Tor 0.3.1.8 is the second stable release in the 0.3.1 series. It includes several bugfixes, including a bugfix for a crash issue that had affected relays under memory pressure. It also adds a new directory authority, Bastet.
Alex Færøy, Nick Mathewson, and I have just released a source tarball for a new Tor alpha (sig). This is the first time for Alex and me making a Tor release! We're hoping that rotating some of our more tedious responsibilities among all the developers on the Network Team will relieve unfair pressure on people like Nick who pour enormous amounts of time and effort into these tasks. You can help us out by testing the alpha, and please report any issues you encounter!
We’re looking for technical people to come help us test next-gen onion services. They’ve been fully merged into tor-0.3.2.1-alpha, and the latest version of Tor Browser supports them. We're still in the testing phase, though -- keep an eye on this blog for the official launch.
This week, The Tor Project -- with support from the Open Technology Fund and HackerOne -- paid out $3,000 (the highest bounty) to a developer who reported a potential proxy bypass bug.
There's a new stable Tor release series available! After months of work, you can now download the source code for Tor 0.3.1.7 from the usual place on the website. Packages should become available over the coming days, including (we hope) a Tor Browser release before the end of the month.
Tor 0.3.1.7 is the first stable release in the 0.3.1 series.
