Changes in version 0.2.6.1-alpha - 2014-??-??
+ o New compiler and system requirements:
+ - Tor 0.2.6.x requires that your compiler support more of the C99
+ language standard than before. The 'configure' script now detects
+ whether your compiler supports C99 mid-block declarations and
+ designated initializers. If it does not, Tor will not compile.
+
+ We may revisit this requirement if it turns out that a significant
+ number of people need to build Tor with compilers that don't
+ bother implementing a 15-year-old standard. Closes ticket 13233.
+ - Tor no longer supports systems without threading support. When we
+ began working on Tor, there were several systems that didn't have
+ threads, or where the thread support wasn't able to run the
+ threads of a single process on multiple CPUs. That no longer
+ holds: every system where Tor needs to run well now has threading
+ support. Resolves ticket 12439.
+
+ o Removed platform support:
+ - We no longer include special code to build on Windows CE; as far
+ as we know, nobody has used Tor on Windows CE in a very long time.
