New Release: Tor 0.3.5.2-alpha
Tor 0.3.5.2-alpha fixes several bugs in 0.3.5.1-alpha, including one that made Tor think it had run out of sockets. Anybody running a relay or an onion service on 0.3.5.1-alpha should upgrade.

New release: Tor 0.3.5.1-alpha
There's a new alpha release available for download. If you build Tor from source, you can download the source code for 0.3.5.1-alpha from the usual place on the website. Packages should be available over the coming weeks, with a new alpha Tor Browser release some time this week.
Remember, this is an alpha release: you should only run this if you'd like to find and report more bugs than usual.
Tor 0.3.5.1-alpha is the first release of the 0.3.5.x series. It adds client authorization for modern (v3) onion services, improves bootstrap reporting, begins reorganizing Tor's codebase, adds optional support for NSS in place of OpenSSL, and much more.
Changes in version 0.3.5.1-alpha - 2018-09-18
- Major features (onion services, UI change):
- For a newly created onion service, the default version is now 3. Tor still supports existing version 2 services, but the operator now needs to set "HiddenServiceVersion 2" in order to create a new version 2 service. For existing services, Tor now learns the version by reading the key file. Closes ticket 27215.
- Major features (relay, UI change):
- Relays no longer run as exits by default. If the "ExitRelay" option is auto (or unset), and no exit policy is specified with ExitPolicy or ReducedExitPolicy, we now treat ExitRelay as 0. Previously in this case, we allowed exit traffic and logged a warning message. Closes ticket 21530. Patch by Neel Chauhan.
- Tor now validates that the ContactInfo config option is valid UTF- 8 when parsing torrc. Closes ticket 27428.
New Release: Tor 0.3.4.8 (also other stable updates: 0.2.9.17, 0.3.2.12, and 0.3.3.10)
After months of work, we have a new stable release series! If you build Tor from source, you can download the source code for 0.3.4.8 on the download page of the website. Packages should be available within the next several weeks, with a new Tor Browser by some time next week.
New Release: Tor 0.3.4.7-rc
Tor 0.3.4.7-rc fixes several small compilation, portability, and correctness issues in previous versions of Tor. This version is a release candidate: if no serious bugs are found, we expect that the stable 0.3.4 release will be (almost) the same as this release.
New Release: Tor 0.3.4.6-rc
There's a new alpha release available for download. If you build Tor from source, you can download the source code for Tor 0.3.4.6-rc from the download page on the website. Packages should be available over the coming weeks, with a new alpha Tor Browser release by some time next month.
Remember, this is an alpha release: you should only run this if you'd like to find and report more bugs than usual.
Tor 0.3.4.6-rc fixes several small compilation, portability, and correctness issues in previous versions of Tor. This version is a release candidate: if no serious bugs are found, we expect that the stable 0.3.4 release will be (almost) the same as this release.
Changes in version 0.3.4.6-rc - 2018-08-06
- Major bugfixes (event scheduler):
- When we enable a periodic event, schedule it in the event loop rather than running it immediately. Previously, we would re-run periodic events immediately in the middle of (for example) changing our options, with unpredictable effects. Fixes bug 27003; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
- Minor features (compilation):
- When building Tor, prefer to use Python 3 over Python 2, and more recent (contemplated) versions over older ones. Closes ticket 26372.
Tor 0.3.3.8 is released!
Hello, everyone!
We have a new stable release today. If you build Tor from source, you can download the source code for 0.3.3.8 on the website.

Changes in version 0.3.3.8 - 2018-07-09

- Make sure that failing tests in Rust will actually cause the build to fail: previously, they were ignored. Fixes bug 26258; bugfix on 0.3.3.4-alpha.
