New Tor "The Onion Router" Anonymity Network Stable Branch Getting Closer

Nick Mathewson from the Tor Project announced on the 8th of November 2016, the release of yet another Alpha development snapshot towards the major Tor 0.2.9 "The Onion Router" release.

Tor 0.2.9.5 Alpha comes three weeks after the release of the 0.2.9.4 Alpha build to add a large number of improvements and bug fixes that have been reported by users since then or discovered by the Tor Project's hard working development team. Also, this release gets us closer to the new major update of The Onion Router anonymity network.

"We're getting closer to stable, but we still need testing," said Nick Mathewson in the release announcement. "Tor 0.2.9.5-alpha fixes numerous bugs discovered in the previous alpha version. We believe one or two probably remain, and we encourage everyone to test this release."
