Comment (by MichaelD76):

 I use also the tor.exe expert bundles for Windows.

 In version prior to 0.2.5.10 the output was something like this in the
 console:

 Dec 06 23:16:59.554 [notice] Tor v0.2.4.23 (git-598c61362f1b3d3e) running
 on Windows 8 with Libevent 2.0.21-stable and OpenSSL 1.0.1h.
 Dec 06 12:16:59.571 [notice] Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050
 Dec 06 12:17:00.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 5%: Connecting to directory
 server.
 Dec 06 12:17:00.000 [notice] We now have enough directory information to
 build circuits.
 Dec 06 12:17:00.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 80%: Connecting to the Tor
 network.
 Dec 06 12:17:00.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 85%: Finishing handshake with
 first hop.
 Dec 06 12:17:03.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 90%: Establishing a Tor circuit.
 ................

 And you can easily track if the connection was successful or not.

 Now with 0.2.5.10 there is no console output. So like Noino said, it will
 be very good to add an option to have again the old console output
 behavior for Windows Tor.exe expert bundle.

 Thanks!
