 Changes in version 0.2.5.5-alpha - 2014-06-1?
   Tor 0.2.5.5-alpha fixes a wide variety of remaining issues in the Tor
   0.2.5.x release series, including a couple of DoS issues, some
-  performance regressions, a large number of bugs affecting the
-  Linux seccomp2 sandbox code, and various other bugfixes. It also adds

   diagnostic bugfixes for a few tricky issues that we're trying to
   track down.
