Changes in version 0.2.6.6 - 2015-0?-??
Tor 0.2.6.6 is the first stable release in the 0.2.6 series.
It adds numerous safety, security, correctness, and performance
improvements. Client programs can be configured to use more kinds of
sockets, AutomapHosts works better, the multithreading backend is
improved, cell transmission is refactored, test coverage is much
higher, more denial-of-service attacks are handled, guard selection is
improved to handle long-term guards better, pluggable transports
should work a bit better, and some annoying hidden service performance
bugs should be addressed.
o Minor bugfixes (portability):
- Use the correct datatype in the SipHash-2-4 function to prevent
compilers from assuming any sort of alignment. Fixes bug 15436;
bugfix on 0.2.5.3-alpha.
Changes in version 0.2.6.5-rc - 2015-03-18
Tor 0.2.6.5-rc is the second and (hopefully) last release candidate in
the 0.2.6. It fixes a small number of bugs found in 0.2.6.4-rc.

will work on systems that have variable-length struct ifreq, for
example Mac OS X.
