Changes in version 0.2.4.17-rc - 2013-09-0x Changes in version 0.2.4.17-rc - 2013-09-05
Tor 0.2.4.17-rc is the third release candidate for the Tor 0.2.4.x
series. It adds an emergency step to help us tolerate the massive
influx of users: 0.2.4 clients using the new (faster and safer) "NTor"
circuit-level handshakes now effectively jump the queue compared to
the 0.2.3 clients using "TAP" handshakes. This release also fixes a
big bug hindering bridge reachability tests.
