same machine. While this is of course done outside the rc.subr(8) framework,
the package's rc.d(8) script should not interfere with these instances.
Require exact pexp matches in order to achieve this. Patch by "nusenu",
developer of ansible-relayor, tested by me in various situations.
For clients, this means no change.
For relays, this instructs tor to do a clean shutdown, leaving 30s for other
peers to find another route. Increase daemon_timeout to one minute to give
tor a bit more time on slow machines (like my BBB).

Changes in version 0.2.6.6 - 2015-03-24
Tor 0.2.6.6 is the first stable release in the 0.2.6 series.
It adds numerous safety, security, correctness, and performance
improvements. Client programs can be configured to use more kinds of
sockets, AutomapHosts works better, the multithreading backend is
improved, cell transmission is refactored, test coverage is much
higher, more denial-of-service attacks are handled, guard selection is
improved to handle long-term guards better, pluggable transports
should work a bit better, and some annoying hidden service performance
bugs should be addressed.
Tor 0.2.4.20 fixes potentially poor random number generation for users
who 1) use OpenSSL 1.0.0 or later, 2) set "HardwareAccel 1" in their
torrc file, 3) have "Sandy Bridge" or "Ivy Bridge" Intel processors,
and 4) have no state file in their DataDirectory (as would happen on
first start). Users who generated relay or hidden service identity
keys in such a situation should discard them and generate new ones.
(no CVE assigned yet)
Tor 0.2.3.25, the first stable release in the 0.2.3 branch, features
significantly reduced directory overhead (via microdescriptors),
enormous crypto performance improvements for fast relays on new
enough hardware, a new v3 TLS handshake protocol that can better
resist fingerprinting, support for protocol obfuscation plugins (aka
pluggable transports), better scalability for hidden services, IPv6
support for bridges, performance improvements like allowing clients
to skip the first round-trip on the circuit ("optimistic data") and
refilling token buckets more often, a new "stream isolation" design
to isolate different applications on different circuits, and many
stability, security, and privacy fixes.
Also kill unneeded pthread patch.

Changes in version 0.2.2.39 - 2012-09-11
Tor 0.2.2.39 fixes two more opportunities for remotely triggerable
assertions.
o Security fixes:
- Fix an assertion failure in tor_timegm() that could be triggered
by a badly formatted directory object. Bug found by fuzzing with
Radamsa. Fixes bug 6811; bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc.
- Do not crash when comparing an address with port value 0 to an
address policy. This bug could have been used to cause a remote
assertion failure by or against directory authorities, or to
allow some applications to crash clients. Fixes bug 6690; bugfix
on 0.2.1.10-alpha.
No CVEs for these vulnerabilities yet.
Changes in version 0.2.2.38 - 2012-08-12
Tor 0.2.2.38 fixes a rare race condition that can crash exit relays;
fixes a remotely triggerable crash bug; and fixes a timing attack that
could in theory leak path information.
- Never use a bridge or a controller-supplied node as an exit, even
if its exit policy allows it.
- Only build circuits if we have a sufficient threshold of the total
descriptors that are marked in the consensus with the "Exit"
flag.
- Provide controllers with a safer way to implement the cookie
authentication mechanism. With the old method, if another locally
running program could convince a controller that it was the Tor
process, then that program could trick the contoller into telling
it the contents of an arbitrary 32-byte file. The new "SAFECOOKIE"
authentication method uses a challenge-response approach to prevent
this attack.
We are not affected by the openssl vulnerability.

- fixes several bugs, and includes a slight tweak to Tor's TLS handshake that
makes relays and bridges that run this new version reachable from Iran again.
* amongst other things, add a tweak to Tor's TLS handshake that makes
relays and bridges that run this new version reachable from Iran.
Add an rc script.
