Hi everyone

I want to announce to the list that a new release of tor-ramdisk is out. 
Tor-ramdisk is an i686, x86_64 or MIPS uClibc-based micro Linux 
distribution whose only purpose is to host a Tor server in an 
environment that maximizes security and privacy. Security is enhanced by 
hardening the kernel and binaries, and privacy is enhanced by forcing 
logging to be off at all levels so that even the Tor operator only has 
access to minimal information. Finally, since everything runs in 
ephemeral memory, no information survives a reboot, except for the Tor 
configuration file and the private RSA key, which may be 
exported/imported by FTP or SCP.

Changelog:

For the i686 and x86_64 ports, Tor was updated to 0.2.3.25, libevent to 
2.0.20 and the kernel to 3.6.7 plus Gentoo's hardened-patches 
3.6.7-1.extras. The MIPS port also incorporates these changes, but for 
this architecture, libevent was updated to 2.0.21, while the kernel was 
kept at vanilla 3.2.5.
