### Notes This file describes changes in Arti through the current release. Once Arti is more mature, we may switch to using a separate changelog for each crate. # Arti 1.1.2 — 1 March 2023 XXXXX ADD BLURB. (This is up-to-date with bd920fc844b5355607e83fec372b0146a534e774) ### Breaking changes in lower level crates - The APIs for `tor-cell` have changed significantly, to help implement [#525] and prepare for [#690]. This has no downstream implications outside of `tor-proto`. - Our [`IntegerMinutes`] type no longer has an erroneous `days()` accessor. (This accessor did not work correctly, and actually returned a number of minutes!) ([bb2ab7c2a3e0994bb43]) - The [`PartialNetDir::fill_from_previous_netdir()`] function has changed its argument types and semantics. ([f69d7f96ac40dda5]) (Breaking changes in experimental APIs are not noted here.) ### New features - We now have the facility to give a helpful "error hint" in response to a given failure. Right now, we use this to improve the error message given for file-system permission errors, so that it suggests either changing the permissions on a directory, or suppressing the error. ([#578], [#579], [!976], [!994], [!1018]) - When we log an error message from inside our code (at "info" or higher), we now make sure to log a full _error report_, including the cause of the error, its cause, and so on. ([#680], [!997]) - When receiving messages on channels, circuits, and streams, we now defer parsing those messages until we know whether their types are acceptable. This shrinks our attack surface, simplifies our code, and makes our protocol handling less error-prone. ([#525], [!1008], [!1013], [!1017]) - We now copy relay cell bodies much less than previously. ([#7], [ca3b33a1afc58b84]) - We have support for handling link specifier types verbatim, for cases when we need to use them to contact a rendezvous point or introduction point without checking them. ([!1029]) ### Onion service development - We can now parse onion service descriptors, including all encrypted layers, with support for descriptor-based client authentication. ([#744], [!999], [!1015]) - Our network directory code now supports deriving the `HsDir` directory ring, to find out where onion service descriptors should be uploaded and downloaded. ([#687], [!1012]) ### Testing ### Documentation ### Infrastructure - All our shell scripts now work when `bash` is somewhere other than `/bin`. ([!990]) - Our `check_doc_features` script is now a little more reliable. ([!1023]) - Our coverage tools now perform better checks to make sure they have all of their dependencies. ([#776], [!1025]) ### Cleanups, minor features, and bugfixes - The internal data structures in [`tor-netdir`] now use the [`typed_index_collections`] crate to ensure that the indices for one list are not mis-used as indices into another. ([!1004]) - We no longer reject authority certificates that contain an unrecognized keyword. ([#752], [266c61f7213dbec7]) - Our [`tor-netdoc`] parsing code now requires the caller to specify handling for unrecognized keywords explicitly, to avoid future instances of bug [#752]. ([!1006]) - Several internal APIs and patterns in [`tor-netdoc`] have been streamlined. ([#760], [!1016], [!1021]) - Make extension-handling code in for onion service message decoding more generic, since we'll reuse it a lot. ([!1020]) - We now kill off circuits under more circumstances when the other side of the circuit violates the protocol. ([#773], [#769]) - We now expire router descriptors as soon as _any_ of their internal expiration times has elapsed. Previously, we expired them when _all_ of their expiration times had elapsed, which is incorrect. ([#772], [!1022]) # Arti 1.1.1 — 1 February 2023 After months of work, we have a new release of Arti! Arti 1.1.1 is an incremental release, and cleans up a few issues from previous releases, including a few annoyances and limitations. More significantly, Arti 1.1.1 begins our work on [Onion Services]. This code won't be finished till later this year, but you can read about our process below. ### Breaking changes in lower level crates - Some accessors for the message types in [`tor-cell`] are renamed. ([#608], [!948]) ### New features - When logging an error at severity `info` or higher, we now (sometimes) include a full report of the error's sources. Previously we only logged the higest-level error, which often lacked enough detail to make a full diagnosis. This work will be completed in a subsequent release.([!936]) - When asked via SOCKS to resolve an address that is already an IP address, we now just return the same address, rather than asking the Tor network. ([#714], [!957]) - There is a new release profile, `quicktest`, for development purposes. It should run faster than `debug`, but compile faster than `release`. It is meant for quick integration and acceptance test purposes. ([#639], [!960]) - The `TorClient` object now exposes a [`set_stream_prefs`] API to let callers change their stream settings without cloning a new `TorClient`. ([#718], [!977]) ### Onion service development - There is now an unimplemented draft set of high-level and low-level APIs throughout our codebase that we will need to implement onion services. These not-yet-functional APIs are gated behind the `onion-client` and `onion-service` features. They are not covered by semantic versioning; we will use them to guide our implementation efforts in the coming months. ([#525], [#716], [!959], [!966], [!969], [!970], [!971], [!972], [!974]) - We have implemented the private-key version of the key-blinding algorithm used in onion services. ([#719], [!964]) - We now parse and expose consensus network parameters related to onion services. ([!968]) - Our SOCKS backend now supports returning the extended onion service SOCKS result codes from [proposal 304]. ([#736], [!978]) - The `tor-netdoc` crate now has a (not-yet-used) backend for constructing documents in Tor's metaformat. ([!969], [!984]) - Implement the lower level cryptographic key types (and some of the cryptographic algorithms) used by onion services. ([#684], [#742], [!980]) - Add support for parsing [Shared Random Values] from consensus documents, including the extensions from [proposal 342]. - In `tor-netdir`, implement the algorithms for determining the current time period and constructing the cryptographic parameters for each period's HsDir ring. ([#686], [!987]) ### Network updates - Update to the latest identity key for the directory authority `moria1`. ([!922]) - Retire the directory authority `faravahar`. ([!924], [tor#40688]) ### Testing - Upgrade to a newer version of the [Shadow] simulator, and use it to test Arti with bridges. ([#651], [!915]) - More tests for our safe-logging features. ([!928]) - More tests for error cases in persistent-data manager. ([!930]) - We now have a standard block of `clippy` exceptions that we allow in our test code, and we apply it uniformly. ([!937]) - In our Shadow scripts, use bare paths to find `tor` and `tgen`. ([!949]) ### Documentation - Move internal-facing documentation into a `doc/dev` subdirectory, so that it's easy for downstream users to ignore it. ([#576], [!921]) - Make the summary line style consistent across our `README` files, and make the crate list in [`Architecture.md`] match. ([!951]) - Add more high level documentation to [`Architecture.md`], including a rough crate-dependency diagram, and an object model diagram for our manager types. ([#624], [!963]) ### Example code - Make the `arti-hyper` example code compile and work correctly on OSX. ([#569], [#715], [!958]) ### Cleanups, minor features, and bugfixes - Use Rust 1.60's [conditional dependency] feature to simplify our dependency and feature logic. ([#434], [!920]) - Upgrade to [`shellexpand`] 3.x. ([!927]) - The `unwrap` method on [`Sensitive`] is renamed to `into_inner`; `unwrap` is now deprecated. ([!926]) - Clean up tests to use [`humantime`] more, and to specify fewer times as raw integers. ([#663], [!931], [!941], [!942], [!943]) - We now use a low-level [`CtByteArray`] type to handle the common case of declaring a fixed-length array that should always be compared in constant time. ([!962]) - There is now much more diagnostic logging in the pluggable transport IPC code, and for connection launching. ([#677], [!923]) - We have labeled more data throughout our logs and error messages as "sensitive" for logging purposes. ([#556], [!934], [!986]) - We've migrated all of our base64 parsing to [`base64ct`]. (This work began with [!600] in Arti 0.5.0; now we have migrated even the parsing that doesn't _need_ to be constant-time, under the theory that having only one implementation is probably better.) ([889206cde4ef29d]) - Our scripts now all indirect through `/usr/bin/env`, to support platforms that don't put `bash` in `/bin`. ([!988]) - Clean up various warnings introduced in Rust 1.67 ([#748], [#749], [!992]) - Numerous spelling fixes. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release, including Alexander Færøy, coral, Dimitris Apostolou, Emil Engler, Jim Newsome, Michael van Straten, Neel Chauhan, and Trinity Pointard.

Arti 1.1.0 adds support for Tor's anti-censorship features: Bridges (unlisted relays), and Pluggable Transports (external tools to hide what protocol you're using). Use of these features can make Arti more effective at gaining access to Tor, in spite of censorship (or breakage) between you and the wider public internet. These features are still very new, so there are likely to be bugs, and the user experience may not yet be optimal. (In particular, there are a bunch of spurious warnings and error messages in the logs.) Nonetheless, we believe that the quality of these features is good enough to be used. ### Breaking changes - Arti now requires Rust 1.60 or later. This allows us to use a few new features, and to upgrade a few of our dependencies that had grown stale. See ["Minimum Supported Rust Version" in `README.md`] for more information on our MSRV policy. ([#591], [#526], [#613], [#621], [!837]) ### Breaking changes in lower level crates - `SocksHandshake` has been renamed to `SocksProxyHandshake`, to distinguish it from `SocksClientHandshake`. ([b08073c2d43d7be5]) - Numerous changes to the bridge-related APIs introduced in 1.0.1. ([!758], [#600], [!759]], [!780]) - API changes to `tor-dirclient::Response`. ([!782]) - Netinfo cell constructors have been renamed. ([!793]) - The guard manager API no long accepts `NetDir` arguments to most of its methods; instead, it expects to be given a `NetDirProvider`. ([95a95076a77f4447]) - Move the responsibility for creating a GuardMgr to the `arti-client` crate. ([!850]) - Numerous other changes to lower-level APIs. ### New features - Arti can now connect to bridges when compiled with the `bridge-client` feature. (This is on by default in the `arti` binary.) As part of this feature, we have had to implement: - Configuration logic for bridges ([#599], [!744], [!745], [!767], [!781], [!780], [!783], [!826], [!874], [!877], [!881]) - Data structures to keep track of relays based on possibly non-overlapping sets of keys ([!747], [!774], [!797], [!806]) - Improved functionality for parsing router descriptors and integrating them with our list of bridges ([!755]) - Large-scale refactoring of the channel-manager internals to handle bridges and relays while treating them as distinct. ([!773]) - Code to download, store, and cache bridge descriptors. ([!782], [!795], [!810], [!820], [!827], [!828], [!831], [!834], [!845], [!851],) - Allow the guard manager to treat bridges as a kind of guard, and to treat bridge-lists and network directories as two kinds of a "universe" of possible guards. ([!785], [!808], [!815], [!832], [!840]) - Support code to integrate directory management code with guard management code. ([!847], [!852]) - More careful logging about changes in guard status. ([!869]) - Logic to retire circuits when the bridge configuration changes. ([#650], [!880]) - Arti can now connect via pluggable transports when compiled with the `pt-client` feature. (This is on by default in the `arti` binary.) This has required us to implement: - Configuration logic for pluggable transports ([!823]) - The client side of the SOCKS protocol ([!746]) - An abstraction mechanism to allow the `ChanMgr` code to delegate channel construction to caller-provided code. ([!769], [!771], [!887], [!888]) - Integrating the SOCKS client code into the `ChanMgr` code. ([!776]) - Launching pluggable transports and communicating with them using Tor's pluggable transport IPC protocol. ([#394], [!779], [!813]) - Code to keep track of which pluggable transports are needed, and launch them on demand. ([!886], [!893]) - Support code to integrate the pluggable transport manager with `arti-client`. ([#659]) - A "reactor" task to monitor PT status and launch pluggable transports as needed. ([!901], [!903]) - Paths in the configuration can now be configured using `${PROGRAM_DIR}`, which means "the directory containing the current executable". ([#586], [!760]) - Some objects can now be marked as "Redactable". A "Redactable" object is one that can be displayed in the logs with some of its contents suppressed. For example, whereas a full IP might be "192.0.2.7", and a completely removed IP would be logged as "`[scrubbed]`", a redacted IP might be displayed as "192.x.x.x". ([#648], [!882]) ### Testing - We now use the [Shadow] discrete event simulator to test Arti against a simulated Tor network in our CI tests. ([#174], [!634]) - Fuzzing for SOCKS client implementations. ([dc55272602cbc9ff]) - Fuzzing for more types of cells ([c41305d1100d9685]) - Fuzzing for pluggable transport IPC ([!814]) - CI testing for more combinations of features. ([#303], [!775]) - CI testing for more targets. ([#585], [!844]) - Better reproducible builds, even on environments with small /dev/shm configured. ([#614], [!818]) ### Cleanups, minor features, and bugfixes - We now use the [`hostname-validator`] crate to check hostnames for correctness. ([!739]) - Now that we require a more recent Rust, we no longer need to duplicate all of our README.md files explicitly in our crate-level documentation. ([#603], [!768]) - A few small refactorings to avoid copying. ([!790], [!791]) - Refactor guard-manager code to make it harder to become confused about which sample a guard came from. ([19fdf196d89e670f]) - More robust conversion to `u16` at some places in `tor-cell`, to avoid future integer overflows. ([!803]) - Refactor our "flag event" to make it easier to (eventually) use in other crates. ([!804]) - Significant refactoring of our file-change watching code. ([#562], [!819]) - Upgrade to [`clap` v3] for our command-line option parsing. ([#616], [!830]) - Fix documentation for starting Tor Browser with Arti on Windows. ([!849]) - Allow empty lines at the end of a router descriptor. ([!857]) - Improve some error messages while parsing directory documents. ([#640], [!859]) - Internal refactoring in `ChanMgr` to better match current design. ([#606], [!864]) - Improve display output for describing relays as channel targets, to provide a more useful summary, and avoid displaying too much information about guards. ([#647], [!868]) - Better error reporting for some kinds of router descriptor parsing failures ([!870]) - Numerous typo and comment fixes.

v3]: https://docs.rs/clap/3.2.23/clap/index.html [`hostname-validator`]: https://crates.io/crates/hostname-validator # Arti 1.0.1 — 3 October 2022 Arti 1.0.1 fixes a few bugs in our previous releases. This is a fairly small release: Members of our team have spent a lot of September at a company meeting, on our vacations, and/or recovering from COVID-19. The feature work we have managed to get done is largely behind-the-scenes preparation for our anti-censorship release, which we now hope is coming in early November. ### Breaking changes - The `Schedule::sleep()*` functions in `tor-rtcompat` now return a `Result`. This change was part of the fix for part of [#572]. ### New features - Optionally expose an accessor to get the [`CircuitBuilder`] from a [`CircMgr`]. If you don't mind voiding your semver guarantees, you can enable this accessor with the `experimental-api` feature, and use it to build circuits using paths of your own creation. ([!738]) - We now apply our "safe logging" feature to the console as well, to avoid exposing sensitive information in our console log. ([#553], [!742]) ### Major bugfixes - Fixed a busy loop that could occur when dropping an Arti client, that would cause Arti to busy-loop and use too much CPU. ([#572], [!725]) - Fixed compilation when building with [`async-std`]. ([!723]) ### Documentation - Our high-level documentation has significantly tidied and revised for clarity and completeness. ([!717]) - We've updated our documentation for [how to use Arti with Tor Browser]. ([!719]) ### Infrastructure - Our reproducible builds now use Rust 1.63, and the code to make them has been cleaned up a bit. ([!716]) ### Cleanups, minor features, and minor bugfixes - Fix a test failure that would occur on some platforms depending on their inlining decisions. ([#570], [!727]) - Better listing of platforms that don't have [`getresuid()`], so that we can compile there without breaking. ([!728]) - Preliminary back-end support for encoding and decoding some messages in the onion service protocol. ([!714], [!735], [!736]) - Fixes for various newly implemented [Clippy] warnings. ([!729], [!749]) - The [`RouterDesc`] type now implements `Clone` and `Debug`. ([571e7f9556adf12d]) - Preliminary internal API designs for most of the logic needed to implement Tor's anti-censorship features. These APIs are unstable, and mostly not implemented yet, but they give us something to fill in. ([#543], [#558], [!740], [!743], [!748]) Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release, including Alexander Færøy, Trinity Pointard, and Yuan Lyu.

With this release, we are now ready to declare Arti *stable*: we are relatively confident that Arti has the security features that it needs for usage via the `arti` command-line proxy, or embedding via the `arti-client` API. In our next releases, we will focus on adding anti-censorship features similar to C tor, including support for connecting via bridges and pluggable transports. ### Breaking changes - Most of the APIs in the [`arti`] crate—the one providing our binary—are now hidden behind an `experimental-api` feature, to mark that they are unstable and unsupported. If you need to embed `arti` in your application, please use the [`arti-client`] crate instead. ([#530], [!664]) - The `default_config_file` function has been replaced with `default_config_files`, since we now have both a default directory and a default file. ([!682]) ### Breaking changes in lower-level crates - New `params()` method in the [`NetDirProvider`] trait, to expose the latest parameters even when we don't have a complete directory. ([#528], [!658]) - Large refactoring on the traits that represent a relay's set of identities, to better support more identity types in the future, and to make sure we can support bridges with unknown Ed25519 identities when we implement them. ([#428], [!662]) - Require that our `TcpStream` types implement `Send`. ([!675]) ### New features - Arti now implements Tor's channel padding feature, to make [netflow logs] less useful for traffic analysis. ([#62], [!657]) - Use [`zeroize`] more consistently across our code base. This tool clears various sensitive objects before they get dropped, for defense-in-depth against memory exposure. ([#254], [!655]) - Provide a "process hardening" feature (on by default) that uses [`secmem_proc`] to prevent low-privileged processes from inspecting our memory or our monitoring our execution. This is another defense-in-depth mechanism. ([#364], [!672]) - Arti now rejects attempts to run as root. You can override this with with `application.allow_running_as_root`. ([#523], [!688]) - Arti now rejects attempts to run in a setuid environment: this is not something we support. ([#523], [!689], [!691]) - We now support having an `arti.d` directory full of `.toml` configuration files, to be read in sorted order. ([#271], [#474], [#544], [!682], [!697]) - On Unix-like platforms, we now reload our configuration file when we receive a `HUP` signal. ([#316], [!702]) ### Major bugfixes - Numerous fixes to our [`fs-mistrust`] crate for Android and iOS, including some that prevented it from building or working correctly. ([!667]) - The [`fs-mistrust`] crate now handles Windows prefixes correctly. Previously, it would try to read `C:`, and fail. ([!698]) ### Infrastructure - The `check_licenses` tool now works with the latest version of `cargo-license`. ([!674]) - Our continuous integration configuration now has support for building and testing Arti on Windows. ([#450], [!705]) ### Documentation - Our documentation is now much more careful about listing which Cargo features are required for any optional items. ([#541], [!681], [!706]) - Better documentation about our API stability and overall design. ([#522], [#531]) - Better documentation on the `DONE` stream-close condition. ([!677]) ### Cleanups, minor features, and minor bugfixes - The `dns_port` and `socks_port` options have been renamed to `dns_listen` and `socks_listen`. They now support multiple addresses. Backward compatibility with the old options is retained. ([#502], [!602]) - Renamed `.inc` files to end with `.rs`, to help analysis tools. ([#381], [!645]) - Backend support for some cell types that we'll need down the road when we implement onion services. ([!651], [!648]) - Switch to the once-again-maintained main branch of [`shellexpand`]. ([!661]) - Use less storage on disk for descriptors, by expiring them more aggressively. ([#527], [!669]) - Backend support for RTT estimation, as needed for congestion-based flow-control. ([!525]) - Running as a DNS proxy can now be disabled at compile-time, by turning off the `dns-proxy` feature. ([#532]) - When a circuit fails for a reason that was not the fault of the Tor network, we no longer count it against our total number of permitted circuit failures. ([#517], [!676]) - Tests for older configuration file formats. ([!684]) - Our default log messages have been cleaned up a bit, to make them more useful. ([!692], [0f133de6b90e799d], [e8fcf2b0383f49a6]) - We use [`safelog`] in more places, to avoid logging information that could be useful if the logs were stolen or accidentally leaked. ([!687], [!693]) - Fix a race condition that could prevent us from noticing multiple configuration changes in rapid succession. ([#544], [a7bb3a73b4dfb0e8]) - Better errors on invalid escapes in our configuration files. (In toml, you can't say `"C:\Users"`; you have to escape it as `"C:\\Users"`. We now try to explain this.) ([#549], [!695]) - Improve reliability of a `fs-mistrust` test. ([!699]) - Various tests have been adjusted to work on Windows, or disabled on Windows because they were checking for Unix-only features. ([#450], [#557], [!696], [!701]) - When displaying filenames in logs or error messages, we try to replace the user's home directory with `${HOME}` or `%UserProfile%` as appropriate, to reduce the frequency with which the username appears in the logs. ([#555], [!700]) ### Testing - Lengthen a timeout in a `tor-rtcompat` test, to make it more reliable. ([#515], [!644]) ### Acknowledgments Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release, including Alexander Færøy, Arturo Marquez, Dimitris Apostolou, Emptycup, FAMASoon, Trinity Pointard, and Yuan Lyu.

work in netflow padding. (These notes summarize changes in all crates since Arti 0.5.0.) ### Breaking changes - The `download_tolerance` configuration section has been renamed to `directory_tolerance`: It's not about tolerances at download time, but rather about how expired or premature a directory can be. The related `DirSkewTolerance` has also been renamed. ([#503], [!638]) - Several methods related to managing the [`Mistrust`] file-permissions object have been removed or changed, thanks to refactoring elsewhere. ([#483], [#640]) ### Breaking changes in lower level crates These changes should not break any code that only depends on the [`arti_client`] APIs, but they will affect programs that use APIs from lower-level crates to interact more closely with the Tor protocols. - The `Error` types in all crates have been refactored to include far more accurate information about errors and their context. This does not break the [`arti_client`] API, but it will affect anybody using lower-level crates. ([#323], [!614], [!616], [!619], [!620], [!625], [!628], [!638]) - The [`Writeable`] trait used to encode data, and related methods, are now fallible. Previously they had no way to report errors. ([#513], [!623], [!640]) - The [`tor-cert`] APIs have been tweaked to support more compact internal representations and more idiomatic usage. ([#512], [!641], [!643]). - The [`NetDirProvider`] API, and related APIs in [`tor-dirmgr`], have been changed to support returning network directories with varying timeliness requirements. ([#528], [!642]) - The [`fs-mistrust`] API no longer supports certain operations related to unix groups, when built on iOS. ([!652]) ### New features - The internal [`tor-cert`] API now supports generating Tor-compatible certificates. ([#511], [!611]) - Improved API support for circuit handshakes that include external encrypted data, such as [`ntor-v3`] and [`hs-ntor`]. ([!618]) ### Major bugfixes - Fix a bug that prevented Arti from storing consensus files on Windows. Previously, we had generated filenames containing a colon, which Windows treats as a reserved character. ([#516], [!627]) - Fix compilation on iOS. Our dependency on the [`rust-users`] crate had broken our ability to work correctly there. ([#519], [!652]) ### Infrastructure - Our license checker now tolerates complicated licenses with nested boolean expressions, by explicitly allow-listing the ones we like. ([!635]) ### Cleanups, minor features, and minor bugfixes - Upgrade to a newer version of [`base64ct`], and remove some work-around logic required for the older versions. ([!608]) - Various typo fixes. ([!609], [!610], [!650]) - Upgrade to a pre-release version of [`x25519-dalek`] to avoid a hard dependency on an outdated version of [`zeroize`], so we can follow the latest version of the [`rsa`] crate. ([#448], [!612]) - Our client-global "dormant mode" flag is now published via a [`postage::watch`], which makes it easier to observe for changes. ([!632]) - Preliminary (unused) support for some onion-service-related cells. ([!626]) - The [`fs-mistrust`] crate can now use environment variables to be told to disable itself. This has allowed for simplifications elsewhere in our configuration logic. ([#483], [!630]) - Clean up an incorrect `--help` message. ([!633]) ### Testing - More tests for [`arti-hyper`]. ([!615]) - More tests for our undderlying base-64 implementation. ([!613]) ### Acknowledgments Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release, including Arturo Marquez, Dimitris Apostolou, `feelingnothing`, Jim Newsome, Richard Pospesel, `spongechameleon`, Trinity Pointard, and Yuan Lyu.

Previously, we had generated filenames containing a colon, which Windows treats as a reserved character. Thanks to "@feelingnothing" for the bug report and the fix. # Arti 0.5.0 — 24 Jun 2022 Arti 0.5.0 adds more cryptographic acceleration, a useful set of toplevel build features, reachable-address filtering, detection for failed directory downloads, and numerous cleanups. Note that for the first time, we did _not_ have breaking changes in the `arti-client` crate, so its version is staying at 0.4.1. ### Breaking changes - The `NetDirProvider` trait now requires `Send` and `Sync`. ([2223398eb1670c15]) - The traits that make up `Runtime` now also require `Send` and `Sync`. ([3ba3b26842254cfd]) - The "journald" option for LoggingConfig now takes `Option>`. ([!582]) - (Various smaller breaking changes in lower-level crates.) ### New features - We can now (optionally) use OpenSSL as our cryptography backend, for its better performance. To enable this, build with the `accel-openssl` feature. ([#441], [#442], [#493], [!550]) - We can now (optionally) use the assembly implementation of SHA1 in our cryptography backend, for its better performance. To enable this, build with the `accel-sha1-asm` feature. ([#441], [!590]) - Our top-level crates (`arti` and `arti-client`) now have a `full` feature that enables _most_ of their optional features—but not those that are unstable, those that are testing-only, those that select a particular implementation or build flag, or those whose licenses may be incompatible with some downstream licenses. ([#499], [!584]) - We now notice when we get stuck when trying to bootstrap a directory, and report the problem as part of our blockage-detection API. ([#468], [!587]) - We support a `reachable_addrs` feature that allows the user to tell Arti that only some addresses and/or ports are reachable over the local network. ([#491], [#93], [!583]) - Our configuration logic now handles "no such value" options (like using "0" to mean "no port") more consistently, warns about unrecognized options, and includes tests to be sure that the "default configuration" file really lists all of the defaults. ([#457], [#480], [#488], [!582], [!589], [!594]) ### Infrastructure - Our shell scripts are now more robust to a few different runtime environments. ([!539], [!541]) - Our license-checking code is more accurate and careful. ([#462], [!559]) - The PRNG logic in our unit tests now uses reproducible seeds, so that we can better diagnose issues related to sometimes-failing tests. ([!561]) ### Cleanups, minor features, and minor bugfixes - The `fs-mistrust` crate now handles environments where `getgrouplist()` doesn't include the current GID. ([#487], [!548]) - `dns_port` now de-duplicates requests based on transaction ID. ([#441], [!535]) - `dns_port` returns more accurate errors in several cases. ([!564]) - More unit tests in various places. ([!551], [!562]) - We avoid initializing a `DataStream` if it would immediately be closed. ([!556]) - We return a more useful error message for incorrect file permissions ([!554]) - The directory manager code now uses a refactored timing backend that knows how to respect dormant mode. ([#497], [!571]) - Fix an unreliable test related to guard filtering. ([#491], [89f9e1decb7872d6]) - We now use a constant-time implementation of base-64 decoding. ([#154], [!600]) - We now make sure that at least _some_ log messages can get reported before the logging is configured. In particular, unknown configuration settings now generate warning messages on stderr when `arti` starts up. ([!589]) - Many of our lower-level `Error` types have been refactored to give more accurate, useful, and best-practices-conformant messages.

There are significant breaking changes in this release; please see below. ### Breaking changes - We've merged the last (we hope) of our breaking configuration changes. - Configuration and command-line loading is now handled consistently via the option-agnostic `tor-config` crate. ([!495], [!498]) - We follow a uniform pattern where configuration objects are constructed from associated Builder types, and these Builders support [`serde`] traits, and everything provides a consistent API. ([!499], [!505], [!507]) - The `arti-config` crate no longer exists: its functionality has been divided among `arti`, `arti-client`, and `tor-config`. ([!508]) - The [`TorClientConfig`] object no longer implements `TryInto`. - The configuration logic now supports extensible configurations, where applications can add their own sections and keys without interfering with Arti, and unrecognized keys can still produce warnings. ([#459], [#417]) - The [`Runtime`] trait now also requires that `Debug` be implemented. ([!496]) - (Various smaller breaking changes in lower-level crates.) ### New features - Arti now checks file permissions before starting up, and rejects configuration files, state files, and cache files if they can be modified by untrusted users. You can disable this feature with the `ARTI_FS_DISABLE_PERMISSION_CHECKS` environment variable. ([#315], [#465], [!468], [!483], [!504], [!515]) - Arti now tolerates a much wider array of broken networks and installations when trying to bootstrap a working connection to the Tor network. This includes improved handling for skewed clocks, untimely documents, and invalid consensus documents. ([#412], [#466], [#467], [!500], [!501], [!511]) ### Major bugfixes - Arti no longer exits or gets stuck when it has received a consensus with invalid signatures, or a consensus claiming to be signed with certificates that don't exist. ([#412], [#439], [!511]) ### Infrastructure - Clean up more effectively in chutney-based test scripts. ([ee9730cab4e4b21e]) - Nightly [coverage reports] are now generated and exported to gitlab pages. ([!489]) - We no longer include a dependency on [`cargo-husky`]: If you want to have [git hooks] in your local repository, you'll need to install your own. (See [CONTRIBUTING.md] for instructions.) ([!494]) - Our shell scripts are more uniform in their behaiour. ([!533]) ### Documentation and Examples - Better documentation for Cargo features. ([#445], [!496]) - Better explanation of what platforms and dependencies we support, and what "support" means anyway. ([#379], [!513]) - An advanced example of using the stream isolation feature for trickier behavior. ([#414], [!524]) ### Cleanups, minor features, and minor bugfixes - Use [`tinystr`] to hold relay nicknames; this should save a bit of memory. ([!405]) - Refactor the [`DirMgr`] crate's bootstrapping implementation to reduce amount of mutable state, reduce complexity, and reduce the amount of code that has to modify a running directory. ([!488]) - We only check the formatting of our backtraces on our target platforms, to better tolerate operating systems where Rust's backtraces don't correctly include function details. ([#455], [!512]) - [`DirMgr`] is now better at remembering the origin of a piece of directory information. ([ef2640acfaf9f873]) - Used a new [`Sink::prepare_send_from`] helper to simplify the implementation of Channel reactors. ([!514]) - The SOCKS code now sends correct error messages under more circumstances. ([#258], [!531]) ### Acknowledgments Thanks to everybody who has contributed to this release, including Alex Xu, Dimitris Apostolou, Jim Newsome, Michael Mccune, and Trinity Pointard.

There are significant breaking changes in this release; please see below. ### Breaking changes Here are the main breaking changes visible from the arti-client crate. Numerous other lower-level crates have breaking changes not noted here. - We now require Rust 1.56 or later. This change enables us to use more recent versions of several of our dependencies, including a significantly faster `aes`. ([!472]) - Some unused accessors have been removed from `tor-socksproto`. ([3103549cba603173]) - Our configuration logic and APIs have been significantly revised. Major changes are described below. We expect that we're mostly done with breaking changes in this area, though we expect a few minor API breaks here in the next release. - Lists of objects, and contained configuration objects, are now constructed using a uniform pattern. - All of our config _builder_ types are now `Deserialize`; our configuration types themselves are not. - Various types are now more consistently constructed, which breaks some of the APIs. - Paths can now be given as "literal" paths, which will not be expanded. - Several options have been renamed for consistency. - For background see [#451], [!447], [!462], [!471], [!473], [!474], [!475], [!477], [!478], [!481], and [!487]. ### New features - Arti now tracks clock skew reports from the guard relays and fallback directories that we contact, and uses this information to infer whether our clock is actually skewed, and whether this skew is the likely cause of a failure to bootstrap. ([!450], [!455]) - We now remove obsolete files from our state directory. ([#282]) - More objects from `tor-dirmgr` are now exposed when the `experimental-api` feature is enabled. ([!463]) - Arti now has a feature to avoid logging certain sensitive information to persistent logs at level `info` or higher. When safe logging is enabled (which it is, by default), the string `[scrubbed]` is printed in these contexts, rather than the sensitive information. At present, only target addresses are considered sensitive, though we aim to protect more information moving forward. This feature can be disabled with the configuration option `storage.log_sensitive_information`. ([#189], [!485]) ### Major bugfixes - Our circuit-build logic is now much more careful about which errors are retriable, and how long to wait between attempts. ([#421], [!443]) - We resolved a race condition that could cause internal errors to be reported erroneously during circuit construction. ([#427]) - We no longer interpret a successful circuit as meaning that a guard is working _as a directory_. Even if it can build circuits, it may be unable to answer directory requests to our satisfaction. ([b3e06b93b6a34922]) ### Infrastructure - Our CI infrastructure now correctly detects (and reports!) failures from cargo-audit. ([!452]) ### Cleanups, minor features, and minor bugfixes - We report more accurate and useful messages on failure to build a circuit. ([f7810d42eb953bf5]) - Avoid dropping information when reloading guards. ([#429]) - Arti now treats expired or not-yet-valid directory objects as an error condition, since they indicate that the directory cache (or the client) likely has a skewed clock. ([#431]) - We now back off on attempts to build preemptive circuits, if we find that those attempts are failing. ([#437], [!456]) - As part of the configuration refactoring, we've extended the amount of our configuration builders that are auto-generated. ([!462]) - Improve handling of some integer overflows. ([!466]) - More unit tests throughout the code. ### Acknowledgments Thanks to everybody who has contributed to this release, including Christian Grigis, Dimitris Apostolou, Samanta Navarro, and Trinity Pointard.

Numerous other lower-level crates have breaking changes not noted here. - Significant refactoring to our configuration handling logic and APIs. The goals here are: - To have the `ConfigBuilder` objects be the primary configuration objects, and simplify the handling of configuration at the `TorClient` and `arti` APIs. - To remove `arti-config` entirely, and fold its contents into `arti` or `arti-client` as appropriate. - To remove unnecessary ad-hoc accessor functions until they prove to be needed. This change is not done in this release; we expect to have more breakage in this area in our next release as well. ([#314], [#371], [#372], [#374], [#396], [#418], [!391], [!401], [!417], [!421], [!423], [!425], [!427]) - The [`Runtime`] trait now includes (and requires) UDP support. (Part of [!390]'s support for DNS.) - Stream isolation support is completely revised; see notes on isolation below. ### New features - Experimental feature to allow the [`DirMgr`] to be replaced by a user-provided [`DirProvider`]. ([#267], [!318], [!347]) - Arti now tolerates IPv6-only environments, by using a basic form of the [RFC 8305] "happy eyeballs" algorithm to try connections to relays' IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in parallel. ([!382]) - New experimental APIs for modifying consensus objects ([!318], [!402]) - The `arti` crate now exists as a library, to better expose features like its top-level configuration logic. ([!403]) - Arti now supports a `dns_port` to relay A, AAAA, and PTR requests over the Tor network, like the C tor implementation's DnsPort. ([!390], [!408], [!409]) - Arti has a new full-featured [stream isolation API] that supports more complicated isolation rules, including user-supplied rules. ([#150], [#414], [!377], [!418], [!420], [!429], [!434]) - Channel and Circuit objects now remember the peers that they used when they were constructed, and allow queries of this information as part of their API. ([#415]) - The logic for retrying failed guards has been revised to use the same decorrelated-jitter algorithm as directory requests, per [proposal 336]. ([cb103e04cf4d9853], part of [#407], [!426]) - When all our guards have failed, we no longer retry them all aggressively, but rather assume that our net connection is down and wait a while. ([eed1f06662366511], part of [#407], [!426]) - When running as a directory client, we now remember more information about the source of each request, so we can avoid caches that have failed. ([87a3f6b58a5e75f7]) - Experimental feature to install a "filter" for modifying incoming directory objects. Used for testing, to observe client behavior when the directory is in an inconsistent or non-working state. ([#397], [!431]) - Arti now has initial support for a "Dormant Mode" where periodic events are suspended. Later, even more background tasks will be shut down. ([#90], [!429], [!436]) - Fallback directory caches are now handled with logic similar to guards, so we can avoid ones that aren't working, and simplify our logic for path construction. As a fringe benefit, this unification means that we can now use our guards as directory caches even when we don't have an up-to-date consensus. ([#220], [#406], [!433]) ### Infrastructure - We have a new [`arti-testing`] crate (not published on crates.io) to perform various kinds of stress-testing on our implementation. It can simulate several kinds of failure and overload conditions; we've been using it to improve Arti's behavior when the network is broken or misbehaving. ([#397], [!378], [!392], [!442]; see also [#329]) - The [`arti-bench`] tool now constructs streams in parallel and supports isolated circuits, so we can stress-test the performance of a simulated busy client. ([#380], [!384]) - Reproducible build scripts now use Rust 1.59 and Alpine 3.15. ([#376], [!380]) - Improved messages from reproducible build script. ([#378], [!383]) - Scripts to launch chutney are now refactored and de-duplicated ([!396]) ### Documentation and Examples - Better documentation for default configuration paths. ([!386]) - Instructions for using Tor Browser with Arti on Windows. ([!388]) - Better instructions for building Arti on Windows. ([!389], [!393]) - Improved documentation for stress-testing Arti. ([!407]) ### Cleanups, minor features, and minor bugfixes - Use [`derive_more`] and [`educe`] (and simple built-in `derive`) in many places to simplify our code. ([!374], [!375]) - Use a [forked version of `shellexpand`] to provide correct behavior on Windows. ([!274], [!373]) - Avoid unnecessary `Arc::clone()`s in `arti-client` experimental APIs. ([#369], [!379]) - New [`tor-basic-utils`] crates for small pieces of low-level functionality. - Small performance improvements to parsing and allocating directory objects, to improve start-up and download times. ([#377], [!381]) - Use significantly less memory (on the order of a few megabytes less per running client) to store directory objects. ([#384], [#385], [#386], [#387], [#388], [!389], [!398], [!415]) - Avoid allocating a backtrace object for each channel-creation attempt. ([#383], [!394]) - Always send an "If-Modified-Since" header on consensus requests, since we wouldn't want a consensus that was far too old. ([#403], [!412]) - Actually use the configuration for preemptive circuit construction. Previously, we missed a place where we needed to copy it. (Part of [!417]) - Backend support for collecting clock skew information; not yet used. ([#405], [!410]) - Major refactoring for periodic events, to support an initial version of "dormant mode." ([!429]) - Remove most uses of `SystemTime::now`, in favor of calling the equivalent function on [`SleepProvider`]. ([#306], [!365]) - Several bugs in the logic for retrying directory downloads have been fixed, and several parameters have been tuned, to lead to better behavior under certain network failure conditions.

of our 0.1.0 milestone. With this milestone, we now consider Arti ready for experimental embedding within other applications. Additionally with this release, we're now ready to declare the `arti_client` API more or less stable and supported. (We're not committing to never break it again in the future, but we'll try not to do so without pretty good reasons.) The 1.0.0 release, scheduled for this September, will represent an even stronger API commitment. ### Breaking changes - Our top-level `Error` type is now a mostly-opaque wrapper around an inner hidden `ErrorDetail` type. (You can access `ErrorDetail` by enabling a feature, but it breaks your semver guarantees.) To distinguish among different kinds of `Error`s, we provide a supported (and hopefully stable) `ErrorKind` API that developers can use. ([!262], [!291], [!325], [#322], [#348]) - The interface to construct a `TorClient` instance has been completely replaced. The new API should be stable, and prevent the need for additional breaking changes in the future. ([#350], [!364], [#326]) - Many smaller changes, too numerous to list. (Starting _after_ this release, we will try be much more careful about breaking changes, and note them specifically here.) - We no longer recommend the `static` feature flag; instead use `static-native-tls` or `static-sqlite` as appropriate. ([#302]) ### New features - The Arti client can now watch its configuration files to see if they change, and reconfigure itself when they do. This is controlled by a `watch_configuration` option, and is off-by-default. ([#270], [!280]) - Unused channels now expire after enough time has passed. (This is mostly not needed on the client side, since relays also expire unused channels.) ([#41], [!273]) - You can now create an unbootstrapped TorClient object, so that you can observe its bootstrapping progress and/or bootstrap it at a later time. ([#293], [!298]) - You can configure an unbootstrapped TorClient object to automatically bootstrap itself the first time it's used. ([!322]) - Arti now returns a webpage with an error message if you try to use its SOCKS proxy as an HTTP proxy ([!348]) - We now provide an [arti-hyper] crate for using Arti with the [hyper] HTTP library. This is also good example code for showing how to integrate Arti with other tools. ([!342], [!355]] ### Major bugfixes - Fixed a number of problems in the circuit Reactor implementation that could result in cell reordering, leading to relays closing our circuits because of protocol violations. ([!264], [!282]) - Fixed bugs that could cause strange behavior on shutdown or failure during circuit construction. ([#210], [#365], [!363], [!366], [!368]) ### Infrastructure - Numerous CI improvements. - Numerous coverage-testing improvements. - We renamed our shell and python scripts to remove their ".sh" and ".py" suffixes, so that we can more freely change their implementations in the future (if needed). ([#309]) - The `DirMgr` crate now uses an abstract `Store` trait to make it easier for us to implement new storage backends in the future. ([!345], [!317]) ### Documentation and Examples - Provide better sample code for `TorClient::connect`. ([!303]) - Provide an example for how to make a [lazy-initialized] `TorClient` object. ([#278], [!322]) - Provide an example for how to [override the default TCP-connect] implementation. ([!341], [!356]) ### Cleanups, minor features, and minor bugfixes - Stop using `:` as a path character; it's reserved on Windows. ([!277]) - Avoid returning junk data from over-long directory downloads ([!271]) - Implement Debug and Display for many more types. - We no longer `deny(clippy::all)`; instead we only use `warn(clippy::all)` to prevent future clippy versions from breaking completely on our code. ([#338]) - As part of our `Error` refactoring and implementation of `ErrorKind`, we improved the Error objects in many individual crates for better accuracy and specificity. - Fix a bug that caused us to flush our persistent state to disk too aggressively. ([#320], [!321]) - The `arti` proxy now starts listening on its SOCKS port immediately, rather than waiting for bootstrapping to complete.

It breaks compatibility with previous releases, as is expected before release 0.1.0 (scheduled March 2022). ### New features - Add backends for exposing changes in bootstrap status, either to be queried by a function or read as a stream of events. These APIs will become more useful once there is a way to actually get an un-bootstrapped `TorClient`. ([#96]) - `TorClient` now has a `clone_with_prefs` method to make a new client with a different set of default stream preferences. ([7ff16fc252c0121f6607], [#290]]) - Add a feature for telling a `TorClient` that every stream should be isolated on its own circuit. Please use this sparingly; it can be inefficient. ([!252]) - Convenience types for overriding parts of the behavior of an asynchronous `Runtime`. ([!251]) - Optional support for `rustls` in place of `native_tls`. This is off by default; to turn it on, use the `rustls` feature, and construct your client using one of the `Runtime`s with `Rustls` in its name. ([!260], [#86]) ### Breaking changes - Significant refactoring of exports and constructor functions in the `arti-client` crate. ([!235]) - Change the persistence format used for guard information, to make it more future-proof. ([#176]) - Functions and types that used to refer to "Connections" now refer to "Streams" for consistency. ([!256]) - The types exported by the `tor-rtcompat` crate, and the functions used to create them, have been renamed for consistency. ([!263]) - The `Runtime` API has changed slightly, to avoid a conflict with newer versions of `async_executors`. ([bf8fa66d36298561cc86]) ### Major bugfixes - Require authenticated SENDMEs when the relay supports them, and not otherwise. ([#294]) - Fix the default location for the cache files. (Previously, they were put into the state directory.) ([#297]) ### Infrastructure - Numerous improvements to coverage tooling. ([#248], [!221], [!269], [!253]) - Improvements to `arti-bench` reliability and usefulness. ([#292]) - Our CI now runs `shellcheck` on our shell scripts. ([#275]) ### Documentation - Build instructions for iOS. ([#132]) - Adopt a MSRV policy. ([#283]) - More information about troubleshooting the build process. ([#277]) ### Cleanups, minor features, and minor bugfixes - The `max_file_limit` setting is now configurable. ([#299]) - Fix an unreliable test. ([#276]) - Fix a test that would always fail when run after January 27. ([!268]) - Avoid possible incomplete reads and writes in Tor channel handshake. ([1d5a480f79e7d878ff], [!249]]) - Refactor some types to expose `Arc<>` less often. ([!236]) - Too many others to list! ### Acknowledgments Thanks to everybody who has contributed to this release, including Arturo Marquez, Daniel Eades, Daniel Schischkin, Jani Monoses, Neel Chauhan, and Trinity Pointard.

It breaks compatibility with previous releases, as is expected before release 0.1.0 (scheduled March 2022). ### New features - Arti now builds preemptive circuits in order to anticipate the user's predicted needs. This change matches Tor's behavior more closely, and should reduce latency for stream creation. ([!154]) - The configuration for a [`TorClient`] object can be changed while the client is running. ([!181]) - Guard selection now obeys family restrictions concerning exit nodes. ([!139]) - Better support for overriding the [`TcpProvider`] on an Arti client and having this change affect the [`TlsProvider`]. This helps with testing support, with cases where TCP streams must be constructed specially, etc. ([!166]) - We no longer consider a directory to be "complete" until we have microdescriptors for all of our primary guards. ([!220]) ### Breaking changes - Configuration files have been reorganized, and we have an all-new API for creating configuration objects. ([!135], [!137]) - A few unused types and functions have been removed. ([214c251e] etc) - `CircMgr` now returns `ClientCirc` directly, not wrapped in an `Arc`. (ClientCirc instances are already cheap to clone.) ([!224]) - `TorClient` now has separate `connect` and `connect_with_prefs` methods. ([!229]) - Various other API refactorings and revisions. (Please remember that we plan to break backward compatibility with _every_ release between now and 0.1.0 in early March.) ### Major bugfixes - We fixed a bug in handling stream-level SENDMEs that would sometimes result in an Arti client sending too much data, causing the exit relay to close the circuit. ([!194]) ### Infrastructure - We now have an experimental benchmarking tool to compare Arti's performance with Tor's, when running over a chutney network. So far, we seem competitive, but we'll probably find cases where we underperform. ([!195]) - Our coverage tool now post-processes grcov's output to produce per-crate results. ([!163]) - Our integration test scripts are more robust to cases where the user has already configured a `CHUTNEY_PATH`. ([!168]) - We have lowered the required dependency versions in our Cargo.toml files so that each one is the lowest version that actually works with our code. ([!227]) ### Cleanups, minor features, and minor bugfixes - We store fewer needless fields from Tor directory documents. ([!151], [!165]) - We've gone through and converted _every_ `XXXX` comment in our code (which indicated a must-fix issue) into a ticket, or a `TODO`. ([#231]) - Our SOCKS code is much more careful about sending error messages if an error occurs before the SOCKS connection succeeds. ([!189]) - We no longer build non-directory circuits when the consensus is super-old. ([!90]) - We no longer consider timeouts to indicate that our circuits are all timing out unless we have seen _some_ recent incoming network traffic. ([!207]) - You can now configure logging to files, with support for rotating the files hourly or daily. You can have separate filters for each logging target. ([!222]) - Too many others to list! ### Acknowledgments Thanks to everybody who has contributed to this release, including dagon, Daniel Eades, Muhammad Falak R Wani, Neel Chauhan, Trinity Pointard, and Yuan Lyu!

It breaks compatibility with previous releases, as is expected before release 0.1.0 (scheduled March 2022). ### New features - Warn if guard restrictions are too strict. ([#242]) - Optimistic data is now supported on streams, and used by default on directory requests. ([#23]) - Initial cut at a typed event framework. Not yet used, but will eventually take the role of Tor's "controller event" system. ([#230]) - Large rewrite of configuration handling system, with more ergonomic builders for top-level configurations. ([#84]) ### Breaking changes - The `${APP_*}` path variables have been renamed to `${ARTI_*}`. ([efdd3275]) - The configuration file format has been substantially revised. ([#84]) - Most code that clients don't need is now behind a cargo feature. ([#124]) - Revised APIs in many other high-level crates. ### Documentation - Many other improvements and rewrites. ### Infrastructure - Update our `cargo-husky` scripts to better match our CI. ([!62]) - Use grcov, not tarpaulin. ([!136]) ### Cleanups, minor features, and bugfixes - Huge refactoring of the `tor-proto` crate to conform more closely to the reactor architecture, and reduce the need for locks. ([#205], [#217]). - By default, `cargo build --release` now chooses a more aggressive set of optimization flags. ([!124]) - Too many smaller fixes to list. ### Acknowledgments Thanks to everybody who's contributed to this release, including dagon, Daniel Eades, Dimitris Apostolou, Neel Chauhan, S0AndS0, Trinity Pointard, and Yuan Lyu!

That isn't to say that there are no remaining bugs, but rather that we've implemented the missing features that we think are essential for basic privacy. ### New features - Guard relay support... ([#58]) - ...with "Lightweight" path bias detection. ([#185]) - Circuit isolation API. ([#73], [!104]) - Circuit build timeout inference. ([#57]) - Persistent state on disk. ([#59]) - Allow multiple Arti instances to share directories. ([#194]) - Support for EnforceDistinctSubnets. ([#43]) - Configurable logging ([!68]) to journald. ([!73]) - Rejecting attempts to connect to internal addresses. ([#85]) - Support for Tor `RESOLVE` and `RESOLVE_PTR` [socks extensions]. ([#33]) - And too many others to list. ### Breaking changes - Switched from `log` to `tracing`. ([#74]) - Renamed `arti-tor-client` to `arti-client`. ([#130]) - Stopped exposing `anyhow` errors. ([#165]) - CLI now uses `clap`, and uses subcommands. ([!109]) - Too many others to list. ### Documentation - New top-level documentation for `arti-client`, with examples. ([!111]) - Many other improvements and rewrites. ### Infrastructure - Reproducible builds for Linux ([!69]), Windows ([!70]), and OSX ([!86]). - Support for static binaries. ([!69]) - Simple integration tests, using [chutney] ([!88]). ### Cleanups, minor features, and bugfixes - Too many to list. ### Acknowledgments Thanks to everybody who's contributed to this release, including Ben Armstead, Daniel Eades, Dimitris Apostolou, Eugene Lomov, Felipe Lema, Jani Monoses, Lennart Kloock, Neel Chauhan, S0AndS0, Smitty, Trinity Pointard, Yuan Lyu, dagger, and rls!
