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.</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 +href="<page download/download>">the download page</a>.</p> + +<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> + +<p>The "Onion Logo" and "Tor" wordmark are registered trademarks +of The Tor Project, Inc.</p> + +<p>Contact: Andrew Lewman</p> +<p>Tel: +1-781-352-0568</p> +<p>Email: execdir@torproject.org</p> +<p><a href="https://www.torproject.org/">Website: Tor Project</a></p> +<div align=center>###</div> + +</div> + <!-- END MAINCOL --> + <div id = "sidecol"> +#include "side.wmi" +#include "info.wmi" + </div> + <!-- END SIDECOL --> +</div> +<!-- END CONTENT --> +#include <foot.wmi>
