tor-router/CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

[4.0.0] - 2018-09-09

Added

• 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 returns a Promise that will resolve when the server is listening.

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. Methods now take advantage of async/await to increase readability.
• The logger argument to the constructor of all classes is now optional
• The Config property of instance definitions will now inherit from TorPool.default_tor_config.
• The mocha test has been split into individual files all under test/

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.
