Changes in version 0.2.7.5 - 2015-11-1? + The Tor 0.2.7 release series is dedicated to the memory of Tor user + and privacy advocate Caspar Bowden (1961-2015). Caspar worked + tirelessly to advocate human rights regardless of national borders, + and oppose the encroachments of mass surveillance. He opposed national + exceptionalism; he brought clarity to legal and policy debates; he + understood and predicted the impact of mass surveillance on the world; + and he laid the groundwork for resisting it. While serving on the Tor + Project's board of directors, he brought us his uncompromising focus + on technical excellence in the service of humankind. Caspar was an + inimitable force for good and a wonderful friend. He was kind, + humorous, generous, gallant, and believed we should protect one + another without exception. We honor him here for his ideals, his + efforts, and his accomplishments. Please honor his memory with works + that would make him proud. + Tor 0.2.7.5 is the first stable release in the Tor 0.2.7 series.
