Releases

There isn’t a “release schedule” in any sense. If there is something in master your project depends upon, let me know and I’ll do a release.

Starting after v0.19.x versions will follow calendar versioning with the major version being the 2-digit year. The second digit will be “non-trivial” releases and the third will be for bugfix releases.

v0.15.0

July 26, 2016

  • txtorcon-0.15.0.tar.gz (PyPI (local-sig or github-sig) (source)
  • added support for NULL control-port-authentication which is often appropriate when used with a UNIX domain socket
  • switched to ipaddress instead of Google’s ipaddr; the API should be the same from a user perspective but packagers and tutorials will want to change their instructions slightly (pip install ipaddress or apt-get install python-ipaddress are the new ways).
  • support the new ADD_ONION and DEL_ONION “ephemeral hidden services” commands in TorConfig
  • a first stealth-authentication implementation (for “normal” hidden services, not ephemeral)
  • bug-fix from david415 to raise ConnectionRefusedError instead of StopIteration when running out of SOCKS ports.
  • new feature from david415 adding a build_timeout_circuit method which provides a Deferred that callbacks only when the circuit is completely built and errbacks if the provided timeout expires. This is useful because txtorcon.TorState.build_circuit() callbacks as soon as a Circuit instance can be provided (and then you’d use txtorcon.Circuit.when_built() to find out when it’s done building).
  • new feature from coffeemakr falling back to password authentication if cookie authentication isn’t available (or fails, e.g. because the file isn’t readable).
  • both TorState and TorConfig now have a .from_protocol class-method.
  • spec-compliant string-un-escaping from coffeemakr
  • a proposed new API: txtorcon.connect()
  • fix issue 176

v0.14.1

October 25, 2015

  • subtle bug with .is_built on Circuit; changing the API (but with backwards-compatibility until 0.15.0 at least)

v0.14.0

September 26, 2015

  • txtorcon-0.14.0.tar.gz (PyPI (local-sig or github-sig) (source)
  • txtorcon.interface.IStreamAttacher handling was missing None and DO_NOT_ATTACH cases if a Deferred was returned.
  • add .is_built Deferred to txtorcon.Circuit that gets `callback()`d when the circuit becomes BUILT
  • david415 ported his tor: endpoint parser so now both client and server endpoints are supported. This means any Twisted program using endpoints can use Tor as a client. For example, to connect to txtorcon’s Web site: ep = clientFromString("tor:timaq4ygg2iegci7.onion:80"). (In the future, I’d like to automatically launch Tor if required, too).
  • Python3 fixes from isis (note: needs Twisted 15.4.0+)

v0.13.0

May 10, 2015

  • txtorcon-0.13.0.tar.gz (PyPI (local-sig or github-sig) (source)
  • support basic and stealth hidden service authorization, and parse client_keys files.
  • 2x speedup for TorState parsing (mostly by lazy-parsing timestamps)
  • can now parse ~75000 microdescriptors/second per core of 3.4GHz Xeon E3
  • launch_tor now doesn’t use a temporary torrc (command-line options instead)
  • tons of pep8 cleanups
  • several improvements to hidden-service configuration from sambuddhabasu1.
  • populated valid signals from GETINFO signals/names from sambuddhabasu1.

v0.12.0

February 3, 2015

  • txtorcon-0.12.0.tar.gz (PyPI (local-sig or github-sig) (source)
  • doc, code and import cleanups from Kali Kaneko
  • HiddenServiceDirGroupReadable support
  • Issue #80: honour ControlPort 0 in incoming TorConfig instance. The caller owns both pieces: you have to figure out when it’s bootstraped, and are responsible for killing it off.
  • Issue #88: clarify documentation and fix appending to some config lists
  • If GeoIP data isn’t loaded in Tor, it sends protocol errors; if txtorcon also hasn’t got GeoIP data, the queries for country-code fail; this error is now ignored.
  • 100% unit-test coverage! (line coverage)
  • PyPy support (well, at least all tests pass)
  • TCP4HiddenServiceEndpoint now waits for descriptor upload before the listen() call does its callback (this means when using onion: endpoint strings, or any of the endpoints APIs your hidden service is 100% ready for action when you receive the callback)
  • TimeIntervalCommaList from Tor config supported
  • TorControlProtocol now has a .all_routers member (a set() of all Routers)
  • documentation fix from sammyshj

v0.11.0

August 16, 2014

v0.10.1

July 20, 2014

  • txtorcon-0.10.1.tar.gz (PyPI (local-sig or github-sig) (source)
  • fix bug incorrectly issuing RuntimeError in brief window of time on event-listeners
  • issue #78: Add tox tests and fix for Twisted 12.0.0 (and prior), as this is what Debian squeeze ships
  • issue #77: properly expand relative and tilde paths for hiddenServiceDir via endpoints

v0.10.0

June 15, 2014

  • txtorcon-0.10.0.tar.gz (PyPI (local-sig or github-sig) (source)
  • In collaboration with David Stainton after a pull-request, we have endpoint parser plugins for Twisted! This means code like serverFromString("onion:80").listen(...) is enough to start a service.
  • The above also means that any endpoint-using Twisted program can immediately offer its TCP services via Hidden Service with no code changes. For example, using Twisted Web to serve a WSGI web application would be simply: twistd web --port onion:80 --wsgi web.app
  • switch to a slightly-modified Alabaster Sphinx theme
  • added howtos to documentation
