vidalia release

On November 2, we released Vidalia 0.2.6. Primarily a bugfix release for OS X issues. The changed items are:

• Remove the erroneous comma in the default vidalia.conf in the
  Mac OS X drag-and-drop bundle, since we now dump whatever the
  user types into a QString rather than parsing it into a
  QStringList.
• Updated the Arabic, Russian and Slovenian translations.

Packages for OS X and Windows can be found at https://www.torproject.org/vidalia/.

On October 14th we released Vidalia 0.2.5. Changes are:

• Add support in the Network settings page for configuring the
  Socks4Proxy and Socks5Proxy* options that were added in
  Tor 0.2.2.1-alpha. Patch from Christopher Davis.
• Add a "Automatically distribute my bridge address" checkbox (enabled
  by default) to the bridge relay settings options. (Ticket #524)
• Add ports 7000 and 7001 to the list of ports excluded by the IRC
  category in the exit policy configuration tab. (Ticket #517)
• Add a context menu for highlighted event items in the "Basic" message
  log view that allows the user to copy the selected item text to the
  clipboard.
• Maybe fix a time conversion bug that could result in Vidalia
  displaying the wrong uptime for a relay in the network map.
• Stop trying to enforce proper quoting and escaping of arguments to be
  given to the proxy executable (e.g., Polipo). Now the user is on their read more »

• Add a "Find Bridges Now" button that will attempt to automatically
  download a set of bridge addresses and add them to the list of bridges
  in the Network settings page.
• Add support for building with Google's Breakpad crash reporting
  library (currently disabled by default).
• Show or hide the "Who has used my bridge recently?" link along with
  the other bridge-related widgets when the user toggles the relay mode
  in the Network settings page. (Ticket #480)
• Tolerate bridge addresses that do not specify a port number, since Tor
  now defaults to using port 443 in such cases.
• Add support for viewing the map as a full screen widget when built
  with KDE Marble support.
