PortableTor Update (rev-3)

[Silivrenion]

PortableTor is a rebundled version of the Vidalia-Privoxy bundle that comes
out on the torproject.org website. This project was created in order to
allow the end user full functionality, optimal disk space, and easy
adaptation of portable applications with the Tor network. It can run on a
flash drive, a desktop, external drive, iPod, and if modified, even on a
solid medium, such as a CD.

A new version of PortableTor has been released (and is released every stable
update.) based on 0.1.2.19-0.0.16 Vidalia and Privoxy bundle. This is a
medium-level update that affects client logging of information.

Debugger information was set to verbose (debug 1) via privoxy, causing
PortableTor to log traffic made locally. This new version fixes this
configuration default to save logging space and provide even more security
online.

You will also notice that the new version of PortableTor uses a new file
format compatible with the PortableApps format of applications. We are
continuing development of this package for interoperability, but as of right
now, PortableTor is not an officially signed package, it just works with the
system anyway. Part of this effort also allows PortableTor to regenerate
configuration files if it finds they have become deleted or corrupted.

We are still working on new ways to bring PortableTor to new devices and
storage mediums.
