* Fix a client-side onion service reachability bug
* Update geoip and geoip6 to the January 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database.
* Sun Jan 01 2017 tchvatalAATTsuse.com- Remove conditionals for the sle11 as we won\'t build there due to openssl requirements. This reduces the logic in the spec file quite a bit

* Fix compilation with OpenSSL 1.1
* Fri Dec 02 2016 astiegerAATTsuse.com- tor 0.2.8.10:
* When Tor leaves standby because of a new application request, open circuits as needed to serve that request
* Clients now respond to new application stream requests immediately when they arrive, rather than waiting up to one second before starting to handle them

* Stop random client-side assertion failures that could occur when connecting to a busy hidden service, or connecting to a hidden service while a NEWNYM is in progress.
* Thu Jun 11 2015 astiegerAATTsuse.com- tor 0.2.6.9: Clients using circuit isolation should upgrade; all directory authorities should upgrade.
* fixes a regression in the circuit isolation code
* increases the requirements for receiving an HSDir flag
* addresses some small bugs in the systemd and sandbox code.
* Sat May 23 2015 astiegerAATTsuse.com- tor 0.2.6.8: This release fixes a bit of dodgy code in parsing INTRODUCE2 cells, and fixes an authority-side bug in assigning the HSDir flag. All directory authorities should upgrade. - Revert commit that made directory authorities assign the HSDir flag to relay without a DirPort; this was bad because such relays can\'t handle BEGIN_DIR cells. - Fix an out-of-bounds read when parsing invalid INTRODUCE2 cells on a client authorized hidden service. - Update geoip to the April 8 2015 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database. - Update geoip6 to the April 8 2015 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database.
* Mon Apr 06 2015 astiegerAATTsuse.com- tor 0.2.6.7 This releases fixes two security issues that could be used by an attacker to crash hidden services, or crash clients visiting hidden services. Hidden services should upgrade as soon as possible. [boo#926097] This release also contains two simple improvements to make hidden services a bit less vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks. - Fix an issue that would allow a malicious client to trigger an assertion failure and halt a hidden service. CVE-2015-2928 - Fix a bug that could cause a client to crash with an assertion failure when parsing a malformed hidden service descriptor. CVE-2015-2929 - Introduction points no longer allow multiple INTRODUCE1 cells to arrive on the same circuit. This should make it more expensive for attackers to overwhelm hidden services with introductions. - Decrease the amount of reattempts that a hidden service performs when its rendezvous circuits fail. This reduces the computational cost for running a hidden service under heavy load.
