+ o Major bugfixes:
+
+ - Many SOCKS5 clients, when configured to offer a username/password,
+ offer both username/password authentication and "no authentication".
+ Tor had previously preferred no authentication, but this was
+ problematic when trying to make applications get proper stream
+ isolation with IsolateSOCKSAuth. Now, on any SOCKS port with
+ IsolateSOCKSAuth turned on (which is the default), Tor selects
+ username/password authentication if it's offered. If this confuses your
+ application, you can disable it on a per-SOCKSPort basis via
+ PreferSOCKSNoAuth. Fixes bug 8117; bugfix on 0.2.3.3-alpha.
