the features tab, after which will need a reboot to work (it'll ask for admin).

Changelog

    Major bugfixes (authority, IPv6):

        Do not consider multiple relays in the same IPv6 /64 network to be sybils. Fixes bug 40243; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
    Major bugfixes (directory cache, performance, windows):
        Limit the number of items in the consensus diff cache to 64 on Windows. We hope this will mitigate an issue where Windows relay operators reported Tor using 100% CPU, while we investigate better solutions. Fixes bug 24857; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.

     Minor feature (build system):

        New "make lsp" command to generate the compile_commands.json file used by the ccls language server. The "bear" program is needed for this. Closes ticket 40227.

    Minor features (authority, logging):

        Log more information for directory authority operators during the consensus voting process, and while processing relay descriptors. Closes ticket 40245.
        Reject obsolete router/extrainfo descriptors earlier and more quietly, to avoid spamming the logs. Fixes bug 40238; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.

    Minor bugfixes (compilation):

        Fix another warning about unreachable fallthrough annotations when building with "--enable-all-bugs-are-fatal" on some compilers. Fixes bug 40241; bugfix on 0.4.5.3-rc.
        Change the linker flag ordering in our library search code so that it works for compilers that need the libraries to be listed in the right order. Fixes bug 33624; bugfix on 0.1.1.0-alpha.

    Minor bugfixes (config, bridge):

        Don't initiate a connection to a bridge configured to use a missing transport. This change reverts an earlier fix that would try to avoid such situations during configuration chcecking, but which doesn't work with DisableNetwork. Fixes bug 40106; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.

    Minor bugfixes (onion services):

        Avoid a non-fatal assertion in certain edge-cases when establishing a circuit to an onion service. Fixes bug 32666; bugfix on 0.3.0.3-alpha.

    Minor bugfixes (relay):

        If we were unable to build our descriptor, don't mark it as having been advertised. Also remove an harmless BUG(). Fixes bug 40231; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.

Changelog

    Major features (build):

        When building Tor, first link all object files into a single static library. This may help with embedding Tor in other programs. Note that most Tor functions do not constitute a part of a stable or supported API: only those functions in tor_api.h should be used if embedding Tor. Closes ticket 40127.

    Major features (metrics):

        Introduce a new MetricsPort which exposes, through an HTTP interface, a series of metrics that tor collects at runtime. At the moment, the only supported output format is Prometheus data model. Closes ticket 40063. See the manual page for more information and security considerations.
