98) stable release) fixes a huge memory leak on exit relays, makes the

100) relay on a home system, and fixes a variety of smaller issues. Please

107) service introduction that were causing huge delays, and a big bug that
108) was causing some servers to disappear from the network status lists for
109) a few hours each day. We also modified the default Privoxy config files
110) in the bundles to avoid some security problems, so make sure to leave
111) "install Privoxy" checked when you upgrade. See the <a

115) <li>Oct 2007: As many of you know, The Tor Project became an <a
116) href="<page people>">independent and official nonprofit</a> this past
117) February. We did this so we could accept grants from groups who
118) only donate to NGOs, and so our donors could deduct qualifying
119) <a href="<page donate>">donations</a> made to us.
120) <br />
121) We'd like to extend our profound thanks to the <a
122) href="https://www.eff.org/">Electronic Frontier Foundation</a> for their
123) past support, fiscal sponsorship, and help in hosting some of our web
124) pages, and for their continued mentorship of and counsel to our
125) fledgling nonprofit organization.</li>

142) <li>Jan 2007: The Tor network has grown to hundreds of thousands of
143) users. The developers can't do all the new features, bug fixes, and
144) documentation. <a href="<page volunteer>">We need your help!</a></li>
145) 
146) <li><b>We are actively looking for new sponsors and funding.</b>
147) If your organization has an interest in keeping the Tor network usable
148) and fast, please <a href="<page contact>">contact us</a>. Sponsors of Tor
149) also get personal attention, better support, publicity (if they want it),
