Log Message:
update tor to 0.2.2.13-alpha

Changes in version 0.2.2.13-alpha - 2010-04-24
  o Major bugfixes:
    - Teach relays to defend themselves from connection overload. Relays
      now close idle circuits early if it looks like they were intended
      for directory fetches. Relays are also more aggressive about closing
      TLS connections that have no circuits on them. Such circuits are
      unlikely to be re-used, and tens of thousands of them were piling
      up at the fast relays, causing the relays to run out of sockets
      and memory. Bugfix on 0.2.0.22-rc (where clients started tunneling
      their directory fetches over TLS).

  o Minor features:
    - Finally get rid of the deprecated and now harmful notion of "clique
      mode", where directory authorities maintain TLS connections to
      every other relay.
    - Directory authorities now do an immediate reachability check as soon
      as they hear about a new relay. This change should slightly reduce
      the time between setting up a relay and getting listed as running
      in the consensus. It should also improve the time between setting
      up a bridge and seeing use by bridge users.
    - Directory authorities no longer launch a TLS connection to every
      relay as they startup. Now that we have 2k+ descriptors cached,
      the resulting network hiccup is becoming a burden. Besides,
      authorities already avoid voting about Running for the first half
      hour of their uptime.


Changes in version 0.2.2.12-alpha - 2010-04-20
  Tor 0.2.2.12-alpha fixes a critical bug in how directory authorities
  handle and vote on descriptors. It was causing relays to drop out of
  the consensus.

  o Major bugfixes:
    - Many relays have been falling out of the consensus lately because
      not enough authorities know about their descriptor for them to get
      a majority of votes. When we deprecated the v2 directory protocol,
      we got rid of the only way that v3 authorities can hear from each
      other about other descriptors. Now authorities examine every v3
      vote for new descriptors, and fetch them from that authority. Bugfix
      on 0.2.1.23.
    - Fix two typos in tor_vasprintf() that broke the compile on Windows,
      and a warning in or.h related to bandwidth_weight_rule_t that
      prevented clean compile on OS X. Fixes bug 1363; bugfix on
      0.2.2.11-alpha.
    - Fix a segfault on relays when DirReqStatistics is enabled
      and 24 hours pass. Bug found by keb. Fixes bug 1365; bugfix on
      0.2.2.11-alpha.

  o Minor bugfixes:
    - Demote a confusing TLS warning that relay operators might get when
      someone tries to talk to their OrPort. It is neither the operator's
      fault nor can they do anything about it. Fixes bug 1364; bugfix
      on 0.2.0.14-alpha.
