This will help users - understand that nothing is wrong when Tor builds a one-hop - circuit, for example. Fixes bug 2114. - o Add option to use search query as message log filter. Fixes - ticket 2733. + New features: + o In the Network Map window, classify circuits based on their + purpose. This will help users understand that nothing is wrong when + Tor builds a one-hop circuit, for example. Fixes bug 2114. + o In the Message Log window, add an option to filter by search query. + Fixes ticket 2733. o Add a new configured relay immediately to the list of relays in the Network Map. Also document why a relay might be offline or not in the consensus/router list. Fixes bug 2735. o Add accounting options to the relay configuration panel. Fixes bug 2944. + o Add a Panic button, for users who want to get rid of the Tor Browser + Bundle quickly in certain circumstances. Note that it uses a simple + erase, rather than a secure erase method. Resolves ticket 4107. + o Add a way to handle default settings through a file instead of + just the hardcoded values. Vidalia will read a vidalia.defaults.conf + file from the same place as the vidalia.conf file, and override the + hardcoded default if a configuration option and value are listed in + this defaults file. + o Implement a torrc parser and editor and use that to take every + tor configuration option from the vidalia.conf file to the + torrc. Vidalia now just needs to know the minimal information to + connect to the tor process (ControlPort or ControlSocket and + authentication) and everything else would be handled through the + torrc file. + + Bugfixes relative to Vidalia 0.2.x: + o Fix deadlock when the browser process fails to launch in OS X. + o Resume listing relays in the Network Map panel even when Tor + only offers microdescriptors (new in Tor 0.2.3.x). Fixes ticket 4203. o Use consensus bandwidth for routers when microdescriptors is enabled. Fixes bug 3287. - o Improve a method that didn't return the specified type if - another control method was selected. Fixes bug 4065. - o Add a Panic button, for users who want to get rid of the Tor Browser - Bundle quickly in certain circumstances. It uses a simple erase, - rather than a secure erase method. Resolves ticket 4107. o Handle unrecognized Tor bootstrap phases. (Tor tells us a summary description of each bootstrap phase as it occurs, so we can use that string if needed.) Fixes bug 5109. o Change the wording from New Identity to New Circuit. For a proper New Identity while browsing, TorButton's solution should be used. Fixes bug 5277. + o Fix the bridge line parsing for requests to bridges.torproject.org + when the user clicks 'find bridges now'. Fixes bug 5730. + + Bugfixes relative to Vidalia 0.3.x: o Center detached tabs to avoid placing them out of reach. Fixes bug 5326. o Provide the MainWindow object to the plugins so they can provide messages in the system tray. Fixes bug 5338. - o Do not ignore the Show on Startup checkbox. Fixes bug 5351. - o Fix the bridge line parsing for requests to - bridges.torproject.org. Fixes bug 5730. - o Remove the ability to launch an http proxy (e.g. Polipo), since we - do not use it anymore. In the future, perhaps a plugin will allow - users to launch external applications like this. Fix bug 5386. - o Fix deadlock when the browser process failed to launch in OSX. - o Removes the need for threads to handle interaction with the - ControlPort. It now uses asynchronous IO through Qt's event loop. - o Add a way to handle default settings through a file instead of - just the hardcoded values. Vidalia will look for a - vidalia.defaults.conf file in the same place the vidalia.conf file - is, and from it it will read the default values for each - configuration option or fall back to the hardcoded default if the - key isn't present. - o Improve the bootstrap behavior for the new async TorControl. - o Resume listing relays in the Network Map panel even when Tor - only offers microdescriptors (new in Tor 0.2.3.x). Fixes ticket 4203. + o Do not ignore the "Show on Startup" checkbox.
