Hi, all! There's a new Tor release candidate! We think this will be the last one before 0.4.5.x is stable.
The source code is available from the download page at https://www.torproject.org/download/tor/ ; if you build Tor from source, why not give it a try? And if you don't build Tor from source, packages should be ready over the coming days, with a Tor Browser alpha release likely in the coming week. Here's what's new: Changes in version 0.4.5.5-rc - 2021-02-01 Tor 0.4.5.5-rc is the third release candidate in its series. We're coming closer and closer to a stable release series. This release fixes an annoyance with address detection code, and somewhat mitigates an ongoing denial-of-service attack. We anticipate no more code changes between this and the stable release, though of course that could change. o Major feature (exit): - Re-entry into the network is now denied at the Exit level to all relays' ORPorts and authorities' ORPorts and DirPorts. This change should help mitgate a set of denial-of-service attacks. Closes ticket 2667. o Minor bugfixes (relay, configuration): - Don't attempt to discover our address (IPv4 or IPv6) if no ORPort for it can be found in the configuration. Fixes bug 40254; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
