Comment (by dgoulet):

 Ok so here is what I'm going to do very soon.

 I'll tag and release 2.0.0-stable the upstream code.

 This new version is *not* a drop in replacement, the configuration file
 has been changed and some more strict security features have been added
 such as NOT allowing by default inbound connection and syscall() filtering
 also.

 This will most likely need a package warning "à la Debian" that tells the
 user what's changed from the previous version and that the configuration
 file is not usable anymore.

 Once done, the MOST IMPORTANT THING would be to close down the google.com
 page that for unknown reason to me have not been done yet!

 Once we ship that version through deb.tpo.org, I'll make sure to update
 the Wiki as much as I can. I expect some needed support for users
 complaining that 2.0 does not really work anymore with their stuff, I'm
 prepare to help on that as much as I can.

 I need to add some new features also that have been boiling in my head to
 improve torsocks but at least once we can ship it, I can start doing
 releases.
