After months of work, we have a new stable release series! If you build Tor from source, you can download the source code for 0.4.1.5 on the website. Packages should be available within the next several weeks, with a new Tor Browser in early September.

This is the first stable release in the 0.4.1.x series. This series adds experimental circuit-level padding, authenticated SENDME cells to defend against certain attacks, and several performance improvements to save on CPU consumption. It fixes bugs in bootstrapping and v3 onion services. It also includes numerous smaller features and bugfixes on earlier versions.

Per our support policy, we will support the 0.4.1.x series for nine months, or until three months after the release of a stable 0.4.2.x: whichever is longer. If you need longer-term support, please stick with 0.3.5.x, which will we plan to support until Feb 2022.

Below are the changes since 0.4.0.5. For a list of only the changes since 0.4.1.4-rc, see the ChangeLog file.

Changes in version 0.4.1.5 - 2019-08-20

• Directory authority changes:
  • The directory authority "dizum" has a new IP address. Closes ticket 31406.
• Major features (circuit padding):
  • Onion service clients now add padding cells at the start of their INTRODUCE and RENDEZVOUS circuits, to make those circuits' traffic look more like general purpose Exit traffic. The overhead for this is 2 extra cells in each direction for RENDEZVOUS circuits, and 1 extra upstream cell and 10 downstream cells for INTRODUCE circuits. This feature is only enabled when also supported by the circuit's middle node. (Clients may specify fixed middle nodes with the MiddleNodes option, and may force-disable this feature with the CircuitPadding option.) Closes ticket 28634.

After months of work, we have a new stable release series! If you build Tor from source, you can download the source code for 0.4.0.5 on the website. Packages should be available within the next several weeks, with a new Tor Browser likely later this month.

This is the first stable release in the 0.4.0.x series. It contains improvements for power management and bootstrap reporting, as well as preliminary backend support for circuit padding to prevent some kinds of traffic analysis. It also continues our work in refactoring Tor for long-term maintainability.

We have a new stable release today. If you build Tor from source, you can download the source code for Tor 0.3.4.9 from the download page on the website. Packages should be available within the next several weeks, with a new Tor Browser by mid-December.

Tor 0.3.4.9 is the second stable release in its series; it backports numerous fixes, including a fix for a bandwidth management bug that was causing memory exhaustion on relays. Anyone running an earlier version of Tor 0.3.4.9 should upgrade.

Changes in version 0.3.4.9 - 2018-11-02

• Major bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.5.3-alpha):
  • Fix compilation on ARM (and other less-used CPUs) when compiling with OpenSSL before 1.1. Fixes bug 27781; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
• Major bugfixes (mainloop, bootstrap, backport from 0.3.5.3-alpha):
  • Make sure Tor bootstraps and works properly if only the ControlPort is set. Prior to this fix, Tor would only bootstrap when a client port was set (Socks, Trans, NATD, DNS or HTTPTunnel port). Fixes bug 27849; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.

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.

Hello, everyone!

We have a new stable release today. If you build Tor from source, you can
download the source code for 0.3.3.7 on the website.  Packages
should be available within the next several weeks, with a new Tor Browser over the next several weeks.

Tor 0.3.3.7 backports several changes from the 0.3.4.x series, including fixes for bugs affecting compatibility and stability.

Changes in version 0.3.3.7 - 2018-06-12

• Directory authority changes:
  • Add an IPv6 address for the "dannenberg" directory authority. Closes ticket 26343.
• Minor features (geoip):
  • Update geoip and geoip6 to the June 7 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database. Closes ticket 26351.

After months of work, we have a new stable release series! If you build Tor from source, you can download the source code for 0.3.3.6 on the website. Packages should be available within the next several weeks, with a new Tor Browser by some time in June.

Today, we made several new stable Tor releases.  Together, they fix an issue in directory authorities, and backport a feature to improve relays' resistance of denial-of-service attacks. In addition, the 0.3.2.10 release fixes a security bug affecting relays running earlier 0.3.2.x versions.

There are new stable releases today, fixing the following security issues.  For more information about the issues, follow the links from from https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TROVE

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.
