Changes in version 0.2.6.3-alpha - 2015-02-?? Changes in version 0.2.6.3-alpha - 2015-02-2?
blah blah blah Tor 0.2.6.3-alpha is the third (and hopefully final) alpha release in
the 0.2.6.x series. It introduces features for running Tor instances
that on more kinds of sockets, makes it harder to accidentally run an
exit, improves our multithreading backend, incorporates several fixes
for the AutomapHostsOnResolve option, and fixes numerous other
bugs besides.
If no major regressions or security holes are found in this version,
the next version will be a release candidate.
