Tor 0.2.6.3-alpha is the third (and hopefully final) alpha release in
the 0.2.6.x series. It introduces features for running Tor instances
that on more kinds of sockets, makes it harder to accidentally run an
that [VERB?] on more kinds of sockets, makes it harder to accidentally run an
exit, improves our multithreading backend, incorporates several fixes

advertise themselves on the network. Closes ticket 13555.
o Major features (security, unix domain sockets):
- Tor can now expose a SOCKS proxy over an AF_UNIX Unix Domain
Socket. This allows client applications to Tor without having
creating AF_INET or AF_INET6 sockets. If an application has
permission to connect to Tor's AF_UNIX socket, it can communicate
with Tor as if it were an other SOCKS proxy. This should allow
high risk applications to use Tor while completely disabling their
ability to make non-Tor connections. To create a socket of this
type, use "SocksPort unix:/path/to/socket". Closes ticket 12585.
- Allow SocksPort to be an AF_UNIX Unix Domain Socket. Now high risk
applications can reach Tor without having to create AF_INET or
AF_INET6 sockets, meaning they can completely disable their ability
to make non-Tor network connections. To create a socket of this
type, use "SocksPort unix:/path/to/socket". Implements ticket 12585.
- Support mapping hidden service virtual ports to AF_UNIX sockets on
suitable platforms. The syntax is "HiddenServicePort 80
socket:/path/to/socket". Resolves ticket #11485.
