[4.0.1] - 2018-09-11

[4.0.0] - 2018-09-09

Added

• Instances can now added to one or more groups by setting the Group field in the instance definition to a single string or array
• You can now proxy through a specific instance using the username field when connecting to a proxy by setting --proxyByName or -n to "individual" or true. For example: to connect to an instance named instance-1 via http use http://instance-1:@localhost:9080
• You can also connect to a specific group of instances by setting --proxyByName or -n to "group". If enabled, requests made to ://foo:@localhost:9080 would be routed to instances in the foo group in round-robin fashion
• The control server will accept WebSocket connections if the --websocketControlHost or -w argument is set. If the argument is used without a hostname it will default to 9078 on all interfaces
• All servers (DNS, HTTP, SOCKS and Control) all have a listen method which takes a port and optionally a host. It will return a Promise that will resolve when the server is listening
• Application configuration can be changed at runtime using the getConfig and setConfig RPC methods
• Application configuration can be saved and loaded from disk using the saveConfig and loadConfig RPC methods

Changes

• All "Port" config options (e.g. socksPort) have been replaced with "Host", and can take a full host (e.g. 127.0.0.1:9050) for its value. This allows you to bind Tor Router to a specific hostname. If just a port is given it will bind to all interfaces
• All methods now return promises instead of accepting callbacks
• The logger argument to the constructor of all classes is now optional
• The Config property of instance definitions will now inherit all properties from TorPool.default_tor_config
• The mocha test has been split into individual files all under test/
• DNS shows the source/destination hostname/port in logs instead of what the query was resolved to
• TorProcess takes an instance definition as the second argument in its constructor

Removes

• The new_ips and new_ip_at TorPool and new_ip TorProcess have been removed. Use new_identites, new_identity_at and new_identity instead.
• The getDefaultTorConfig and setDefaultTorConfig RPC methods have removed. Use getConfig('torConfig') and setConfig('torConfig', value) instead.
