updated packages

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,
  

As highlighted in the 0.2.2.1-alpha release notes, the Vidalia Bundle for OS X includes some major changes. Many of these are for ease of use and user experience improvements. The release of OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) gave me a fine excuse to release the improvements.

It's best to un-install Tor/Vidalia and then install this new bundle; rather than upgrade. If you want to upgrade, you'll need to update the paths for Tor and Polipo in the Vidalia Settings window.

There has been a lot of testing since this test release of the drag and drop installer for OS X in January. The main goal was to make installation far easier, less error prone, and keep all of the bundle in a single directory for easier configuration and un-installation. read more »

Thanks to an anonymous donor for the working powerpc hardware, I was able to make 0.2.0.35, 0.2.1.17-rc, and Vidalia 0.1.15 packages on OS X 10.3.9 (Panther) this evening.

They are available in the usual places, such as https://torproject.org/download

Thanks for your patience.
