+  Tor 0.2.2.33 fixes several bugs, and includes a slight tweak to Tor's

+
+  o Major bugfixes:
+    - Avoid an assertion failure when reloading a configuration with
+      TrackExitHosts changes. Found and fixed by 'laruldan'. Fixes bug
+      3923; bugfix on 0.2.2.25-alpha.
+
+  o Minor features (security):
+    - Check for replays of the public-key encrypted portion of an
+      INTRODUCE1 cell, in addition to the current check for replays of
+      the g^x value. This prevents a possible class of active attacks
+      by an attacker who controls both an introduction point and a
+      rendezvous point, and who uses the malleability of AES-CTR to
+      alter the encrypted g^x portion of the INTRODUCE1 cell. We think
+      that these attacks are infeasible (requiring the attacker to send

+      authorities to abstain from voting on assignment of the HSDir

+    - Update to the September 6 2011 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (documentation and log messages):
+    - Correct the man page to explain that HashedControlPassword and
+      CookieAuthentication can both be set, in which case either method
+      is sufficient to authenticate to Tor. Bugfix on 0.2.0.7-alpha,
+      when we decided to allow these config options to both be set. Issue
+      raised by bug 3898.
+    - Demote the 'replay detected' log message emitted when a hidden
+      service receives the same Diffie-Hellman public key in two different
+      INTRODUCE2 cells to info level. A normal Tor client can cause that
+      log message during its normal operation. Bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha;
+      fixes part of bug 2442.
+    - Demote the 'INTRODUCE2 cell is too {old,new}' log message to info
+      level. There is nothing that a hidden service's operator can do
+      to fix its clients' clocks. Bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha; fixes part
+      of bug 2442.
+    - Clarify a log message specifying the characters permitted in
+      HiddenServiceAuthorizeClient client names. Previously, the log
+      message said that "[A-Za-z0-9+-_]" were permitted; that could have
+      given the impression that every ASCII character between "+" and "_"
+      was permitted. Now we say "[A-Za-z0-9+_-]". Bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
+
+  o Build fixes:
+    - Provide a substitute implementation of lround() for MSVC, which
+      apparently lacks it. Patch from Gisle Vanem.
+    - Clean up some code issues that prevented Tor from building on older
+      BSDs. Fixes bug 3894; reported by "grarpamp".
