71) stable release) fixes a huge memory leak on exit relays, makes the
72) default exit policy a little bit more conservative so it's safer to run an exit
73) relay on a home system, and fixes a variety of smaller issues. Please
74) upgrade.  Full <a

78) <li>Oct 2007: <a href="<page download>">Tor 0.1.2.18</a> (the new stable
79) release) fixes many problems including crash bugs, problems with hidden
80) service introduction that were causing huge delays, and a big bug that
81) was causing some servers to disappear from the network status lists for
82) a few hours each day. We also modified the default Privoxy config files
83) in the bundles to avoid some security problems, so make sure to leave
84) "install Privoxy" checked when you upgrade. See the <a
85) href="http://archives.seul.org/or/announce/Oct-2007/msg00000.html">release
86) announcement</a> for more information.</li>

88) <li>Oct 2007: As many of you know, The Tor Project became an <a
89) href="<page people>">independent and official nonprofit</a> this past
90) February. We did this so we could accept grants from groups who
91) only donate to NGOs, and so our donors could deduct qualifying
92) <a href="<page donate>">donations</a> made to us.
93) <br />
94) We'd like to extend our profound thanks to the <a
95) href="https://www.eff.org/">Electronic Frontier Foundation</a> for their
96) past support, fiscal sponsorship, and help in hosting some of our web
97) pages, and for their continued mentorship of and counsel to our
98) fledgling nonprofit organization.</li>
99) 
100) <li>Sep 2007: If you have received email claiming to be Tor, it wasn't

115) <li>Jan 2007: The Tor network has grown to hundreds of thousands of
116) users. The developers can't do all the new features, bug fixes, and
117) documentation. <a href="<page volunteer>">We need your help!</a></li>
118) 
119) <li><b>We are actively looking for new sponsors and funding.</b>
120) If your organization has an interest in keeping the Tor network usable
121) and fast, please <a href="<page contact>">contact us</a>. Sponsors of Tor
