March 2010 Progress Report

New Releases
On March 7th, we released the latest in the -alpha series, Tor 0.2.2.10-alpha. Tor 0.2.2.10-alpha fixes a regression introduced in 0.2.2.9-alpha that could prevent relays from guessing their IP address correctly. It also starts the groundwork for another client-side performance boost, since currently we're not making efficient use of relays that have both the Guard flag and the Exit flag.

o Major bugfixes:
- Fix a regression from our patch for bug 1244 that caused relays
to guess their IP address incorrectly if they didn't set Address
in their torrc and/or their address fails to resolve. Bugfix on
0.2.2.9-alpha; fixes bug 1269.

o Major features (performance):
- Directory authorities now compute consensus weightings that instruct
clients how to weight relays flagged as Guard, Exit, Guard+Exit,
and no flag. Clients that use these weightings will distribute read more »

January 2010 Progress Report

New releases, new hires, new funding
On January 19, 2010 we released the latest in the -stable series, Tor 0.2.1.22-stable.
Tor 0.2.1.22 fixes a critical privacy problem in bridge directory authorities -- it would tell you its whole history of bridge descriptors if you make the right directory request. This stable update also rotates two of the seven v3 directory authority keys and locations. read more »

  • update Vidalia to 0.2.2
  • compile OpenSSL 0.9.8k with Visual C to make dlls
  • update Pidgin to 2.6.1

archive.torproject.org is now live

By popular request, we've created http://archive.torproject.org/. It serves as an archive of all released versions of Tor since 2004. And as a repository of all relay descriptors and directory authority consensus files published since 2004.

This is the place to get current and past releases of:

  • the Tor source code,
  • Vidalia itself,
  • vidalia bundles for Microsoft Windows and Apple OS X,
  • our various rpm packages,
  • the Tor Browser Bundle and Tor IM Browser Bundle,
  • TorVM,
  • published consensus files,
  • published server descriptors,
  • and, other Tor network related files like extra-info and statuses.

The files are offered via http://archive.torproject.org/, rsync (archive.torproject.org::), and hidden service, http://7ofilo7lqgiub36u.onion.

The package archive is around 20GB. The directory authority archive is around 23GB. We'll soon be listing mirrors of this site as well.

Enjoy.

Our email autoresponder, gettor , received a number of patches to deal with dkim issues, including finding a dkim bug that prevented yahoo email users from fetching Tor. This bug has been fixed. Additionally, we've whitelisted some domains where we read more »

January 2009 Progress Report

New releases, new hires, new funding

Tor 0.2.1.10-alpha (released January 6) fixes two major bugs in bridge
relays (one that would make the bridge relay not so useful if it had
DirPort set to 0, and one that could let an attacker learn a little bit
of information about the bridge's users), and a bug that would cause your
Tor relay to ignore a circuit create request it can't decrypt (rather
than reply with an error). It also fixes a wide variety of other bugs.

Tor 0.2.1.11-alpha (released Jan 20) finishes fixing the "if your Tor is
off for a week it will take a long time to bootstrap again" bug. It also
fixes an important security-related bug reported by Ilja van Sprundel. You
should upgrade. (We'll send out more details about the bug once people
have had some time to upgrade.)

August 2008 Progress Report

Releases

Vidalia 0.1.7 (released August 2) fixes a bug that caused Vidalia to not recognize Tor's version correctly in Tor 0.2.0.x, adds an "nsh2po" tool that helps Pootle translate the Vidalia bundle installer strings, adds "TZ=UTC" to the BrowserExecutable's environment variables when launched via Vidalia, and updates the Czech, French, and German translations.
http://trac.vidalia-project.net/browser/vidalia/tags/vidalia-0.1.7/CHANG...

Incognito 2008.1 (released August 2) is a Gentoo-based Tor LiveCD. This new release adds a "walkthrough" which will launch on startup; adds language support for Arabic, Green, Hebrew, Russian, and Swedish; improves the support for Chinese and Japanese fonts; adds support for VMWare and partial support for VirtualBox; switches to Tor 0.2.0.30 and Torbutton 1.2.0; and adds some new privacy-supporting software and removes some applications that are too likely to leak private information.
https://svn.torproject.org/svn/incognito/trunk/ChangeLog

Tor 0.2.1.3-alpha (released August 3) implements most of the pieces to prevent infinite-length circuit attacks (see proposal 110); fixes a bug that might cause exit relays to corrupt streams they send back; allows address patterns (e.g. 255.128.0.0/16) to appear in ExcludeNodes and ExcludeExitNodes config options; and fixes a big pile of bugs.
http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Aug-2008/msg00039.html

Tor 0.2.1.4-alpha (released August 4) fixes a pair of crash bugs in 0.2.1.3-alpha.

Tor Browser Bundle 1.1.2 (released August 9) updates Vidalia to version 0.1.6, updates Firefox to 2.0.0.16, updates Tor to 0.2.1.4-alpha, updates Torbutton to 1.2.0, and disables the TZ=UTC environment variable trick since Vidalia 0.1.7 now handles that for us.
