Thread: Tor 0.2.1.8 (alpha)

  1. #1

    Tor 0.2.1.8 (alpha)

    Changes:

    Tor 0.2.1.8-alpha fixes some crash bugs in earlier alpha releases,
    builds better on unusual platforms like Solaris and old OS X, and fixes
    a variety of other issues.

    Changes in version 0.2.1.8-alpha - 2008-12-08
    Major features:

    * New DirPortFrontPage option that takes an html file and publishes
    it as "/" on the DirPort. Now relay operators can provide a
    disclaimer without needing to set up a separate webserver. There's
    a sample disclaimer in contrib/tor-exit-notice.html.

    Security fixes:

    * When the client is choosing entry guards, now it selects at most
    one guard from a given relay family. Otherwise we could end up with
    all of our entry points into the network run by the same operator.
    Suggested by Camilo Viecco. Fix on 0.1.1.11-alpha.

    Major bugfixes:

    * Fix a DOS opportunity during the voting signature collection process
    at directory authorities. Spotted by rovv. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x.
    * Fix a possible segfault when establishing an exit connection. Bugfix
    on 0.2.1.5-alpha.

    Minor bugfixes:

    * Get file locking working on win32. Bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha. Fixes
    bug 859.
    * Made Tor a little less aggressive about deleting expired
    certificates. Partial fix for bug 854.
    * Stop doing unaligned memory access that generated bus errors on
    sparc64. Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha. Fix for bug 862.
    * Fix a crash bug when changing EntryNodes from the controller. Bugfix
    on 0.2.1.6-alpha. Fix for bug 867. Patched by Sebastian.
    * Make USR2 log-level switch take effect immediately. Bugfix on
    0.1.2.8-beta.
    * If one win32 nameserver fails to get added, continue adding the
    rest, and don't automatically fail.

    Is this Tor bundle associated with the Vidalia bundle or do you know if the Vidalia bundle would include this latest version of Tor??
    I am imagining so, yes?

    Edit: Never mind, I just found out after downloading it.
