Changes in version 0.2.5.10 - 2014-10-xx
Tor 0.2.5.10 is the first stable release in the 0.2.5 series.
XXXX Write a paragraph saying it's got these things XXXX
- deprecates some old versions of the tor protocol,
- defends against more dos attacks
- improves pluggable transport usability
- adds new controller features
- modest speedups to relays under heavy load
- seccomp2 sandbox (linux only)
- improves error reporting and testability
- better BSD transparent proxy support
- improved IPv6 DNS support
- various new security features.
- numerous bugfixes
It adds several new security features, including improved DoS
resistance for relays, new compiler hardening options, and a
system-call sandbox for hardened installations on Linux (requires
seccomp2). The controller protocol has several new features, resolving
IPv6 addresses should work better than before, and relays should be a
little more CPU-efficient. We've added support for more (Open,Free)BSD
transparent proxy types. We've improved the build system and testing
intrastructure to allow unit testing of more parts of the Tor
codebase. Finally, we've addressed several nagging pluggable transport
usability issues, and included numerous other small bugfixes and
features mentioned below.
o Deprecated versions:
