Vidalia is a cross-platform controller GUI for Tor, built using the Qt framework. Vidalia runs on any platform supported by Qt 4.1, including Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux or other Unix variants using the X11 window system.
Using Vidalia, you can start and stop the Tor software, view its status at a glance, and monitor bandwidth usage.
Vidalia also makes it easy to contribute to the Tor network by helping you setup a Tor server, if you wish.

Directory authority changes:
· Change IP address for maatuska (v3 directory authority).
· Change IP address for ides (v3 directory authority), and rename it to turtles.
Security fixes:
· When building or running with any version of Open SSL earlier than 0.9.8s or 1.0.0f, disable SSLv3 support. These OpenSSL versions have a bug (CVE-2011-4576) in which their block cipher padding includes uninitialized data, potentially leaking sensitive information to any peer with whom they make a SSLv3 connection. Tor does not use SSL v3 by default, but a hostile client or server could force an SSLv3 connection in order to gain information that they shouldn't have been able to get. The best solution here is to upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.8s or 1.0.0f (or later). But when building or running with a non-upgraded OpenSSL, we disable SSLv3 entirely to make sure that the bug can't happen.
· Never use a bridge or a controller-supplied node as an exit, even if its exit policy allows it. Found by wanoskarnet. Fixe...
