Technical Notes
Shortly before phase two begins, the Tor developers will release a canonical version of Tor. This is the version that will be used for judging the competition; please ensure that you use this version. Bugfixes to this version of Tor will be announced to the competition web site.
The Tor developers will also release test rigs (libraries) in both Java and Python that demonstrate Tor's controller protocol. Code submissions may be able to save a lot of time by using this code as a skeleton. You can check out the development versions of these libraries now.
