Vidalia 0.2.4 is released. The OS X -alpha bundles are updated to fix a bug in the default "bootstrap" vidalia.conf file that pointed to a non-existent Polipo configuration file, causing Polipo to fail on startup.

• Split the message log into "Basic" and "Advanced" views. The
  "Advanced" view contains standard log messages from Tor, while the new
  experimental "Basic" view displays status events received from Tor.
  (Ticket #265)
• Apply an application-global stylesheet on OS X that forces all tree
  widgets in Vidalia to use the 12pt font recommended by Apple's human
  interface guidelines.
• Add an OSX_FORCE_32BIT CMake option that can be used to force a 32-bit
  build on Mac OS X versions that default to 64-bit builds (e.g., Snow
  Leopard), if only 32-bit versions of the Qt libraries are available.
• Fix a bug introduced in 0.2.3 that prevented Vidalia from correctly
  

On August 27th, we released Vidalia 0.2.3. This fixes some more bugs with "Who has used by bridge" functionality and switches to Qt signals for event handling.

• Create the data directory before trying to copy over the default
  Vidalia configuration file from inside the application bundle on Mac
  OS X. Affects only OS X drag-and-drop installer users without a
  previous Vidalia installation.
• Change all Tor event handling to use Qt's signals and slots mechanism
  instead of custom QEvent subclasses.
• Fix another bug that resulted in the "Who has used my bridge?" link
  initially being visible when the user clicks "Setup Relaying" from
  the control panel if they are running a non-bridge relay.
  (Ticket #509, reported by "vrapp")
• Always hide the "Who has used my bridge?" link when Tor isn't running,
  

One of the most requested upgrades to Vidalia is a better map of the world. We looked into a few different technologies and decided on KDE's Marble interface. Marble enables an accurate mapping of nodes according to their geolocation, allows for future enhancements such as "click a country to start or end your Tor circuit", and plugins for extra data views. This also gives us the ability to use Qt's Webkit browser to display custom information about nodes, circuits, or anything else in a pop-up window. An anonymous funder covered the costs involved in developing this feature. We thank them for their support. read more »
