Tor 0.2.6.5-rc 发布，网络安全软件

Tor 0.2.6.5-rc 发布，此版本是 0.2.6 系列的第二个 RC 版本，也许就是最后一个 RC 版本。此版本包括一些 bug 修复。

Tor 0.2.6.5-rc 更新日志- 2015-03-18

• Major bugfixes (client):

• Avoid crashing when making certain configuration option changes on clients. Fixes bug 15245; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha. Reported by "anonym".

• Major bugfixes (pluggable transports):

• Initialize the extended OR Port authentication cookie before launching pluggable transports. This prevents a race condition that occured when server-side pluggable transports would cache the authentication cookie before it has been (re)generated. Fixes bug 15240; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.

• Major bugfixes (portability):

• Do not crash on startup when running on Solaris. Fixes a bug related to our fix for 9495; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. Reported by "ruebezahl".

• Minor features (heartbeat):

• On relays, report how many connections we negotiated using each version of the Tor link protocols. This information will let us know if removing support for very old versions of the Tor protocols is harming the network. Closes ticket 15212.

• Code simplification and refactoring:

• Refactor main loop to extract the 'loop' part. This makes it easier to run Tor under Shadow. Closes ticket 15176.

Tor 是一个帮助你抵御流量分析的软件项目， 流量分析是一种对网络的监视行为。Tor 将你的通信通过一个由遍及全球的志愿者运行的中继（relay）所组成的分布式网络转发， 以此来保护你的安全：它令监视你的 Internet 连接的那些人无法知道你所访问的站点， 它还令你所访问的站点无法知道你的物理位置。Tor 能与现有的许多应用程序配合工作， 包括 Web 浏览器、即时通讯客户端、远程登录和基于 TCP 协议的其他应用程序。
