  1. o Major features:
  2. - You can now configure Tor so that streams from different
  3. applications are isolated on different circuits, to prevent an
  4. attacker who sees your streams leaving an exit node from linking
  5. your sessions to one another. To do this, choose some way to
  6. distinguish the applications -- have them connect to different
  7. SocksPorts, or have one of them use SOCKS4 while the other uses
  8. SOCKS5, or have them pass different authentication strings to
  9. the SOCKS proxy. Then use the new SocksPort syntax to configure
  10. the degree of isolation you need. This implements Proposal 171.
  11. o Minor features:
  12. - There's a new syntax for specifying multiple client ports (such as
  13. SOCKSPort, TransPort, DNSPort, NATDPort): you can now just declare
  14. multiple ...Port entries with full addr:port syntax on each.
  15. The old ...ListenAddress format is still supported, but you can't
  16. mix it with the new SOCKSPort syntax.
  17. o Code simplifications and refactoring:
  18. - Rewrote the listener-selection logic so that parsing which ports
  19. we want to listen on is now separate form binding to the ports
  20. we want.
