Changes in version 0.2.5.5-alpha - 2014-06-1?
Tor 0.2.5.5-alpha fixes a wide variety of remaining issues in the Tor
0.2.5.x release series, including a couple of DoS issues, some
performance regressions, and a large number of bugs affecting the
performance regressions, a large number of bugs affecting the
Linux seccomp2 sandbox code, and various other bugfixes. It also adds
diagnostic bugfixes for a few tricky issues that we're trying to
track down.

connection. Now, we randomize the intervals by adding up to 50% of
their base value, we measure the length of time since connection
last had at least one circuit, and we we allow connections to

known ORs to remain open a little longer (15 minutes instead of 3
minutes minimum). These changes should improve Tor's resistance
against some kinds of traffic analysis, and lower some overhead
