Change the client transport method name from "websocket" to "flashproxy".
Both names still work and are equivalent. This only affects what string appears in the configuration files we ship. --- ChangeLog | 10 ++++++++++ README | 6 +++--- doc/design.txt | 4 ++-- experiments/exercise/exercise.sh | 2 +- torrc | 4 ++-- 5 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-)

+ o Changed to use the pluggable transport method name "flashproxy" + rather than "websocket". Both names are equivalent and "websocket" + continues to work. The reason for this change is to reduce confusion + with a transport that simply makes a WebSocket connection to a + "websocket" bridge, without receiving an inbound connection from a + flash proxy. The default argument to the --transport option + continues to be "websocket", because that option controls which + particular protocol flash proxies should use to connect to you, and + is distinct from the transport method name used by Tor. + Changes in version 1.3 o Added a new observed Google public key pin.
