2 Make our email responder more usable. This patch removes the concept of
3 "valid" email commands and returns bridges (obfs4, for now) no matter
4 what the user sends. BridgeDB still supports email commands in case the
5 user needs a vanilla or IPv6 bridge.
7 * FIXES https://bugs.torproject.org/29686
8 Rename files that contain "Bridges" to "bridgerings", to eliminate
9 headache on file systems that are case insensitive.
11 Changes in version 0.10.0 - 2020-04-01
13 * FIXES https://bugs.torproject.org/30317
14 Update our "howto" box, which explains how one adds bridges to Tor
15 Browser. In addition to updating the instructions, this patch also
16 links to instructions for Android.
18 * FIXES https://bugs.torproject.org/33631
19 So far, BridgeDB remembered only the first distribution mechanism it
20 ever learned for a given bridge. That means that if a bridge would
21 change its mind and re-configure its distribution mechanism using
22 BridgeDistribution, BridgeDB would ignore it. This patch changes this
23 behavior, so bridges can actually change their distribution mechanism.
25 * FIXES https://bugs.torproject.org/31967
26 Use a CSPRNG for selecting cached CAPTCHAs.
28 * FIXES https://bugs.torproject.org/33008

47 This patch updates the AUTHORS file, HACKING.md, contact information,
48 the Trac URL to report bugs, our instructions on BridgeDB's landing

54 The metrics code used to weed out vanilla bridges, so they did not show
55 up in our metrics. This patch fixes this issue.

58 While implementing our language switcher (#26543), we added a new

80 We implemented BridgeDB's metrics in #9316 but haven't specified its
81 format until now. In addition to adding a specification, this patch
82 also makes our implementation consistent with our (slightly updated)
85 * FIXES https://bugs.torproject.org/29484
86 Update BridgeDB's requirements to the latest respective versions. Among
87 others, this patch set updates Twisted to 19.7.0, pyOpenSSL to 19.0.0,
88 and replaces (the abandoned) PyCrypto with PyCryptodome, which fixes
89 security vulnerabilities.
91 Changes in version 0.8.2 - 2019-09-20
93 Updated translations for the following languages:
94 bn, da, eo, fa, it, ko, nl, pt_BR, pt_PT, sr, zh_CN.

98 * FIXES https://bugs.torproject.org/17626
99 BridgeDB gets confused when users reply to a "get help" email. The
100 issue is that BridgeDB interprets commands anywhere in the email body,
101 even if it's in quoted text. To fix this issue, we are ignoring
102 commands whose email body line starts with a '>' character, which is
103 typically used for email quotes.
105 * FIXES https://bugs.torproject.org/28533
106 The frontdesk is seeing plenty of empty bogus emails. This fix removes
107 the email links and instead encourages users to take a look at the Tor
108 Browser Manual and at our Support Portal.
110 Changes in version 0.8.0 - 2019-08-20
112 * FIXES https://bugs.torproject.org/9316
113 Make BridgeDB export usage metrics every 24 hours. At the end of each
114 24-hour measurement interval, BridgeDB will append usage metrics to the
115 file METRICS_FILE, which is configured in bridgedb.conf. Our metrics
116 keep track of the number of (un)successful requests per transport type
117 per country code (or email provider) per distribution method. This way,
118 we get to learn that, say, over the last 24 hours there were 31-40 users
119 in Iran who successfully requested an obfs4 bridge over Moat.
121 * FIXES #26542 https://bugs.torproject.org/26542
122 Make BridgeDB distribute vanilla IPv6 bridges again.

125 Use stem instead of leekspin to create test descriptors. We now don't
126 need to depend on leekspin anymore.
128 * FIXES #31252 https://bugs.torproject.org/31252
129 Add an anti-bot mechanism that allows us to detect bots by matching
130 HTTP request headers for blacklisted patterns. For example, bots may
131 have their Accept-Language set to "Klingon". Blacklisted patterns are
132 configured in BLACKLISTED_REQUEST_HEADERS_FILE. When BridgeDB detects
133 a bot request, we can answer their request with a decoy bridge that's
134 only handed out to bots. Decoy bridges are configured in

140 Remove Yahoo from the list of allowed email domains. Yahoo allows you
141 to create up to 500 disposable email addresses, which BridgeDB
142 interprets as unique:
143 https://bugs.torproject.org/28496#comment:8
144 We could address this issue in BridgeDB but at this point we seem better
145 off dropping support for Yahoo because the provider likely also fell
146 behind in Sybil protection.

206 The production moat server had issues related to redirecting to
207 resources properly, which are now fixed.
209 * FIXES #24701 https://bugs.torproject.org/24701
210 Adds a special surprise for the special someone who has been
211 automatedly requesting bridges not through driving a browser, but
212 through a script which is so thoroughly stupid that it doesn't
213 even send the URL parameters for the CAPTCHA challenge and solution.
214 Their script will now be delayed for quite some time and then
215 rickrolled. Mess with the best, die like the rest.
217 * FIXES #24704 https://bugs.torproject.org/24704
218 Bridges returned to a single request are now filtered such that
219 there will never be two bridges from the same IPv4 /16 or IPv6 /64.
221 And includes the following general changes:
223 * ADDS unittests for the legacy code in bridgedb/Bridges.py,
224 bringing the total test coverage above 90% for the first time.
227 Changes in version 0.6.2 - 2017-12-20
229 * FIXES #24636 https://bugs.torproject.org/24636
230 The moat API specification included an extra response type which
231 could be sent if there was no overlap between transports the
232 client supported and those which the server supported. This has
233 been removed from the specification, which now describes the
234 behaviour moat has always exhibited: if there is no overlap, the
235 server responds with a CAPTCHA image response which includes the
236 list of transports it does support.
238 * FIXES #24637 https://bugs.torproject.org/24637
239 The moat server did not respond correctly with the specified JSON
240 API error type when there were no bridges available. It now
241 responds correctly with a 404 error whose details describe why the
242 request could not be fulfilled. The moat server also now logs
243 messages if there were not the configured
244 MOAT_BRIDGES_PER_RESPONSE number of bridges available.
247 Changes in version 0.6.1 - 2017-12-13
249 * ADDS a shell script, scripts/test-moat, for testing either a
250 locally-running moat server, or a remote one through a meek
252 Thanks to David Fifield for his work on meek, assistance setting
253 it up, and providing the first version of this script.
255 * FIXES #24433 https://bugs.torproject.org/24433
256 The test-moat script wasn't sending an X-Forwarded-For header,
257 which triggered a bug in the moat server, since the CAPTCHA
258 solution includes an HMAC based on the client's IP (forwarded
259 through all the several layers of tunnels/proxies).
261 * FIXES #24443 https://bugs.torproject.org/24443
262 Due to a difference between how booleans are parsed by Python's
263 json library and normal Python booleans, the moat server was
264 generating and returning QRCodes… regardless of whether the remote
265 client application asked for one. This is now fixed.
267 * FIXES #24460 https://bugs.torproject.org/24460
268 There was an unhandled error when sending certain (what appears to
269 be possibly malicious? but in a very strange way) requests to
270 BridgeDB's HTTPS distributor. The robots making the requests were
271 attempting to request bridges, but were presenting a CAPTCHA
272 solution without the correct HTML form field parameters present,
273 which isn't possible through normal usage of the web interface.
274 Whoever or whatever is doing this is now going to be endlessly
275 redirected so that they may forever spiral in their own private
276 internet hell. I reserve the right come up with a worse fate for
277 them later, should I get bored.
279 * FIXES #3015 https://bugs.torproject.org/3015
280 BridgeDB has had a partially-implemented concept of "buckets"
281 since the age of the dinosaurs: write some of the unallocated
282 bridges to a file which should (somehow) be manually distributed.
283 In addition to be unused and untested, there were several issues
284 with the buckets, the most significant of which were the inability
285 to request pluggable transports in a bucket and the fact that
286 buckets were not persistent in any way (e.g. if i request a bucket
287 of 50 bridges for Gomez and another with 50 for Morticia, they
288 might end up with some of the same bridges, further, tomorrow
289 they'll end up with 50 possibly different bridges than those they
290 received today). All of this code is now removed.
292 And includes the following general changes:
294 * FIXES issues with JSON quote syntax and a mistaken JSON API
295 "type" parameter in the specification of the moat server (in the
297 Thanks to Mark Smith and Kathy Brade for pointing out the issues.
300 Changes in version 0.6.0 - 2017-11-15

345 Authorities. See also #19690.

348 BridgeDB's version of Stem now supports parsing transport lines in
349 bridge extrainfo descriptors which contain IPv6 addresses
350 contained within square brackets.
353 Changes in version 0.3.7 - 2016-08-04
355 * FIXES #19691 https://bugs.torproject.org
356 BridgeDB (as running on Tor Project infrastructure) is now
357 invocated with a redirection of stdout and stderr to the flog
358 utility, in order to ensure that file handles are properly closed
359 and reopened when BridgeDB receives a SIGHUP.
361 And includes the following general changes:
363 * ADDS some files which were missing from BridgeDB PyPI packages
364 to the MANIFEST.in, so that they are now included.
367 Changes in version 0.3.6 - 2016-07-28
369 * FIXES #18237 https://bugs.torproject.org/18237
370 During descriptor parsing, BridgeDB saves copies of descriptor files
371 which couldn't be parsed, for later debugging purposes. To avoid
372 filing up the runtime directory with these files, we now delete files
373 older than 24 hours, every 24 hours.
375 * FIXES #18949 https://bugs.torproject.org/18949
376 Since we've upgraded the host machine which runs The Tor Project's
377 BridgeDB instance to Debian Jessie, this patch updates the testing
378 configurations and continuous integration infrastructure to run
379 tests on versions of Python dependencies in Debian Jessie and Stretch.
382 Changes in version 0.3.4 - 0.3.5 - 2015-11-30
384 * FIXES #14685 https://bugs.torproject.org/14685
385 This disables distribution of obfs2 bridges. This pluggable
386 transport has known distiguishers which allow adversaries to
387 identify client connections to obfs2 bridges, which in turn allows
388 these connections to be blocked/censored. With numerous obfs3 and
389 obfs4 bridges both readily available, users should not be
390 presented with an easily-configurable choice that is known to be
391 unsafe for the majority of users.
393 And includes the following general changes:
395 * ADDS error pages to BridgeDB's web interface, to provide
396 friendlier explanations for downtime, missing pages, and internal
397 server errors. For example: https://bridges.torproject.org/404
400 Changes in version 0.3.3 - 2015-10-25
402 * FIXES #12029 https://bugs.torproject.org/12029
403 BridgeDB now has an API for creating Bridge Distributors.
404 See the bridgedb.distribute module, or its developer documentation
405 at https://pythonhosted.org/bridgedb/bridgedb.distribute.html.
407 * FIXES PART OF #12506 https://bugs.torproject.org/12506
408 BridgeDB's two Distributors (HTTPS and Email) are now entirely
409 modularised and self-contained within separate subdirectories in
410 the source code. This is the first step to redesigning these
411 Distributors into their own separate processes, which will allow
412 the Distributors to remain functional while BridgeDB is reparsing
415 * FIXES #15968 https://bugs.torproject.org/15968
416 BridgeDB now sends a Content-Security-Policy header which
417 explicitly allows Javascript, images, CSS, and fonts, from
418 https://bridges.torproject.org. All other types of content are
419 forbidden, including:
420 - embedding https://bridges.torproject.org within
421 <iframe>, <embed>, or <object>, and attempting to source
422 additional resources into its embedded context
423 - inline Javascript, including Javascript within SVG files
425 - externally hosted fonts
426 - inline SVG, e.g. via the HTML5 <svg> tag
427 - any and all connections made via Javascript XMLHttpRequests,
428 WebSockets, sendBeacon(), and Web Workers
431 BridgeDB's Content-Security-Policy does not yet make use of
432 certain newer, lesser supported, Content-Security-Policy v2.0
433 directives, such as "reflected-xss" and "frame-ancestors", but may

437 Several links to Tor Project gitweb URLs within the developer
438 documentation were outdated in that they still used the old gitweb
439 URL format. These are now updated.
440 Thanks to David Fifield for the bug report and patches.
442 * FIXES #16330 https://bugs.torproject.org/16330
443 BridgeDB can now handle bridge-server-descriptors with
444 extra-info-digest fields which have two values, as well as both
445 bridge-server-descriptors and bridge-extrainfo descriptors which
446 contain Ed25519 key material and signatures. See Tor proposals
447 #220 and #228 for more information on the changes to these
448 descriptors. Note that BridgeDB can now parse this information,
449 but does not yet make use of any Ed25519 cryptographic material
450 within bridge descriptors.

453 Thanks to Atagar for patching Stem.
455 * FIXES #16616 https://bugs.torproject.org/16616
456 The HSDir flag can now be included within bridge-networkstatus
457 documents. BridgeDB now has unittests which guarantee that its
458 parsers safely ignore this flag, as well as any flags unknown to
459 BridgeDB which may appear in the future.
460 Thanks to Roger Dingledine for alerting me about the change.
462 * FIXES #16649 https://bugs.torproject.org/16649
463 Mobile users, and other users with small screen pixel ratios, will
464 find that the UI of BridgeDB's HTTPS Distributor has greatly
465 increased in usability and readability.
468 And includes the following general changes:
470 * FIXES an error when requesting the non-HTML version of the
471 bridges page (e.g. https://bridges.torproject.org/bridges?format=plain)
473 * REMOVES the `bridgedb test` commandline option.
474 BridgeDB's tests can be run via `python setup.py test` or `make
475 test` (or `make coverage` for generating HTML test coverage
478 * CHANGES the HTTPS Distributor to HTML-encode Bridge Lines.
479 Previously, a malicious Pluggable Transport Bridge could include
480 in its PT arguments something like "evil=<script>[…]</script>" and
481 if such a Bridge were to be distributed to a user, that user's web
482 browser would execute the script (if Javacript was enabled).
483 Other characters, including non-ASCII, control characters, double
484 quotes, and backslashes, are also sanitised from Bridge Lines.
485 Thanks to Robert Ransom for the patches.
487 * CHANGES BridgeDB's module/package version numbers to be
488 compliant with PEP440.
490 * CHANGES the layout of BridgeDB's source code directories.
491 Rather than storing BridgeDB's source in "lib/bridgedb/", it is
492 now kept in "bridgedb/". Similarly, the directory containing
493 BridgeDB's tests has been moved from "lib/bridgedb/test/" to
494 "test/", which means that the tests are no longer installed when
495 running `python setup.py install` or `make install`.
497 * ADDS several improvements to the developer documentation at
498 https://pythonhosted.org/bridgedb.
500 * UPDATE English (en_US) translations.

601 Changes in version 0.3.2 - 2015-05-01
603 * FIXES a problem with the calculation of Levenshtein distances
604 between blacklisted email addresses and those on incoming
605 email. This fixes a problem with the fuzzy matching implemented in
606 #9385: https://bugs.torproject.org/9385.
608 * FIXES #1839 https://bugs.torproject.org/1839
609 BridgeDB's distributors now rotate their hashrings at
610 configurable scheduled intervals.
612 * FIXES #4771 https://bugs.torproject.org/4771
613 BridgeDB now records which of the HTTPS Distributor's
614 sub-hashrings are used for clients coming from Tor Exit nodes and
617 * FIXES #12504 https://bugs.torproject.org/12504
618 Which Pluggable Transports BridgeDB distributes is now easily
619 configurable via the bridgedb.conf configuration file.
621 * FIXES #13202 https://bugs.torproject.org/13202
622 Old bridges running Tor-0.2.4.x with Pluggable Transports like
623 scramblesuit and obfs4proxy have a bug which causes them to not
624 include the PT arguments in the `transport` line they submit to
625 the BridgeAuthority in their extrainfo descriptors. This causes
626 BridgeDB to have broken bridge lines for these bridges.
627 For example, scramblesuit requires a `password=` in the
628 `ClientTransportPlugin` for clients to connect to it. If BridgeDB
629 receives a line in that bridge's extrainfo which says
630 `transport scramblesuit 1.2.3.4:1234` (without a password), then
631 when BridgeDB gives clients a bridge line for that bridge, it'll
632 look like "Bridge scramblesuit 1.2.3.4:1234" - meaning that it won't
633 work. This fixes the issue by excluding broken transports from
634 being distributed to clients.
636 * FIXES #15517 https://bugs.torproject.org/15517
637 For all clients who are coming from IPv6 addresses and are not
638 using Tor, who go to https://bridges.torproject.org, BridgeDB now
639 groups these clients together by /32. This "grouping" causes all
640 IPv6 clients within the same IPv6 /32 to get the same bridges.
641 Previously, BridgeDB grouped IPv6 clients by /64 (which is
642 ridiculously small, considering standard IPv6 allocation sizes).
644 For all clients who are coming from IPv4 addresses and are not
645 using Tor, BridgeDB now groups these clients together by /16.
646 Previously, BridgeDB grouped IPv4 clients by /24. (This latter
647 change was technically made as part of #4771.)
649 * FIXES #15464 https://bugs.torproject.org/15464
650 The setup procedure for creating a BridgeDB Continuous Integration
651 build machine is now simplified and generalised to include build
652 environments like Jenkins, not just TravisCI.
654 * FIXES #15866 https://bugs.torproject.org/15866
655 BridgeDB now ignores nearly all the information in the
656 networkstatus-bridges file created by the BridgeAuthority.
658 * ADDS benchmark tests to BridgeDB's test suite, and some of
659 BridgeDB's algorithms have been revised to improve their speed.
662 Changes in version 0.3.1 - 2015-03-24
664 * FIXES #14065 https://bugs.torproject.org/14065
665 When requesting vanilla IPv6 bridges from
666 https://bridges.torproject.org, BridgeDB would respond with IPv4
667 addresses. It now correctly responds with IPv6 addresses.
669 And includes the following general changes:
671 * FIXES an issue with the filtering of hashrings while answering
672 requests for Pluggable Transports. (commit 3ef37df6)
674 * FIXES the return value from the GnuPG interface initialization
675 function (bridgedb.crypto.initializeGnuPG) when creating a test
676 signature has failed.
678 * CHANGES the way BridgeDB handles the case where it parses to
679 duplicate extrainfo descriptors (for the same Bridge) which also
680 have identical timestamps. Before, we assumed this wasn't
681 possible. It turns out that it not only is possible, but that
682 usually every batch of descriptors has at least one Bridge with
683 such a set of perfectly identical extrainfo descriptors. Even
684 stranger, it appears that only Bridges started for the first time
685 quite recently (within the last eight hours) display this
686 behaviour. BridgeDB now logs these errors, rather than leaving
690 * ADDS an environment variable check to setup.py which controls
691 whether the setup.py script tries to install the dependencies
692 listed in the requirements.txt file with easy_install. If the
693 environment variable BRIDGEDB_INSTALL_DEPENDENCIES=0, then
694 setup.py will not use easy_install. When BridgeDB is installed
695 via `make install` the default is to not use easy_install;
696 however, when installed via `python setup.py install`, the default
697 is to use easy_install to check for, find, and install
698 dependencies. (NOTE: the latter is *not* recommended.)
702 Changes in version 0.3.0 - 2015-03-21
704 * FIXES #2895 https://bugs.torproject.org/2895
705 BridgeDB no longer assumes that any extrainfo descriptor files are
706 in chronological order.
708 * FIXES #4405 https://bugs.torproject.org/4405
709 BridgeDB now has a built-in timer mechanism for scheduling
710 cronjobesque events. This is now used to routinely download and
711 parse the list of Tor exit relays in a completely asynchronous
714 * FIXES #9380 https://bugs.torproject.org/9380
715 BridgeDB now uses Stem (https://stem.torproject.org) for its
716 parsers, and has better classes for parsing and storing
717 information on Bridges and their Pluggable Transports.
718 Additionally, all of BridgeDB's parses and the new
719 Bridge/PluggableTransport classes all have 100% unittest and
720 integration test coverage.
722 * FIXES #10385 https://bugs.torproject.org/10385
723 BridgeDB now uses python-gnupg (https://pypi.python.org/gnupg)
724 instead of GPGME (libgpgme11 and pygpgme). Previously, when using
725 GPGME, BridgeDB was unable to sign emails with a subkey whose
726 master private key was not present, causing all signing to be
727 broken. Additionally, GPGME tried to access and modify the
728 BridgeDB users $HOME directory, and GPGME would also try to create
729 signatures with encryption-only subkeys, and try to
730 encrypt/decrypt with signing-only subkeys. All of these issues are
731 no more, because the writhing tangled mass of bugs known ad GPGME
734 * FIXES #11216 https://bugs.torproject.org/11216
735 BridgeDB no longer parses any extrainfo descriptor files
736 cumulatively. Before, a Bridge which had a descriptor in
737 cached-extrainfo and in cached-extrainfo.new and supported obfs3,
738 obfs4, and scramblesuit transports would be parsed twice,
739 resulting in the Bridge having six transports. This is no longer
742 * HOTFIXES an issue with non-deterministic unittest failures in
743 the Mechanize-based integrations tests in
744 lib/bridgedb/test/test_https.py. hotfix/0.2.4-mechanize-tags
746 * FIXES part of #12507 https://bugs.torproject.org/12507
747 BridgeDB now has semi-automated developer documentation builds at
748 https://pythonhosted.org/bridgedb/.
750 * FIXES #12805 https://bugs.torproject.org/12805
751 BridgeDB is now packaged on PyPI, in the hopes that someday other
752 organisations will be able to run their own BridgeDBs.
754 * FIXES #12843 https://bugs.torproject.org/12843
755 BridgeDB will no longer distribute bridges which it believes are
756 located in Iran or Syria.
758 * FIXES #12872 https://bugs.torproject.org/12872
759 BridgeDB now has geolocational information for Bridges, telling it
760 which country each Bridge's primary ORAddress is within, as well
761 as geolocational information for each PluggableTransport address.
762 Thanks to Alden S. Page for the patches.
764 * FIXES #15155 https://bugs.torproject.org/15155
765 The instructions for obtaining a copy of Tor Browser should now be
767 Thanks to Jens Kubieziel, Nick Mathewson, and Peter Palfrader.
769 And includes the following general changes:
770 * CHANGES BridgeDB's continuous integration infrastructure to run
772 - Twisted-13.2.0 (Debian Wheezy version),
773 - Twisted-14.0.2 (Debian Jessie version), and
774 - Twisted-15.0.0 (latest and greatest)
775 As well as testing both:
776 - pyOpenSSL-0.13.1 (Debian Wheezy version), and
777 - pyOpenSSL-0.14 (Debian Jessie version).
778 See https://travis-ci.org/isislovecruft/bridgedb/builds
780 * FIXES an issue with the $PYTHON_EGG_CACHE directory being group
781 writable on Travis-CI build machines.

923 Changes in version 0.2.4 - 2015-02-03
925 * HOTFIXES a UnicodeDecodeError resulting from patches for #12627.
926 https://bugs.torproject.org/12627
928 * FIXES #9874 https://bugs.torproject.org/9874
929 BridgeDB now has integration tests for all bridge distributors.
930 Thanks to trygve for the patches.
932 * FIXES #12871 https://bugs.torproject.org/12871
933 Bridge Buckets now work, even if the code for calculating Bridge
934 stability is disabled.
935 Thanks to Matt Finkel for the patches.
937 * FIXES part of #12029 https://bugs.torproject.org/12029
938 Major sections of the bridgedb.Bridges module, which holds
939 BridgeDB's main data structures for storing and parsing Bridges,
940 have been refactored in preparation for upcoming changes to use
941 Stem's parsers (see #9380 https://bugs.torproject.org/9380)
943 * FIXES #12932 https://bugs.torproject.org/12932
944 Arguments for Pluggable Transports in the bridge lines which
945 BridgeDB distributes to users are now properly
946 space-separated. This issue was affecting the deployment of the
947 obfs4 PT (see #12130 https://bugs.torproject.org/12130).
949 * FIXES #13123 https://bugs.torproject.org/13123
950 Previously, there were two additional whitespace characters at the
951 beginning of bridge lines handed out by BridgeDB's HTTPS
952 distributor, which would be annoyingly copy+pasted into TorLauncher
953 and torrcs, etc. These are now gone.
955 * FIXES #12664 https://bugs.torproject.org/12664
956 Previously, for the bridge lines handed out by BridgeDB's HTTPS
957 distributor, the newlines were not properly pasted when a user
958 would copy+paste the lines. This is now fixed. Additionally, there
959 is now a "Select All" button (JS must be enabled) to select all
960 text for the bridge lines, to attempt to reduce user copy+paste
961 errors. If the display area which contains the bridge lines is
962 clicked, and JS is enabled, it has the same effect as clicking the
965 * FIXES #14064 https://bugs.torproject.org/14064
966 The bridge lines handed out by BridgeDB's HTTPS distributor are
967 now displayed with a horizontal scrollbar if they are too long to
968 fit into the display area.
970 * FIXES #11345 https://bugs.torproject.org/11345
971 BridgeDB now supports giving users QRCodes for their bridge lines,
972 to facilitate getting bridges into Tails and onto mobile devices.
974 * FIXES #12130 https://bugs.torproject.org/12130
975 BridgeDB's distributors now have options to distribute obfs4 bridges.
977 And includes the following general changes:
978 * CHANGES the integration tests based on Mechanize to only run on
979 CI servers, not locally on developers laptops, since it requires
980 the running BridgeDB test/staging instance to offer a plaintext
981 HTTP interface. See commit 24acf6a72.
982 https://gitweb.torproject.org/bridgedb.git/commit/?id=24acf6a72931c602631c97dbbeb582c22cf446cb
984 * ADDS better installation instructions in README.rst for
985 developers who wish to test their changes to BridgeDB.
986 Thanks to Alden Page for the patch.
989 Changes in version 0.2.3 - 2014-07-26
991 * FIXES #5463 https://bugs.torproject.org/5463
992 BridgeDB can now OpenPGP sign outgoing emails.
994 * FIXES #9385 https://bugs.torproject.org/9385
995 BridgeDB now has the ability to blacklist email addresses, and
996 configurable options to fuzzy match and block addresses which are
997 similar enough to those in the blacklist.
999 * FIXES #11139 https://bugs.torproject.org/11139
1000 You can now email BridgeDB from Riseup email addresses!
1002 * FIXES #12147 https://bugs.torproject.org/12147
1003 An additional issue with BridgeDB's code for scheduling actions
1004 was identified by Robert Ransom, who also provided a unittest to
1005 demonstrate the issue and test for future regressions. The issue
1006 pointed out has also been fixed.
1008 * FIXES #12635 https://bugs.torproject.org/12635
1009 The links in BridgeDB's email and HTTPS distributor UIs have been
1010 changed from the obsolete
1011 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en#downloads-beta
1012 to https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.
1014 * FIXES #12650 https://bugs.torproject.org/12650
1015 BridgeDB's translation files sometimes take a little while to
1016 update because real live human volunteers need to go to
1017 Transifex.org and convert the strings between languages. Then I
1018 need to import the strings, check all of them by hand to make sure
1019 there's no funny business which could harm users in them, and then
1020 commit all the diffs. Sadly, there isn't much more we can do to
1021 speed up this process, so sometimes BridgeDB's UI falls back to
1022 English when it doesn't have new enough translations files. Sorry!
1024 And includes the following general changes:
1026 * UPDATE translation: Chinese - Taiwan (zh_TW)
1028 * UPDATE translation: Chinese - China (zh_CN)

1087 Changes in version 0.2.2 - 2014-06-06
1089 * FIXES #9874 https://bugs.torproject.org/9874
1090 BridgeDB's email and HTTPS distributors were written in a manner
1091 that makes them largely impossible to write unittests for. Since
1092 the recent rewrite of BridgeDB's email distributor server backends
1093 for version 0.2.1, BridgeDB email distributor is now testable and
1094 has near 100% code coverage, see
1095 https://coveralls.io/r/isislovecruft/bridgedb
1097 * FIXES #12086 https://bugs.torproject.org/12086
1098 BridgeDB was found to accept incoming emails sent to any email
1099 address whose local part included the word bridges, e.g. emails
1100 sent to 'givemebridges@serious.ly' would be responded to as if
1101 they were destined for BridgeDB's real email address.
1102 - BridgeDB now strictly checks that the local part of the email
1103 address that an incoming email was sent to (after removing plus
1104 aliases, i.e. '+es_ES', '+fa', etc.) exactly matches BridgeDB
1105 configured email address username.
1106 - BridgeDB now checks that the domain name portion of the email
1107 address that an incoming email was sent to either matches the
1108 domain name portion of BridgeDB's configured email address, or
1109 is a subdomain of that domain.
1111 * FIXES #12089 https://bugs.torproject.org/12089
1112 There has been a bug for quite some time now where BridgeDB could
1113 be used to email arbitrary email addresses (as long as these
1114 addresses were ones which BridgeDB allows, i.e. Gmail or Yahoo
1115 email addresses). This was due to BridgeDB not checking that the
1116 email address used in the SMTP 'MAIL FROM:' command on an incoming
1117 message matched the one used in that email's 'From:'
1119 - BridgeDB now checks that the email addresses in the SMTP 'MAIL
1120 FROM:' and the 'From:' header on that incoming email match, in
1121 addition to the previous checks that the email address' domain
1122 is in the set of allowed domains.
1124 * FIXES #12090 https://bugs.torproject.org/12090
1125 BridgeDB has been replying with an empty email. I don't actually
1126 know for sure if this one is fixed. Before deploying version
1127 0.2.1, the continuous integration tests showed email responses
1128 being correctly generated, and I was also able to receive
1129 correctly formed email responses from BridgeDB on a local testing
1130 instance on my laptop. It appears that this bug occurs only on the
1131 deployment server at ponticum.torproject.org, possibly due to the
1132 outdated Python version in Debian Wheezy. I have not been able to
1133 reproduce this bug on any other machine.
1135 * FIXES #12091 https://bugs.torproject.org/12091
1136 BridgeDB wasn't properly ignoring emails whose DKIM signature
1137 verification header read "X-DKIM-Authentication-Results: dunno".
1138 - Bridgedb now marks incoming emails which have a
1139 "X-DKIM-Authentication-Results: dunno" header as invalid and
1142 * FIXES #12147 https://bugs.torproject.org/12147
1143 If a user refreshed https://bridges.torproject.org/bridges after
1144 successfully solving a CAPTCHA, BridgeDB would reply with a new
1145 set of bridges for each page refresh. This was due to the use of
1146 `getInterval()` in `IPBasedDistributor.getBridgesForIP()`. The
1147 correct function to use is `getIntervalStart()`. This had been
1148 noted in a "XXX FIXME" comment above the call for quite some time,
1149 however, when the `bridgedb.schedule` (previously called
1150 `bridgedb.Time`) module was revised to support CAPTCHA timeouts
1151 (#11215), the call to `getInterval()` was mistakenly not replaced
1152 with the correct function.
1153 - BridgeDB CAPTCHAs must be solved within 10 minutes.
1154 - Hashring rotation for bridges in BridgeDB HTTPS distributor
1155 occurs every 3 hours. Refreshing the page with bridges on it
1156 will return these same bridges for that time period, and
1157 afterwards redirect back to the CAPTCHA page.
1158 THANKS TO francisco on IRC and arma for reporting the bug.
1160 * FIXES #12212 https://bugs.torproject.org/12122
1161 TRANSLATOR comments are now properly extracted into the gettext PO
1164 And include the following general changes:
1165 * FIXES an issue where, when verifying GnuPG signatures made by
1166 BridgeDB's email distributor, GnuPG would error, saying, "invalid
1169 * ADD Korean (ko) translations.

1192 You guys totally just made my day. Thanks.
1194 * UPDATE Japanese (ja) translations.
1195 Thanks to plazmism, who is extra awesome for translating the phrase:

1221 Changes in version 0.2.1 - 2014-05-16
1222 * FIXES #5463 https://bugs.torproject.org/5463
1223 Emails sent from BridgeDB's email distributor should now be signed.
1224 - BridgeDB's emails will be signed with its online GnuPG keypair. The
1225 public key has the following fingerprint:
1226 DF81 1109 E17C 8BF1 34B5 EEB6 8DC4 3A28 4882 1E32
1227 The online keypair rotates (a new one is placed on the server once
1228 per year), and it will ALWAYS be signed with BridgeDB's offline
1230 - The online keypair above contains two subkeys. The signing subkey
1231 has the fingerprint:
1232 9FE3 9D1A 7438 9223 3B3F 66F2 21B5 54E9 5938 F4D0
1233 - BridgeDB's offline keypair has the following fingerprint:
1234 7B78 4370 15E6 3DF4 7BB1 270A CBD9 7AA2 4E8E 472E
1235 All of BridgeDB's keys may be found on the public keyservers, as
1236 well as at https://bridges.torproject.org/keys
1238 * FIXES #7547 https://bugs.torproject.org/7547
1239 BridgeDB's email distributor will now send you a message
1240 explaining how to use it, including valid commands and the list of
1241 Pluggable Transport TYPES currently supported. To receive help
1242 with the email distributor, simply send an email to
1243 mailto:bridges@torproject.org.
1244 - Any emails which do not contain a valid command will receive
1245 the help text in response.
1246 - Otherwise, to specifically request the help text, just say
1248 in the body of your email.
1250 * FIXES #7550 https://bugs.torproject.org/7550
1251 BridgeDB's email responder is now interactive, as described in the
1252 above entry for ticket #7547.
1254 * FIXES #8241 https://bugs.torproject.org/8241
1255 BridgeDB's HTTP distributor won't tell you how to get obfs3
1256 bridges through email, although a blank email, or an email
1257 containing "get help" will.
1259 * CLOSES #9678 https://bugs.torproject.org/9678
1260 A "Select Language" button was requested for the HTTP distributor
1261 on https://bridges.torproject.org. Instead, translated pages are
1262 distributed automatically (via detecting the "Accept-Language"
1263 header which can be set in the Settings panel of all modern
1265 - To request a specific translation, the "lang=LOCALE" argument
1266 can be added to the URL of any page. For example:
1267 https://bridges.torproject.org/options?lang=ar
1268 will provide the bridge options selection page in Arabic.
1270 * FIXES #11215 https://bugs.torproject.org/11215
1271 BridgeDB's usage of gimp-captcha, which creates a local cache of
1272 CAPTCHA for use on the HTTP distributor, now supports timeouts. If
1273 a CAPTCHA is not solved within 30 minutes of being served to a
1274 client, the solution is invalid regardless of its correctness.
1276 * FIXES #11475 https://bugs.torproject.org/11475
1277 BridgeDB's email responder, up until this point, explained how to
1278 use bridges with Vidalia. It now uses the same help text as found
1279 at https://bridges.torproject.org/howto which explains how to
1280 enter bridges into TorLauncher (used by Tor Browser and Tails).
1282 * FIXES #11522 https://bugs.torproject.org/11522
1283 There were several errors and bugs in BridgeDB's email
1284 distributor. The entire system of server supporting BridgeDB's
1285 email distribution system was rewritten.
1287 * FIXES #11664 https://bugs.torproject.org/11664
1288 Due to changes in the Python language builtin `buffer` in Python3,
1289 which were backported to Python 2.7.6, but neither backported to
1290 Python 2.6.x nor to Python <= 2.7.5, BridgeDB's use of
1291 `io.StringIO` and `io.BytesIO` combined with buffers had to be
1292 revised to support both the new and old Python `buffer` APIs.
1294 * FIXES #11753 https://bugs.torproject.org/11753
1295 BridgeDB's emails should now be translated.
1296 - The translations system for BridgeDB, as well as the template
1297 system for emails, was completely rewritten. By default, email
1298 responses are in English. To receive an alternate translation,
1299 send an email to bridges+LOCALE@torproject.org, where "LOCALE" is
1301 - For example, to receive BridgeDB emails translated into
1302 Chinese, use mailto:bridges+zh_CN@torproject.org.
1303 - Or for Farsi translations, use mailto:bridges+fa@torproject.org.
1304 - For the full list of currently supported LOCALE codes, see
1305 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/isis/bridgedb.git/tree/HEAD:/lib/bridgedb/i18n/
1307 And includes the following general changes:
1308 * UPDATES the Italian (it) gettext file.
1309 Thanks to Francesca Ciceri.
1310 * ADD Welsh (cy) translations.
1311 Thanks to huwwaters and littlegreykida.
1312 * ADD Slovak (sk) translations.
1313 Thanks to Michelozzo and Svistwarrior273.
1314 * UPDATES the bridgedb.pot translation template file. All the new
1315 strings in the email and HTTP user interfaces will now need
1316 translation! To help out with translations, please see:
1317 https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/torproject/resource/2-bridgedb-bridgedb-pot/
1318 * FIXES several typos in the BridgeDB's code documentation.
1319 * ADDS code documentation for several previously undocumented modules.
1321 Changes in version 0.2.0 - 2014-04-19
1322 * FIXES #5232 Perform long running and blocking transactions in
1323 background threads. Primarily this moves bridge descriptor
1324 reparsing into another thread, which significantly increases
1325 the availability of BridgeDB.
1326 * FIXES #9119 BridgeDB's logger now automatically sanitises all email
1327 and IP addresses when the SAFELOGGING config option is enabled.
1328 * FIXES #9875 BridgeDB logger now has 100% unittest coverage.
1329 * FIXES #10803 Vidalia is no longer mentioned on
1330 https://bridges.torproject.org, and instead there are new
1331 instructions on how to enter bridges into TBB>=3.5 (with
1333 * FIXES #11346 The web interface now has a homepage link. By clicking
1334 "BridgeDB" in the upper left corner, users can go back to the
1335 start of TBB downloading and bridge selection instructions at
1336 https://bridges.torproject.org.
1337 * FIXES #11370 We were using an old (and deprecated) module when we
1338 created our email responses. Now we use the newer version.
1339 * FIXES #11377 CAPTCHAs on BridgeDB's HTTPS interface are now
1341 Thanks to Kostas Jakeliunas for the patch.
1342 * FIXES #11522 fixes several issues with encodings and exception
1343 handling in the email distributor.
1345 And includes the following general changes:
1346 * NEW interface design for https://bridges.torproject.org, including
1347 updated CSS stylesheets, fonts, and HTML templates. In
1348 particular, the https://bridges.torproject.org/options page has
1349 been redesigned completely.
1350 Thanks to Xengi for providing a modified design of the "roots"
1351 Tor Project logo, which is used to link to
1352 https://www.torproject.org.
1353 * CHANGES the TBB download link on the main web interface page to link
1354 to the new TBB-3.6.x-beta bundles, which include patches by
1355 David Fifield to unify TBB and PTTBB into one browser, so that
1356 Pluggable Transports (PTs) are only enabled when the user
1357 includes a bridge line which uses that PT.
1358 * FIXES plaintext responses on https://bridges.torproject.org,
1359 these can be requested by using the 'format' HTTP parameter,
1360 like so: https://bridges.torproject.org/bridges?format=plain
1361 * FIXES the logging of all lines of (including headers!) of incoming
1363 * FIXES logfile rotation so that the files are only reable/writable
1364 by the running process owner, and no other user.
1365 * CHANGES the data format used for encrypted-then-HMACed CAPTCHAs
1366 to assume that the HMAC is the first 20 bytes. Before we
1367 assumed that the HMAC was separated from the encrypted data
1368 with a ';' character, which causes intermittent issues with
1369 some encoding and CAPTCHA solution values.
1370 * REFACTORS some of the translations handling code, so that soon emails
1371 will be translated (see #7550), and
1372 https://bridges.torproject.org should have a "Select Language"
1374 * BUMPS leekspin version to 0.1.3.
1376 Changes in version 0.1.6 - 2014-03-26
1377 BridgeDB 0.1.6 includes fixes for the following bugs:
1378 * FIXES #11196 BridgeDB should use leekspin
1379 * FIXES #11218 ReCaptchaProtectedResource.checkSolution()
1380 doesn't expect a deferred
1381 * FIXES #11219 BridgeDB's twisted version doesn´t have a
1382 `t.w.client.HTTPConnectionPool` class
1383 * FIXES #11231 BridgeDB's txrecaptcha returns the "No bridges
1384 available!" page if 'captcha_response_field' is blank
1386 And includes the following general changes:
1387 * ADDS several new translations languages.
1389 Changes in version 0.1.5 - 2014-02-27
1390 BridgeDB 0.1.5 includes fixes for the following bugs:
1391 * FIXES #9264 Problem with transport lines in BridgeDB's bridge
1392 pool assignment files
1393 * FIXES #10809 reCAPTCHA on bridges.torproject.org are impossible
1395 * FIXES #10834 Configurable reCAPTCHA remoteip
1396 * FIXES #11127 reCaptcha verification is hardcoded to use
1399 And includes the following general changes:
1400 * CHANGES the way the client's IP address is reported to the
1401 reCaptcha API server. Previously, for each client request, a
1402 completely random IP address was generated, and BridgeDB lied to
1403 the reCaptcha server by sending this random IP and saying that it
1404 was the client's IP. With these changes, BridgeDB can be
1405 configured to report a static IP address (it's own IP) as the
1406 client's IP, in the hopes that the IP whitelisting used by
1407 reCaptcha makes the returned CAPTCHAs less impossible to solve.
1408 * ADDS the ability to use a local cache of CAPTCHAs created by
1409 scripting Gimp with Python. See:
1410 https://github.com/isislovecruft/gimp-captcha
1411 * USES TLS during CAPTCHA solution verification when using
1415 Changes in version 0.1.4 - 2014-02-21
1416 BridgeDB 0.1.4 includes fixes for the following bugs:
1417 * FIXES an RTL encoding issue in the "Step 2" text on index.html
1418 of the HTTPS distributor.
1421 Changes in version 0.1.3 - 2014-02-21
1422 BridgeDB 0.1.3 includes fixes for the following bugs:
1423 * FIXES #9264 Problem with transport lines in BridgeDB's bridge
1424 pool assignment files
1425 * FIXES a bug caused by attempts to convert descriptor digests
1426 which could not be parsed into hexadecimal.
1427 * FIXES a unicode decoding error within the bridgedb.persistent
1429 * REMOVES continuous integration testing for Python 2.6.
1431 Including the following general changes:
1432 * ADD volunteer page text for GSoC 2014 applications.
1435 Changes in version 0.1.2 - 2014-02-05
1436 BridgeDB 0.1.2 includes fixes for the following bugs:
1437 * FIXES #10811 BridgeDB's assignments.log files are not being updated
1440 Changes in version 0.1.1 - 2014-02-03
1441 BridgeDB 0.1.1 includes fixes for the following bugs:
1442 * FIXES #9127 Users can't ask for ipv6 bridges with the new bridgedb
1444 * FIXES #9988 Refactor BridgeDB's use of `sha` module to use `hashlib`
1445 * FIXES #10724 Most of the time spent in testing, as well as most
1446 of the time spent when "BridgeDB is down" (i.e. when I reply
1447 with "BridgeDB is single-threaded (see #5232) and is parsing
1448 millions of descriptors"), is within the same
1449 `bridgedb.Stability.addOrUpdateBridgeHistory()` function (see
1450 #10724). This function is pretty brutal on CPU and memory, is
1451 blocking, and it needs to runs thousands and thousands of
1452 times whenever BridgeDB is restarted (every half hour). The
1453 algorithm within that function has a time complexity increasing
1454 linearithmically relative to the number of bridges and timestamps
1455 already within the database. [0]
1456 This patch adds a config option to disable/enable running
1457 the `addOrUpdateBridgeHistory()` function.
1458 [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_complexity#Linearithmic_time
1459 * FIXES #10737 POST arguments to bridges.torproject.org are dropped if
1460 entering a CAPTCHA fails
1462 Including the following general changes:
1463 * ADDS A general simple error page to display rather than
1464 webserver tracebacks. See #6127.
1465 * MOVES The recently added BridgeDB specification file
1466 ('doc/bridge-db-spec.txt') to the torspec repo:
1467 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git
1468 * FIXES template caching for the web interface.
1471 Changes in version 0.1.0 - 2014-01-14
1472 BridgeDB 0.1.0 includes fixes for the following bugs:
1473 * FIXES #1606 Write a BridgeDB spec
1474 * FIXES #3573 bridges.torproject.org doesn't have a robots.txt
1475 * FIXES #6127 bridges.tpo runs in development mode
1476 * FIXES #9013 BridgeDB should pass pluggable transport
1477 shared-secrets to clients
1478 * FIXES #9157 Persian and Arabic should be right aligned on bridges.tpo
1479 * FIXES #9462 BridgeDB netstatus descriptor parsers need refactoring
1480 * FIXES #9959 BridgeDB seems to be missing English translations
1481 * FIXES #9865 Add automated code coverage report generation
1482 * FIXES #9872 Create a test runner for BridgeDB unittests
1483 * FIXES #9873 Convert BridgeDB's old unittests to use twisted.trial
1484 * FIXES #9937 Create fake non-sanitised bridge descriptors for
1485 BridgeDB testing purposes
1486 * FIXES #10333 Indexing list-like objects by 0L in
1487 Bridges.getConfigLine
1488 * FIXES #10446 BridgeDB is/was using a GeoIP module which is
1489 incompatible with virtualenvs
1490 * FIXES #10559 BridgeDB writes `keyid=` before fingerprints
1492 Including the following general changes:
1493 * ADD Numerous unittests and automated continuous integration testing.
1494 * ADD Patches by sysrqb to correctly render right-to-left languages.
1495 * FIXES fallback languages for translations.
1496 * ADD Sphinx makefiles, substantial amounts of documentation.
1497 * ADD Documentations builds (currently at
1498 https://para.noid.cat/bridgedb)
1501 Changes in version 0.0.1 - 2013-08-20
1502 BridgeDB 0.0.1 includes fixes for the following bugs:
1503 * FIXES #5332 Update BridgeDB documentation with deployment
1505 * FIXES #9156 BridgeDB: Users try to add obfsbridges to their
1507 These commits were added to fix a compatibility issue with
1508 Vidalia, though they may be reverted to switch back to the old
1509 behaviour of returning bridge lines in the form:
1510 Bridge [transport_method] address:port [keyid=fingerprint] [K=v] […]
1511 in order to work with torrc files and the new TBB-3.x packages
1512 which use TorLauncher instead of Vidalia.
1513 * PARTIAL FIX #9264 Problem with transport lines in BridgeDB's
1514 bridge pool assignment files.
1515 * FIXES #9425 Create and document a better BridgeDB (re)deployment
1518 Including the following general changes:
1519 * UPDATE translations files with finished files from Transifex for
1520 the strings for the newly-refactored web interface created by
1522 * ADD an automatic version-numbering system as part of developing
1523 a better deployment strategy.
1524 * CHANGE setup.py script to automatically install Python-based
1525 dependencies from requirements.txt.
1526 * REMOVE MANIFEST.in and put equivalent 'include' directives into
1527 setup.py (the less places we have for manually keeping track of
1529 * REMOVE the "bridge " prefix from the lines returned on the web
