[tor-dev] [RELEASE] Torsocks 2.0.0-rc3

[David Goulet]

Hi everyone!

I just pushed the 2.0.0-rc3 tag for the torsocks rewrite.

https://github.com/dgoulet/torsocks/archive/v2.0.0-rc3.tar.gz

Important fixes got in especially with the testing done with firefox lately.
The good news is that it works well with firefox now :). Of course, you should
ALWAYS use the TBB :). Support for x86 is also fixed as well as GNU/kFreeBSD
and s390/s390x. Some unit tests were contributed by Luke Gallagher.

Also, thanks to Lunar, there is now a Debian experimental package!

http://packages.debian.org/experimental/torsocks

There are several improvements on the way also that will make it
probably in the 2.1.x version.

* Optimistic data
* Add --only-onions option
	Only sockify .onion address. Asked by the Tails folks.
* Support .i2p address

* Maybe (hopefully), rename the whole thing with a more meaninful name.
(Debate to come on tor-dev ML at some point in time :)
* Basic UDP DNS support.

Finally, to make this project go forward, please consider helping by reviewing
and testing this code base. Here is the open ticket ref.:
