Design
We continued enhancements to the Chinese and Russian Tor website translations. We also have a second Chinese translator for the website now, so hopefully we will get more prompt translations there. Our Farsi translation from this summer is slowly becoming obsolete; we should solve that at some point.

We added a new "30 second summary" web page for Tor:
https://www.torproject.org/30seconds
and a new "easy download" page since the original is so complex:

In the upcoming Vidalia 0.2.0 development release:
- Support changing UI languages without having to restart Vidalia.
- Updated Czech, Polish, Romanian and Turkish translations.

In the upcoming Vidalia 0.1.10 stable release:
- Add a prettier dialog for prompting people for their control port password that also includes a checkbox for whether the user wants Vidalia to remember the entered password, a Help button, and a Reset button (Windows only).
- Fix a crash bug that occurred when the user clicks 'Clear' in the message log toolbar followed by 'Save All'.
- Uncheck the Torbutton options by default in the Windows bundle installer if Firefox is not installed.
- Add an Windows bundle installer page that warns the user that they should install Firefox, if it looks like they haven't already done so.

It looks like Australia is soon to be joining the ranks of countries with a nationwide filtering regime:

Proposals
We finished the first iteration of our auto-updater spec:

We detail our current auto-updater progress below. read more »

It appears Qt-4.3.3 has a bug that is causing Vidalia to crash when the list of Tor nodes refreshes and is sorted. The current 0.1.2.19-stable and 0.2.0.17-alpha bundles for OSX are built against Qt-4.3.3.

I've downgraded the build hosts to Qt-4.3.2. The rebuilt OSX vidalia-bundle packages for both 0.1.2.19-stable and 0.2.0.17-alpha are available as:

• Bundle with 0.1.2.19-stable and Vidalia 16a
• Bundle with 0.2.0.17-alpha and Vidalia 16a

These bundles contain Vidalia compiled with Qt-4.3.2. This makes Vidalia happy again.
