      o Detect netfilter properly on more recent linux kernels.
      o German Translation updated by "Hans-J. Ullrich" <[email protected]>
      o Remove 'Change Identity' from main toolbar. It's available in the OSD
        and the systray menu instead.
      o Always de-configure server if 'Client' option selected.
      o Wait twenty seconds before assuming there is a problem
        connecting to Tor.

        startup but there is no sign of it
      o Add feature to let Tor shut down gracefully.
      o Ensure server settings are set correctly when launching Tor from
        Tork (as opposed to just connecting).
      o Add option to toggle between display of IP address and server name
        in server list.
      o Only display konqueror in application list if it exists.

  TorK 0.29.2
    Bug Fixes/Feature Fixes
     o Fix crash when restarting Tor after clearing down the .tor directory.
     o Fix crash with --enable-live-cd configure option. Thanks to anonym for
       reporting. Re-enabled hidden services under live-cd option.
    Minor Features
     o Add warning when installing Torbutton
     o Add ability to resolve hostnames/ips in the traffic logs.
     o Add ability to copy/paste entries from the Tor log.
     o Add 'Hidden Service' to 'Run Server' drop-down menu.
     o Add ability to drag urls to system tray to anonymize them (useful for
       hidden services).
    
2008-06-09 Robert Hogan <[email protected]>
  TorK 0.29.1
    Bug Fixes/Feature Fixes
     o Forgotten cstdlib include from Patrick Matthei.
	 o Fix crash when attempting to update Tork.
	 o Update tork from http://downloadtork.anonymityanywhere.com.
     o getpeername() patch from weasel for torksocks.
     o Controlport was getting protected with a random password
       when TorK was connecting to Tor, but not when launched by TorK.

2008-06-09 Robert Hogan <[email protected]>
  TorK 0.29
    Bug Fixes/Feature Fixes
     o Speed up pop-up windows
     o Block plaintext ports (23,110,109) and warn user. User can elect
       to allow the plaintext port for the rest of the session.
     o Quick Bandwidth Configuration in System Tray a la KTorrent.
     o Fix first-run wizard to allow proper configuration of system-managed
       privoxy. This should save users the bother of manually configuring
       a packaged, auto-starting privoxy installation to work with Tor.
     o If TorK attempts to launch Tor but finds an instance already running,
       only display the helpful pop-up message (asking if you want to just
       connect to the already running instance) and not the subsequent,
       confusing one (reporting the failure to bind to localhost:9050 as
       some sort of a bug).

    
2008-04-09 Robert Hogan <[email protected]>
  TorK 0.28
    Bug Fixes/Feature Fixes
     o Always apply settings when OK or Apply clicked on configuration
       dialog. Some of the more exotic settings were not getting applied
       in some situations.
     o The non-anonymous settings (e.g. cookies,javascript) were not getting
       restored properly in some cases. This was due to an eccentricity in
       TDEConfig.
     o Be a little more aggressive with UPnP. Silently re-apply port
       forwarding to the UPnP router when (i) Tor tells us it has failed
       reachability tests, (ii) whenever the user presses play.
     o Always enable torbutton when launching firefox. 
     o Always show a padlock on SSL connections in the stream display.
    Minor Technical Stuff
     o Add some missing includes for Debian packaging. (Thanks to Patrick
       Matthai)
     o Change the build script so that we have an SSL_LIBS parameter to use
       with shallot when it's integrated.
     o Some extra configure checks for OpenBSD. (Thanks to kuburosso).


2008-02-28 Robert Hogan <[email protected]>
  TorK 0.27
  o UPnP Support Added. Almost all code taken from Joris Guisson's UPnP 
    implementation in KTorrent. UPnP will only forward ports 80 and 443 
    - this is because anything else misses the point. Users who want to 
    get fancy with port forwarding can configure their router themselves. 
    UPnP is on by default but can be disabled at server set-up time or 
    through the config.
  o New compile-time configure option: --enable-gnutls. Default remains 
    OpenSSL. This resolves the licence clash between openSSL and third-party 
    GPL2 code in TorK. Thanks to Patrick Matthai for reporting.
  o Removed use of libwhich.
  o Usability Improvements. Reduced the initial complexity of the interface 
    by:
    o Remove 'connect'/disconnect from toolbar
    o Simple Mode:
      - Add 'More Options' button that will reveal:
        - 'Citizen' button
        - 'Fail-Safe' button and 'Fail Safe' config
        - 'Server' Button
        - 'Usability' config section
        - So in simple mode only 'Change ID' and 'un-censor' remain
    o 'My Tor Server', 'My Server BW', and 'Configure Server'remain hidden 
       unless a server is actually running.
    o 'My Hidden Services' remains hidden unless user elects to create a 
       hidden service from main listing.
    o 'My Network View' remains hidden until user right-clicks on server 
      list to select servers.
    o Thanks to anonym (maintainer of Incognito CD) for his help in defining 
      the above.
  o Add Server Set-Up Wizard. Used first time you set up a server.
  o Use an overlay rather than separate icons for the system tray 
    representation of server status.
  o New Czech translation from Marek Stopka.
  o Correct torksocks.conf manpage. Patch from Patrick Matthai.
  o Make sure libtorksocks is linked against libdl. Thanks to Patrick Matthai
    for reporting.
  o Make the traffic monitor a little less of an eyesore.


2007-12-21 Robert Hogan <[email protected]>
    TorK 0.26
    Minor Features
     o Display a help bubble in the connections pane until the user has
       discovered the clickability of the network interface.
     o French translation from Daniel Berthereau <[email protected]>.
	 o Fix geoip when --with-external-geoip used in configure. The option will now
       ensure that an external geoip installation (including db) is used. TorK will
       issue a warning if the external or local db cannot be found/read.
       (Reported by Marek Stopka and Patrick Matthai.)
    Bug Fixes/Feature Fixes
     o Disabled 0.2.x-only TorK features when running a 0.1.x version of Tor.
     o Internationalized all pop-up messages. They should now be translate-able.
     o Random password is now the default authentication mechanism. Cookies
       were causing too much trouble on certain installations. In the event
       of the user getting locked-out by a random password (e.g. crash), TorK will offer
       to reset Tor and try reconnecting.
     o Update GPL Licence with correct address. (Reported by Patrick Matthai.)
     o Fix interface bugs when selecting countries/servers for include/exclude.
     o When displaying exit in connections pane, find the exit to display using server digest
       rather than nickname. 
	 o Modify license for OpenSSL. (Reported by Patrick Matthai.)
	 o Cleanup tsocks dir properly during make clean. (Reported by Patrick Matthai.)
     o For 'My Bandwidth' allow TorK to always set values, even when greyed out. Selecting 'default'
       resets values to default.
     o For 'Performance' in 'My Tor Server' do the same
     o For 'Normal Settings' in 'My Tor Client' do the same.
     o For 'My Tor Server' do not store 'old' values if greyed out, but always apply values. This will 
       work because 'never run as server' is tied to ClientOnly - which prevents Tor from
       functioning as a server.
     o Patch to 'About' dialog from Jonathan Patrick Davies.

2007-12-07 Robert Hogan <[email protected]>
    TorK 0.24.1

     o Fix scheduled bandwidth feature to work reliably. 
     o More packaging related clean-ups.
     o Correct 'about' section. Patch from Jonathan Patrick Davies (jpatrick @ kubuntu.org).

2007-11-05 Robert Hogan <[email protected]>
    TorK 0.23 - The 'Oh For Crying Out Loud!' Release
    Regression Fix
      o The feature 'Cope with new extra-info handling for servers' in TorK 0.22 uses 
        a feature only available in the develoment version of Tor, rendering 
        TorK unusable if it is launching, rather than just connecting to, older 
        versions of Tor. Revert the change until the new feature makes the Tor stable release.
        Thanks to Chris Giles for reporting.
    Bug Fixes/Feature Fixes
      o Fix nearly all compiler warnings in all components.
      o Fix crash in libtorksocks if no configuration file present.
      o Fix crash in libtorksocks if malformed configuration file passed (Thanks to
        Brian Piatkus for reporting).
	  o Use reasonable Tor defaults if tsocks configuration file malformed or absent. 
	  o Many build fixes for torksocks. Thanks to Jonathan Patrick Davies. See
        PACKAGING for more information if you are packaging TorK.
	  o Update to latest KDE admin build directory

      o Patches and advice from Patrick Matth�i. Added manpages, corrected desktop files,
        and various other bits and pieces. TorK should be much easier to package now.
      o Apply settings - make togglebox allow you to apply in future always
      o Make systray icon reflect client/server status rather than activity
      o stop trying to connect if waiting more than 20 secs
      o copy control_auth_cookie to ~/.tor in first-run wizard

    TorK 0.19
    New Features

2007-05-08 Robert Hogan <[email protected]>
    TorK 0.16
    **Important Bug Fix**
        o Konqueror settings to disable/enable plugins/java/javascript were not being applied
          to all existing konqueror windows when anonymity was toggled.
    Minor Features
        o Make DNS Leak warnings less noisy. The rationale now is: If we see a DNS request 
          (noticing these is still not failsafe), and an active Tor connection within the next 6 seconds
          then report a possible DNS leak. The previous approach was to report possible leaks
          whenever a DNS request was noticed while KDE/Konqueror were enabled for Tor.
        o Be more informative when KDE-wide anonymity is toggled.
        o Add Pidgin to application list.
        o Point to http://healthcheck.anonymityanywhere.com
    Bug Fixes
        o Change installation of GeoIP so that it is internal to TorK, rather than system wide.
          This prevents crashes if the installation is not 'as expected'.
        o Enforce 20KB as minimum bandwidth in configuration module.

2007-04-30 Robert Hogan <[email protected]>

        o Show version of Tor in titlebar

2007-03-25 Robert Hogan <[email protected]>
