[tor-dev] New Shadow versions now available

[Rob Jansen]

Hello,

Shadow versions 1.11.0 and 1.11.1 are now released!
https://github.com/shadow/shadow/releases/tag/v1.11.0
https://github.com/shadow/shadow/releases/tag/v1.11.1

These versions represent a huge engineering effort to provide transparent support for plug-ins that use pthreads and that make blocking IO or system calls. We are using a fork of GNU portable threads (http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/) to enable this thread and blocking support. Shadow now literally just calls `tor_main()` and handles the rest internally.

More details can be found in the release notes here:

All the best,
Rob
