tor 0.2.5.7-rc is out
---------------------
-Nick Mathewson announced [XXX] a candidate for the seventh release in
-tor’s 0.2.5.x series. This version “fixes several regressions from
-earlier in the 0.2.5.x release series, and some long-standing bugs
-related to ORPort reachability testing and failure to send CREATE
-cells”; relay operators running it will also receive a warning if they
-try to configure a hidden service on the same process as their relay,
-as the public nature of much information about Tor relays can help
-identify services running on the same machine [XXX]. As ever, you can
-read the full list of improvements and fixes in Nick’s announcement,
-and download the source code from the Tor Project’s distribution
-directory [XXX].
