Changes in version 0.2.6.1-alpha - 2014-??-??
o New compiler and system requirements:
- Tor 0.2.6.x requires that your compiler support more of the C99
language standard than before. The 'configure' script now detects
whether your compiler supports C99 mid-block declarations and
designated initializers. If it does not, Tor will not compile.
We may revisit this requirement if it turns out that a significant
number of people need to build Tor with compilers that don't
bother implementing a 15-year-old standard. Closes ticket 13233.
- Tor no longer supports systems without threading support. When we
began working on Tor, there were several systems that didn't have
threads, or where the thread support wasn't able to run the
threads of a single process on multiple CPUs. That no longer
holds: every system where Tor needs to run well now has threading
support. Resolves ticket 12439.
o Removed platform support:
- We no longer include special code to build on Windows CE; as far
as we know, nobody has used Tor on Windows CE in a very long time.
Closes ticket 11446.

initialization. See proposal 181 for details. Implements
ticket 13211.
o Major features (directory system):
- Upon receiving an unparseable directory object,if its digest
matches what we expected, then don't try to download it
again. Previously, when we got a descriptor we didn't like, we
would keep trying to download it over and over. Closes
ticket 11243.

Previously, when we got a descriptor we didn't like, we would keep
trying to download it over and over. Closes ticket 11243.
o Major features (sample torrc):
- Add a new, infrequently-changed "torrc.minimal". This file
is similar to torrc.sample, but it will
change as infrequently as possible, for the benefit of users
whose systems prompt them for intervention whenever a default
configuration file is changed. Making this change allows us to
update torrc.sample to be a more generally useful "sample torrc".
