0.0.8 03-Oct-2006 o Vidalia will now attempt to connect to an existing Tor's ControlPort before starting its own Tor process. If it finds a Tor with an open ControlPort, Vidalia will "attach" to that Tor instead of starting a new process. o Vidalia now supports running Tor as an NT service on Windows. o When Vidalia starts its own Tor process, it will now default to starting it with a "-f ~/.vidalia/torrc", to avoid permissions conflicts when running Tor as a user that does not have write access to the default torrc. The torrc used when starting Tor is still configurable. o Fix a bug that was causing unexpected behavior with many unrelated Windows applications. o Do a better job of determining if another Vidalia process is running on Windows, to eliminate all the false positives reported. o Major performance improvements related to loading the network map. o Support receiving server identities in circ events, as well as names, so Vidalia will work with Tor 0.1.2.2-alpha and later. o Moved the "New Identity" button to the main popup menu for easier access. o Vidalia dialogs remember their last size and location when Vidalia exits and restore their size and location the next time Vidalia runs. o Vidalia windows now close in response to a Command-W on Mac OS X. o Added a "Zoom To Fit" button to the network map, to zoom in on the active circuits. o Numerous minor aesthetic and usability improvements to many of Vidalia's dialogs. o Fix a bug that was causing signal conflict warnings on Debian. o Fix a crash that would occur when exiting Vidalia after an attempt to start Tor with a non-existent executable. o Add a Bulgarian translation contributed by kutia0001. o Add a Dutch translation contributed by Saedian. o Add a Hungarian translation contributed by Tibor Fekete. o Add a Polish translation contributed by ZeeWolf. o Updates to the Finnish, French, and Russian translations. 0.0.7 07-Jul-2006 o Fix a bug that was causing Vidalia to freeze frequently for some people, particularly when running at a verbose log level. o Fix a bug that would cause Windows Vidalias to not want to start after Vidalia had been killed via the Task Manager. o Add a French translation contributed by Michel Burkhardt. o In the network map, update the displayed uptime by looking at the difference between now and the publication time, and add that difference to the published uptime. 0.0.6 23-Jun-2006 o Fix the network map to properly remove circuits after they are closed. o Fix our configure script to properly handle the --prefix option (patch by Alexander Wirt). o Check if Vidalia is already running when we start. If Vidalia is already running, then warn and exit in the second instance. o Strip all invalid characters from the server's nickname and make sure the user can't enter any. o Default to the Tor binary located in the user's $PATH, instead of trying to guess directory locations. o Add support for adjusting a server's BandwidthRate and BandwidthBurst values. o Store Vidalia's settings in a file, (rather than in the registry on Windows), so Vidalia can be more portable. Note that settings aren't "imported" from the registry, so 0.0.5 users will have to configure their Vidalia settings again. o Make the bandwidth graph just a normal window instead of a tool window, so it can hide behind other Vidalia windows, if necessary. o On OS X, ensure that the About, Configure, and Exit actions get merged into the "Vidalia" menu in the default menubar when Vidalia is running in a non-English language. o Add an Italian translation contributed by Alex Mazzariol. o Add a Russian translation contributed by ygrek. o Add a manpage for Vidalia contributed by Alexander Wirt. 0.0.5 02-Jun-2006 o Make the "Always On Top" property of the bandwidth graph optional. o Add a new dialog showing a list of routers that the user's Tor currently knows about, as well as the user's current circuits and streams and detailed information about individual routers. The circuits and router geographic locations are plotted on a world map. Thanks to Christoph Sieghart, Michael Zuercher, and Adam Tomjack for help with this feature. o Stop automatically scrolling to the newest item added to the message log, if the user is looking through their message history. o Create a horizontal scrollbar on the message log when an excessively long message is logged. o Add support for the NEWNYM signal in the form of a "New Identity" button, to force Tor to use only clean circuits for new application requests. o Add a Mac OS X bundle. o Add a Finnish translation contributed by DJHasis. o Add a German translation contributed by Christoph Sieghart. o Fix a bug that caused people running servers to update their public IP address too often if they had the "Automatically Update" option checked. 0.0.4 09-May-2006 o Add a fixed set of Windows .ico files from Dan Christensen. Our contributed set in 0.0.3 apparently had a blank image in it that some old Windowses would use instead of the icon that actually had an image. o Add an option for servers to check periodically to see if their public IP address has changed. o Give servers the option to shut down after 30 seconds, to give clients time to find new circuits, instead of just always killing Tor immediately. o Improve GUI responsiveness when waiting for the Tor process to finish starting up. o Be smarter about guessing the default location of Tor in non-English Windowses. 0.0.3 13-Apr-2006 o Fixed a server configuration bug that caused people to not really be a middleman node, even though the checkbox told them they were. o Fixed a bug in choosing a default language that caused help documents to sometimes not appear. o Fixed the Win32 bundle installer to not leave 2 files and a registry key laying around after an uninstall. Also give users the option of launching Vidalia when the solo installer is finished. o Fixed a bug where Vidalia would ignore Windows when asked to shut down because the system is restarting. o Improved tray icon support on older Windowses. Also started using a new set of icons created by Matt Hanson, based on our previous set by Corinna Habets. o Improved help document accessibility by adding "Help" buttons to many dialogs and error message boxes. 0.0.2 02-Apr-2006 o Added an integrated help browser and documentation. o Added exit policy configuration support for servers. o Added support for language translations and language selection. o Added a Simplified Chinese (zh_CN) translation from Wu Xiaoguong. o Added support for changing Vidalia's interface style. o Aesthetic improvements in many dialogs. 0.0.1 28-Feb-2006 o Initial testing release. o Basic features include: - Starting/stopping/monitoring Tor - Bandwidth graph - Message log - Basic server configuration
