<h2>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</h2>
|
||
|
||
<h2><strong>TOR PROJECT ANNOUNCES NEW STABLE RELEASE</strong></h2>
|
||
|
||
<p><strong>WALPOLE, MA</strong> The Tor Project announces a new stable
|
||
release of the Tor software. More than two years in the making,
|
||
this release features improved client performance and hidden service
|
||
reliability, better compatibility for Android, correct behavior for
|
||
bridges that listen on more than one address, more extensible and flexible
|
||
directory object handling, better reporting of network statistics,
|
||
improved code security, and many many other features and bugfixes. A
|
||
<a
|
||
href="https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-announce/2011-August/000080.html">full
|
||
changelog</a> is available.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>This release series is dedicated to the memory of Andreas Pfitzmann
|
||
(1958-2010), a pioneer in anonymity and privacy research, a founder of the
|
||
PETS community, a leader in our field, a mentor, and a friend. He left
|
||
us with these words:
|
||
<blockquote>"I had the possibility to contribute to this world that
|
||
is not as it should be. I hope I could help in some areas to make the
|
||
world a better place, and that I could also encourage other people to
|
||
be engaged in improving the world. Please, stay engaged. This world
|
||
needs you, your love, your initiative -- now I cannot be part of that
|
||
anymore."</blockquote></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Tor's tools and technologies are already used by millions of people
|
||
to protect their activities online. These users include journalists and
|
||
human rights workers in politically rigid countries communicating with
|
||
whistleblowers and dissidents. Law enforcement officers on Internet
|
||
sting operations stay anonymous with Tor, as do people wanting to post
|
||
socially sensitive information in chat rooms, like rape or abuse survivors
|
||
and those with illnesses. The Tor network also provides protection
|
||
for people looking for another layer of privacy from the millions of
|
||
websites and ISPs bent on collecting private information and tracking
|
||
their moves online.</p>
|

<p>Pre-compiled and configured versions of Tor can be found on <a

<h2>ABOUT THE TOR PROJECT</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Based in Walpole, MA, The Tor Project develops free and open-source
|
||
software that provides online anonymity to the everyday Internet
|
||
user. Tor was born out of a collaboration with the U.S. Naval Research
|
||
Lab starting in 2001, and it became an official U.S. 501(c)(3) non-profit
|
||
in 2006. The Tor Project now works with many individuals, NGOs, law
|
||
enforcement agencies, and businesses globally to help them protect their
|
||
anonymity online.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>In addition to its efforts developing and maintaining the Tor anonymity
|
||
software and the Tor network, The Tor Project also helps to lead the
|
||
research community in understanding how to build and measure scalable and
|
||
secure anonymity networks. The Tor developers publish several new research
|
||
papers each year in major academic security conferences, and just about
|
||
every major security conference these days includes a Tor-related paper.
|
||
Tor is a project-funded organization with a staff of 15.</p>
