Tor
http://www.torproject.org/dist/vidalia-bun...0.34-0.1.10.exe

Tor is a toolset for organizations and people that want to improve their safety and security on the Internet. Using Tor can help you anonymize Web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH, and other applications that use the TCP protocol. Tor also provides a platform on which software developers can build new applications with built-in anonymity, safety, and privacy features.

Communications are bounced around a distributed network of servers, called onion routers. Instead of taking a direct route from source to destination, data packets on the Tor network take a random pathway through several servers that cover your tracks so no observer at any single point can tell where the data came from or where it's going. This makes it hard for recipients, observers, and even the onion routers themselves to figure out who and where you are. Tor's technology aims to provide Internet users with protection against "traffic analysis," a form of network surveillance that threatens personal anonymity and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security.

    - Actually return -1 in the error case for read_bandwidth_usage. Bug
      was harmless, we currently don't care for the return value anywhere.

Tor 0.2.0.35 Stable
https://www.torproject.org/dist/vidalia-bun...0.35-0.1.13.exe

Tor 0.2.1.16 RC
https://www.torproject.org/dist/vidalia-bun...6-rc-0.1.13.exe
QUOTE
Security fixes:
* Fix an edge case where a malicious exit relay could convince a
      controller that the client's DNS question resolves to an internal IP
      address. Bug found and fixed by "optimist"; bugfix on 0.1.2.8-beta.

Major performance improvements (on 0.2.0.x):
* Disable and refactor some debugging checks that forced a linear scan
      over the whole server-side DNS cache. These accounted for over 50%
      of CPU time on a relatively busy exit node's gprof profile. Found
      by Jacob.
* Disable some debugging checks that appeared in exit node profile
      data.

Minor features: read more ยป
* Update to the "June 3 2009" ip-to-country file.
