o Major features (security, unix domain sockets):
- - Tor can now expose a SOCKS proxy over an AF_UNIX Unix Domain
- Socket. This allows client applications to Tor without having
- creating AF_INET or AF_INET6 sockets. If an application has
- permission to connect to Tor's AF_UNIX socket, it can communicate
- with Tor as if it were an other SOCKS proxy. This should allow
- high risk applications to use Tor while completely disabling their
