Changes in version 0.1.2.17 - 2007-08-30
+ Tor 0.1.2.17 features a new Vidalia version in the Windows and OS
+ X bundles. Vidalia 0.0.14 makes authentication required for the
+ ControlPort in the default configuration, which addresses important
+ security risks. Everybody who uses Vidalia (or another controller)
+ should upgrade.
+
+ In addition, this Tor update fixes major load balancing problems with
+ path selection, which should speed things up a lot once many people
+ have upgraded.
+
o Major bugfixes (security):
- We removed support for the old (v0) control protocol. It has been
deprecated since Tor 0.1.1.1-alpha, and keeping it secure has

Changes in version 0.1.2.16 - 2007-08-01
+ Tor 0.1.2.16 fixes a critical security vulnerability that allows a
+ remote attacker in certain situations to rewrite the user's torrc
+ configuration file. This can completely compromise anonymity of users
+ in most configurations, including those running the Vidalia bundles,
+ TorK, etc. Or worse.
+
o Major security fixes:
- Close immediately after missing authentication on control port;
do not allow multiple authentication attempts.
Changes in version 0.1.2.15 - 2007-07-17
+ Tor 0.1.2.15 fixes several crash bugs, fixes some anonymity-related
+ problems, fixes compilation on BSD, and fixes a variety of other
+ bugs. Everybody should upgrade.
+
o Major bugfixes (compilation):
- Fix compile on FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD. Oops.
