Tor 0.3.3.2-alpha is released: bugfixes and DoS prevention

by nickm | February 10, 2018

Tor 0.3.3.2-alpha is the second alpha in the 0.3.3.x series. It introduces a mechanism to handle the high loads that many relay operators have been reporting recently. It also fixes several bugs in older releases. If this new code proves reliable, we plan to backport it to older supported release series.

Tor 0.3.3.1-alpha is released: back to unstable development!

by nickm | January 25, 2018

Hi!  There's a new alpha release available for download.  If you build Tor from source, you can download the source code for 0.3.3.1-alpha from the usual place on the website.  Packages should be available over the coming weeks, with a new alpha Tor Browser release some time in February.

Remember, this is an alpha release: you should only run this if you'd like to find and report more bugs than usual.

Tor 0.3.3.1-alpha is the first release in the 0.3.3.x series. It adds several new features to Tor, including several improvements to bootstrapping, and support for an experimental "vanguards" feature to resist guard discovery attacks. This series also includes better support for applications that need to embed Tor or manage v3 onion services.

Tor 0.3.2.9 is released: We have a new stable series!

After months of hard work, there's a new stable Tor release series available!  If you build Tor from source, you can now download the source code for Tor 0.3.2.9 from the usual place on the website. Packages should become available over the coming days, including (we hope) a Tor Browser release before the end of the month.

Tor 0.3.2.9 is the first stable release in the 0.3.2 series.
