Vidalia 0.2.3.15 Alpha / 0.2.2.35

Vidalia is a unique, easy to use, cross-platform graphical controller for the Tor software, built using the Qt framework.

Vidalia runs on most platforms supported by Qt 4.3 or later, including Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X, and Linux or other Unix variants using the X11 window system.

Vidalia lets you start and stop Tor, see how much bandwidth you are consuming, see how many circuits you currently have active, see where these circuits are connected on a global map, view messages from Tor about its progress and current state, and let you configure your Tor client, bridge, or relay with a simple interface. Included in Vidalia is an extensive help system which helps you understand all of the options available to you.

All of these features are translated into a large number of languages. Vidalia does not work alone, it requires Tor to be useful.

· Allow 0.2.3.x clients to use 0.2.2.x bridges. Previously the client would ask the bridge for microdescriptors, which are only supported in 0.2.3.x, and then fail to bootstrap when it didn't get the answers it wanted. Fixes bug 4013; bugfix on 0.2.3.2-alpha.
· Avoid an assert when managed proxies like obfsproxy are configured, and we receive HUP signals or configuration values too rapidly. This situation happens most commonly when Vidalia tries to attach to Tor or tries to configure the Tor it's attached to. Fixes bug 5084; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
· Properly set up obfsproxy's environment when in managed mode. The ...
