[tor-packagers] New Tor release: 0.4.6.6

[Nick Mathewson]

Greetings!

There's a new stable Tor release today, 0.4.6.6.  It changes very
little since 0.4.6.5: the only significant change is that we merged
the fix for the issue that was preventing builds with older versions
of GCC.

As usual, you can find the release at https://dist.torproject.org/ .

If you are already shipping Tor 0.4.6.5, there is no reason to upgrade
to 0.4.6.6.  If you have had problems compiling 0.4.6.5, this release
should fix them for you.

Here's the changelog:

Changes in version 0.4.6.6 - 2021-06-30
  Tor 0.4.6.6 makes several small fixes on 0.4.6.5, including one that
  allows Tor to build correctly on older versions of GCC. You should
  upgrade to this version if you were having trouble building Tor
  0.4.6.5; otherwise, there is probably no need.

  o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
    - Fix a compilation error when trying to build Tor with a compiler
      that does not support const variables in static initializers.
      Fixes bug 40410; bugfix on 0.4.6.5.
    - Suppress a strict-prototype warning when building with some
      versions of NSS. Fixes bug 40409; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.

  o Minor bugfixes (testing):
    - Enable the deterministic RNG for unit tests that covers the
      address set bloomfilter-based API's. Fixes bug 40419; bugfix
      on 0.3.3.2-alpha.

Official announcement to follow after the website has updated.

Best wishes,
