[tor-talk] New release: Tor 0.4.1.2-alpha

2019-06-06 Thread Nick Mathewson
There's a new alpha Tor release! Because it's an alpha, you should only run it if you're ready to find more bugs than usual, and report them on trac.torproject.org. The source code is available from https://www.torproject.org/download/tor/ ; if you build Tor from source, why not give it a try?

If tor had a more modular path selection system like pluggable transports then work like this would be easier. Instead of forking tor (perfectly fine of course), researchers could propose alternative path selection algorithms. The proposals could go through a review then implementation stage. Then
