0.2.3 27-Aug-2009
o Create the data directory before trying to copy over the default
Vidalia configuration file from inside the application bundle on Mac
OS X. Affects only OS X drag-and-drop installer users without a
previous Vidalia installation.
o Change all Tor event handling to use Qt's signals and slots mechanism
instead of custom QEvent subclasses.
o Fix another bug that resulted in the "Who has used my bridge?" link
initially being visible when the user clicks "Setup Relaying" from
the control panel if they are running a non-bridge relay.
(Ticket #509, reported by "vrapp")
o Always hide the "Who has used my bridge?" link when Tor isn't running,
since clicking it won't return useful information until Tor actually
is running.
0.2.2 14-Aug-2009
o When the user clicks "Browse" in the Advanced settings page to locate
a new torrc, set the initial directory shown in the file dialog to the
current location of the user's torrc. (Ticket #505)
o Use 'ditto' to strip the architectures we don't want from the Qt
frameworks installed into the app bundle with the dist-osx,
dist-osx-bundle and dist-osx-split-bundle build targets.
o Fix a bug in the CMakeLists.txt files for ts2po and po2ts that caused
build errors on Panther for those two tools.
o Include rebuilt OpenSSL libraries in the Windows packages that are
built with the static (/MT) version of the Microsoft Visual C++
Runtime. Otherwise, we would require users to install the MSVC
Redistributable, which doesn't work for portable installations such as
the Tor Browser Bundle.
o Remove the NSIS file for the Vidalia installer since we now ship
MSI-based installers on Windows.
0.2.1 03-Aug-2009
o Add a "Find Bridges Now" button that will attempt to automatically
download a set of bridge addresses and add them to the list of bridges
in the Network settings page.
o Add support for building with Google's Breakpad crash reporting
library (currently disabled by default).
o Show or hide the "Who has used my bridge recently?" link along with
the other bridge-related widgets when the user toggles the relay mode
in the Network settings page. (Ticket #480)
o Tolerate bridge addresses that do not specify a port number, since Tor
now defaults to using port 443 in such cases.
o Add support for viewing the map as a full screen widget when built
with KDE Marble support.
o Compute the salted hash of the control password ourself when starting
Tor, rather than launching Tor once to hash the password, parsing the
output, and then again to actually start Tor.
o Add a signal handler that allows Vidalia to clean up and exit normally
when it catches a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal. (Ticket #481)
o If the user chooses to ignore further warnings for a particular port,
remove it from the WarnPlaintextPorts and RejectPlaintextPorts
settings immediately. Also remember their preferences and reapply them
later, even if Tor is unable to writes to its torrc.(Ticket #493)
o Don't display additional plaintext port warning message boxes until
the first visible message box is dismissed. (Ticket #493)
o Renamed the 'make win32-installer' CMake target to 'make dist-win32'
for consistency with our 'make dist-osx' target.
o Fix a couple bugs in the WiX-based Windows installer related to building
a Marble-enabled Vidalia installer.
o Write the list of source files containing translatable strings to a
.pro file and supply just the .pro file as an argument to lupdate, rather
than supplying all of the source file names themselves.
0.1.15 09-Jul-2009
o Bump the minimum required Qt version to 4.3.0.
o Remove USE_QSSLSOCKET as a build option. If your Qt doesn't support
OpenSSL, then you don't get GeoIP lookups.
o Fix the TorPostFlight portion of the OS X bundle installer so it
doesn't fail when installing Torbutton.
o Include libeay32.dll in the Windows installers.
0.1.14 29-Jun-2009
o Close the TorProcess more quickly after registering for log events, so
we avoid displaying duplicate log messages received over Tor's control
port and Tor's stdout log. (Ticket #484)
o Explicitly set CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT to the 10.4 SDK rather than expecting
the packager to do so when building a Universal binary.
o Include Tor's geoip file in the Windows bundles.
0.1.13 25-May-2009
o Remove an old warning on the relay settings page that running a bridge
relay requires Tor 0.2.0.8-alpha or newer.
o Add a workaround for a bug that prevented Vidalia's tray icon from
getting added to the system notification area on Gnome when Vidalia was
run on system startup. Patch by Steve Tyree. (Ticket #247)
o Fix a bug that prevented the control panel from displaying when
running on the Enlightenment window manager. Patch by Steve Tyree.
o Rename the CMake variables used to store the location of Qt's lupdate
and lrelease executables. Recent versions of CMake decided to use the
same variable name, which was stomping on mine, resulting in the wrong
lupdate and lrelease executables being used.
o Use the TorProcess subclass of QProcess for launching Tor when hashing
a control password so we can take advantage of its PATH+=:/usr/sbin
trick on Debian there too.
o If a RouterDescriptor object is empty, don't try to display it in the
router descriptor details viewer. (Ticket #479)
o Wait until Vidalia has registered for log events via the control port
before ignoring Tor's output on stdout. Previously we would start
ignoring Tor's stdout after successfully authenticating, but before
registering for log events which, in some cases, could lead to
messages not appearing in the message log.
o Update many translations and remove others than are no longer
up-to-date enough to be useful.
0.2.0 19-Mar-2009
o Add support for changing UI languages without having to restart
Vidalia.
o Add preliminary support for using the KDE Marble widget for the
network map. It's currently a compile-time option and is disabled by
default.
o Add support for displaying Tor's plaintext port warnings. Also gives
the user the option to disable future warnings.
o Add an interface for displaying the geographic distribution of
clients who have recently used a bridge operator's relay.
o Add tooltips to tree items in the help browser's table of contents. Some
of the help topic labels are a bit long.
o Switch to a simpler About dialog and move the license information to a
separate HTML-formatted display.
o Switch to a simpler drag-and-drop installer in the OS X bundles.
o Switch to an MSI-based installer on Windows.
o Clear the list of default CA certificates used by QSslSocket before adding
the only one we care about. Suggested by coderman.
o Support building with Visual Studio again.
o Add a Debian package structure from dererk.
o Updated Albanian, Czech, Finnish, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian,
Swedish, Turkish and many other translations.
0.1.12 16-Mar-2009
o Fix a bug in the hidden service settings configuration class that
could lead to compile errors in Visual Studio and on IRIX.
o Fix a build error that occurred on IRIX when using the MIPSPro
compiler. Patch from Matthew Saunier.
o Remove two duplicated strings in the Spanish translation of Qt's
internal strings (qt_es.po). The duplicated strings caused build
errors when building with Qt 4.5. (Ticket #469)
o Remove the code that altered PublishServerDescriptor when becoming a
bridge, since Tor handles that itself now, and ensure that BridgeRelay
is reset when going from bridge to just-a-client mode.
o Remove an unnecessary #include from helpbrowser.cpp.
o Add an application icon based on Tor's logo to the vidalia.desktop
file.
0.1.11 16-Feb-2009
o Remove support for configuring Tor's User and Group options in the
Advanced settings page.
o Only set HttpsProxy if both the "I use a proxy..." checkbox and the
"Use this proxy for HTTPS also" checkboxes are checked. Otherwise,
unset it. (Ticket #440)
o Fix a use of an uninitialized variable that would occur when Tor was
already running when Vidalia started, and the "Start Tor when Vidalia
Starts" checkbox is checked. (Ticket #443)
o Switch to using 'getinfo address-mappings' instead of
'getinfo addr-mappings'. (Ticket #454)
o Backport a change that removes a verticalSpacing property from a .ui
file, so Vidalia 0.1.x will still build on Qt 4.2. (Ticket #442)
o Fix some memory leaks in the hidden service configuration dialog.
o Fix a CIRC event parsing bug that would occur when the CIRC event
contained a 0-hop circuit path and EXTENDED_EVENTS is enabled.
o Include patches from Steven J. Murdoch that enables the Tor Browser
Bundle to launch Firefox itself without relying on Portable Firefox.
0.1.10 02-Nov-2008
o Add a prettier dialog for prompting people for their control port password
that also includes a checkbox for whether the user wants Vidalia to remember
the entered password, a Help button, and a Reset button (Windows only).
o Fix a crash bug that occurred when the user clicks 'Clear' in the message
log toolbar followed by 'Save All'. (Ticket #434)
o Uncheck the Torbutton options by default in the Windows bundle installer
if Firefox is not installed. (Ticket #421)
o Add a Windows bundle installer page that warns the user that they should
install Firefox, if it looks like they haven't already done so. (Ticket
#421)
0.1.9 02-Sep-2008
o Create the control panel's menubar as a parentless QMenuBar, so it is
visible even if the control panel is not the topmost window. (Ticket #286)
o Add a context menu with a "copy" option to RouterDescriptorView? so
users can copy some text to the clipboard. (Ticket #291)
o Make the Tor status label and Vidalia tray icon tooltip display the same
text after a circuit is established. (Ticket #390)
o Correct the location of the simplified Chinese help files so they will
actually load again.
o Try to load a translation for the current language from Qt's translations
directory, so we can get Qt's internal widgets (e.g. QDialogButtonBox)
translated. (Ticket #375)
o Use "$\r$\n" in the MessageBox strings in the Windows installer
translations, so the newlines appear properly. (Ticket #411)
o Grab the Qt .dlls included in the Vidalia installer directly from the
configured Qt binary directory (as specified by ${QT_BINARY_DIR}).
o Add OPENSSL_BINARY_DIR and MINGW_BINARY_DIR cmake options that can be
used to specify where the Windows installer NSIS scripts should look
for those dlls, rather than requiring them to all be in a "bin" directory
under ${Vidalia_BINARY_DIR}.
o Make the location of the Tor, Privoxy, and Torbutton package files into
configurable CMake options so the bundle can be built without having to
shimmy all these files into some specific directory hierarchy. Makes the
bundle a bit less annoying to build.
o Use the architecture name (e.g. "universal" or "ppc") rather than the
OS X version name (e.g. "tiger" or "panther") when naming OS X packages.
o Update the INSTALL file to recommend out-of-source builds.
o Stop building the nsh2po and po2nsh conversion tools on non-Windows
platforms.
0.1.8 17-Aug-2008
o Make the position of the y-axis on the bandwidth graph variable based on
the width of the axis labels. This works better for languages like Farsi
where "KB/s" somehow becomes 19 characters. (Ticket #373)
o Support alphanumeric circuit and stream IDs, rather than assuming IDs will
always be numeric. Current Tors only use numeric circuit and stream IDs,
but they may some day. (Ticket #400)
o Include ssleay32.dll in the Windows packages so Vidalia won't crash when
it finds an incompatible version of ssleay32.dll in the user's $PATH.
(Ticket #401)
o If the message log is sorted by severity or lexiographically, or if the
user manually repositioned the vertical scroll bar, then retain the scroll
bar's previous position after adding a new message to the log.
o If the current message log layout is right-to-left (e.g. if the user's
translation is Farsi), then use a custom item delegate for the log message
column whose sole purpose is to keep Qt from screwing with the message
text. (Ticket #396)
o Reduce the default number of messages to retain in the message log to 50
messages. Most people never look at the window and the extra 200 messages
just needlessly eat memory.
o Restore the "zoom" and "close" icons in the router and circuit list
context menus. They were lost in the move to the Oxygen icon theme in
0.1.4.
o Make both the 'Ctrl+W' and 'Esc' shortcuts for closing any Vidalia window.
Previously, it was just 'Esc' on Windows and 'Ctrl+W' on all other
platforms.
o Make pressing "Return" mean the same thing as clicking 'OK' in the
config dialog, and make pressing 'Esc' mean the same thing as clicking
'Cancel'. (Ticket #327)
o Fix the icon used for the help browser's window icon.
0.1.7 02-Aug-2008
o Handle spaces in the Tor version number we get from 'getinfo version'
since Tor has included svn revision numbers in its response (e.g.
"0.2.0.30 (r12345)") for a while now.
o Include stdlib.h in the format conversion tools. Fixes the build on some
platforms.
o Rework the message log scrollbar logic so it's consistent again on
Qt 4.4.0. (Ticket #369)
o Remove the horizontal scroll bar behavior in the message log. It was
really annoying and unnecessary since long messages have tooltips anyway.
o Add "TZ=UTC" to the BrowserExecutable's environment variables when launched
via Vidalia.
o Rename the 'pt_BR' Windows installer translation to just 'pt' since there
is apparently nothing 'BR'-specific about it. (Ticket #394)
o Update Tor's URL in the Windows installer and translations.
o Add an nsh2po tool (not built by default) that can be used to extract
LangString entries from an NSIS file and generate a .po file. This was
used to help push our installer translations into Pootle.
o Add a po2nsh tool to convert the Windows installer .po files to NSIS .nsh
files at build time.
o Tell CMake to skip the pkg/ subdirectories that aren't likely to be needed
on the current build platform.
o Updated Czech, French, and German translations.
0.1.6 08-Jul-2008
o Fix a bug in our control socket communication introduced in 0.1.3 that
could cause excessive CPU usage or crashing on some platforms.
o Fix po2ts so that it uses the same encoding to read in a .po file that it
uses to write out the .ts file. This resulted in garbled characters when
viewing some translations on apparently all platforms except OS X.
o Use the correct field when trying to parse the severity value from the
'getinfo status/bootstrap-phase' response.
o Fix compilation of the ts2po and po2ts conversion tools on OS X Panther.
o Tweak the ts2po and po2ts dependencies so Vidalia can be built with Xcode
on OS X again.
o Update ts2po to use 'msgctxt' in .po files for specifying message
context, rather than overloading the "#:" line.
o Update po2ts to tolerate using either 'msgctxt' or an overload "#:" line
for specifying message context.
o If we're building with CMake 2.6, then force CMake 2.4 compatibility for
linker search path behavior. Fixes a CMake warning when building with
CMake 2.6. (Ticket #374)
o Explicitly link in ws2_32 when building with UPnP support on Windows.
(Ticket #374 as well)
o Add a Romanian GUI and installer translation.
o Updated Farsi, Finnish, French, German, and Swedish translations.
0.1.5 21-Jun-2008
o Add support for Tor 0.2.1.2-alpha's new 'status/bootstrap-phase' getinfo
option. Call it to update the progress bar to Tor's current bootstrapping
progress immediately after connecting to Tor.
o Convert to using GNU gettext .po files for our translations, rather than
Qt's .ts format. The .po files are converted to .ts (and then to .qm) at
build time. We switched to .po files so we can point pootle
(https://translation.torproject.org) directly at Vidalia's svn repository.
o Force a repaint() to try to ensure the progress bar and onion status icon
don't overlap briefly when starting Tor.
o Tweak the resize policy for the control panel so the vertical size is
fixed at minimal and sufficient, and the horizontal size is adjustable but
obeys the minimum size hint. (Ticket #363)
o Default to the language chosen by the user during install (Windows-only)
rather than the system language. (Ticket #246)
o Include the text of the LGPLv3 in the binary packages.
o Updated Finnish, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, and Swedish
translations.
0.1.4 13-Jun-2008
o Add a progress bar and status label for displaying Tor's startup progress
based on new Tor bootstrapping status events.
o Include UPnP support based on the MiniUPnPc library. Also added a UPnP
test dialog to help users determine if their router or firewall supports
UPnP. Initial patch for UPnP support from Steven J. Murdoch.
o Switch all of Vidalia's icons to the KDE Oxygen theme so that our icon set
has a a DFSG-compatible license.
o Fix a crash bug that occurred when opening the settings dialog when Tor
was not running. (Ticket #360)
o Respond to mouse wheel events on the network map by zooming in or out on
the map image. Patch from Vern Sun.
o Make external links in the help browser clickable, which will try to open
them in the user's default browser. The user is first warned that their
request might not be anonymous if their default browser is not configured
to use Tor.
o Apply some Tor trademark compliance updates to user-visible strings.
o Cut down the margin around the table of contents in the help browser. It
looked goofy with so much empty space.
o Update Finnish, Spanish, and Swedish translations.
0.1.3 25-May-2008
o Added a hidden service configuration UI designed and implemented by
Domenik Bork.
o Added a "Proxy Executable" configuration option and UI that allows
you to specify an HTTP proxy application that Vidalia will start and
stop along with Tor.
o Fix a bug in how Vidalia sent control commands to Tor that would
cause Vidalia to freeze when built against Qt 4.4.0. (Ticket #353)
o If we're running Tor >= 0.2.0.13-alpha, then check the descriptor
annotations for each descriptor before deciding to do a geoip lookup
on its IP address. If the annotations indicate it is a special purpose
descriptor (e.g., bridges), then don't do the lookup at all. (Ticket #326)
o Fix the OSX_FAT_BINARY build option so that it actually does produce a
Universal binary when enabled. (Ticket #342)
o Rename src/util to src/common, since libutil.a was apparently conflicting
with libUtil.dylib when compiling Vidalia on OS X Leopard.
o Switch to using 'getinfo ns/all' instead of 'getinfo network-status' to
get a list of available relays. 'getinfo network-status' was deprecated
long ago.
o Only display the running relays in the big list of relays to the left of
the network map. Listing a big pile of unavailable relays is not
particularly useful, and just clutters up the list.
o Add support for the 'usefeature verbose_names' control command that was
introduced way back in Tor 0.1.2.2-alpha.
o Correct the tab order on the custom bandwidth settings tab. (Ticket #351)
o Remove the 'Run Tor as a Service' checkbox. Lots of people seem to be
clicking it even though they don't really need to, and we end up leaving
them in a broken state after a reboot.
o Restore the Windows application icon that was inadvertently removed in
0.1.2. Reported by dr|z3d. (Ticket #358)
o Add a Turkish GUI translation from Yunus Kaba.
o Updated Finnish and Swedish translations.
0.1.2 24-Mar-2008
o Correctly load the CA certificate used to verify SSL connections to the
GeoIP server. This caused Vidalia >= 0.1.0 clients built against Qt >=
4.3.2 to be unable to retrieve updated GeoIP information. (Ticket #349)
o Fix compilation when UINT_MAX is not defined. (Ticket #350)
o Bridges are no longer required to have a DirPort set as of Tor
0.2.0.13-alpha, so stop forcing it on for bridges. At some point, we'll
likely start forcing DirPort to be disabled for bridges, and on by default
but optional for normal relays. (Ticket #337)
o Fix a typo in VidaliaMacros.cmake that would allow configuration to
continue even if windres.exe couldn't be found.
o Update the version of Torbutton included in the OS X bundle to
1.1.17-alpha, and actually include the bundle's uninstaller script.
o Updated Finnish and Swedish translations.
0.1.1 17-Mar-2008
o Use CMake to configure the version number that ends up getting displayed
in the About box.
o Update the RPM .spec file with the new CMake requirements. Patch from Oliver
Niesner.
o TunnelDirConns and PreferTunneledDirConns are now enabled by default as of
Tor 0.2.0.22-rc.
o Don't check the 'My ISP blocks connections to the Tor network' box simply
because TunnelDirConns is enabled. Checking the box still enables
encrypted directory connections on older Tors.
o Add a Japanese GUI translation from Nardog
o Updated Finnish and Swedish translations
0.1.0 01-Mar-2008
o Migrate to CMake as our build system, instead of the previous mix of
autoconf and qmake. See the updated INSTALL file for more information.
o Add an OpenSSL license exception so Vidalia can be linked against OpenSSL
and redistributed. Also include the text of the GPLv3, since our license
says "GPLv2 or later."
o Don't try to 'SETCONF HashedControlPassword' if we couldn't hash the
control password, otherwise we could end up disabling authentication.
(Ticket #305)
o If Vidalia is built against Qt >= 4.3 with SSL support, then do our GeoIP
lookups over an SSL connection.
o Work around a crash bug with a sorted QTreeWidget that occurs with Qt
4.3.3, and possibly later versions as well.
o Parse ReachableAddresses values properly when there are multiple ports
specified on a single line.
o RESETCONF the value of PublishServerDescriptor when the user switches from
being a relay to acting as only a client.
o Add support for Tor's STATUS_GENERAL, STATUS_CLIENT, and STATUS_SERVER
status events.
o Listen for the DANGEROUS_VERSION general status event and warn the user
if their version of Tor is no longer recommended.
o Listen for the CIRCUIT_ESTABLISHED client status event and only turn the
yellow onion status icon green after Tor has successfully established a
circuit.
o If the user's vidalia.conf contains an empty value for their Tor
executable, use the default for the user's platform.
o If the user is running a bridge relay with Tor 0.2.0.13-alpha or newer,
then set 'BridgeRelay 1' when configuring their bridge.
o Don't save a randomly generated control password to Vidalia's
configuration file. If Vidalia gets disconnected from Tor or crashes, we
will no longer be able to reconnect.
o Don't let users save an empty string for a Tor executable in the Settings
dialog.
o Apply the changes for settings pages in the same order in which the pages
appear in the Settings dialog. The only two pages for which this matters
are the 'Network' and 'Sharing' pages. (Ticket #336)
o Old Jabber clients apparently use port 5223 for encrypted connections. So,
include that port as part of the "Instant Messaging" exit policy checkbox.
(Ticket #333)
o Stop displaying flags next to the language names in the Appearance
settings page.
o Add a "How do I find a bridge?" link and corresponding help text to the
'Network' settings page.
o Add a 'BrowserExecutable' configuration option to launch a Web browser
when Tor has built a circuit, and exit Vidalia when the browser is closed.
Patch from Steven J. Murdoch .
o Add 'ProxyExecutable' and 'ProxyExecutableArguments' configuration options
to launch a proxy application with given parameters when Vidalia starts,
and close it when Vidalia exits.
Patches from Steven J. Murdoch .
o Respond to the Delete key in the network map by closing whatever circuits
or streams are currently selected. Suggested by Andrew Lewman.
o Rename the 'Relay' settings page to the 'Sharing' settings page.
o Add a vidalia.desktop desktop entry file that can be installed with
'make install'.
o Add an Albanian GUI translation from Frederik Nosi.
o Add a Hebrew GUI and Win32 installer translation.
o Updated Finnish, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, and Swedish translations.
0.0.16 22-Nov-2007
o Fix compilation on Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther).
o GETCONF RelayBandwidthRate and RelayBandwidthBurst properly on Tor >=
0.2.0.1-alpha. In 0.0.15, we were SETCONFing RelayBandwidthFoo when
appropriate, but always GETCONFing BandwidthFoo. Fixes Ticket #298.
o Display the correct default list of allowed ports in the Network settings
page, and don't try to save an empty list. Noticed by Roger Dingledine.
o Only remember the torrc and datadir values if Vidalia started Tor, or
if the user changed the displayed values.
o Fix some dumb logic in determing whether the Windows we're running on
supports window transparency.
o Use the correct icon for the "Close Stream" context menu action in the
circuit and stream list widget.
o Create the message log, network map, bandwidth graph, and settings dialogs
without parents, so they can be independently brought to the foreground on
Windows Vista.
o Update the default bandwidth rate and burst rate to 5MB and 10MB,
respectively, to match Tor's defaults.
o Make the "Use this proxy for HTTPS also" checkbox checked by default.
o Disable the labels that display the user's bridge relay information if the
user is not running a bridge, instead of just disabling the copy button.
o Modified the Mac OS X bundle installer to set Vidalia to start
automatically on login for the user that installed the bundle.
o Added an Arabic translation from Ahmad Gharbeia.
o Updated Finnish, German, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese
translations.
0.0.15 24-Oct-2007
o Add a new 'Network' settings page to the config dialog that lets users
configure an HTTP/HTTPS proxy, specify allowed ports if they are behind a
restrictive firewall or proxy, and set up bridges and tunneled dir conns.
o Add a 'Help Censored Users Connect to the Tor Network' option to the
'Server' settings page to help users set up their Tor as a brigde relay.
This option is only available for those running Tor 0.2.0.8-alpha or
newer.
o Stop hardcoding a font size of 10 in many places. This made the fonts on
Mac OS X look non-standard and inconsistent.
o Restructure the code that manages GETCONFing values from Tor and then
later SETCONFing any changed values to make it easier to add more pages
like the 'Network' and 'Server' settings pages in the future.
o If we prompt the user to enter a control password and they enter one,
don't keep trying to use our randomly generated password.
o Fix a bug in the network map that would cause the user to sometimes be
unable to select a circuit or server after clicking and dragging the mouse
in one of the lists. (Ticket #269)
o Stop leaking memory for pretty much every circuit we plotted on the network
map. Found by Roger Dingledine and his Valgrind.
o Stop leaking memory if TorMapWidget::addRouter() is called for a router
that is already on the map. Also found by Roger Dingledine and his
Valgrind.
o Stop leaking memory used by QTranslator and the configuration dialog on
exit.
o Default to using an ORPort of 443 when setting up a server on Windows.
9001 is still the default everywhere else.
o Fix a crash bug that could occur when Vidalia gets disconnected from Tor
while waiting for a response to a previous command. Bug reported by Roger
Dingledine. (Ticket #295)
o Create a single TorProcess object used to start and stop Tor, instead of
creating a new one each time and cleaning up after Tor exits. (Ticket
#294)
o Do the control connection asynchronously so we aren't trying to call
waitForConnected() in the control socket thread before it has an event loop
running.
o Don't start Tor or test for a running Tor with an open control port until
the main event loop is running.
o Older Tors write their state file even if all we're doing is
--hash-password. So if the user has configured a non-default data
directory, include that in the list of command line arguments when we run
Tor to hash the user's control password.
o Support changing Tor's control port and authentication settings without
having to restart Tor for the settings to take effect.
o Recognize the REMAP stream status in STREAM events.
o Allow the control panel window to expand horizontally and vertically to
fit longer translated text labels.
o Make VClickLabel right-to-left aware so the control panel buttons look
correct when using the Farsi translation.
o Fix our configure.in to produce a Makefile instead of an Xcode project on
OS X. This only affected users who got Qt 4.3 from Trolltech's .dmg
installers.
o Fix our configure.in to tell QMake the fully-expanded path to which our
man page should be installed.
o Fix our configure.in so we can use it to build under Cygwin or MinGW with
Qt >= 4.3.0.
o Move to a consistent use of the word "Relay" instead of "Server" or
"Router" in the interface.
o Convert the path separators in a configured data directory to whatever the
platform standard is.
o Remove the custom palette used in all Vidalia's windows that had been
around since 0.0.1.
o Attempt to standardize the GUI fonts to whatever the user's platform
thinks is best.
o Default to using Qt's Windows Vista style on Windows Vista. On other
Windowses or any non-Mac platform, default to the Cleanlooks style if
we're building with Qt >= 4.3.
o Add some information to the help browser about the new network settings
and bridge relay configuration, as well as the new authentication
settings in 0.0.14.
o When the user clicks the Help button in the Settings dialog, take them
directly to the help topic for whichever settings page they are currently
viewing.
o Added Torbutton 1.1.9.1-alpha to the Mac OS X bundles, thanks to
Andrew Lewman.
o Disable enable-edit-actions, enable-remote-toggle, and
enable-remote-http-toggle in the bundled Privoxy configuration. Suggested
by Greg Fleischer.
o Updated Finnish, French, German, Norwegian, Polish, and Russian
translations.
0.0.14 26-Aug-2007
o Add support for Tor's HashedControlPassword and CookieAuthentication
options. Password authentication is enabled by default.
o Add support for Tor's new PROTOCOLINFO control command.
o Support running on Windows NT 4.0 again.
o Check to see if "%PROGRAMFILES%\Vidalia Bundle\Tor\tor.exe" exists when
setting the default Tor executable on Win32. If it doesn't, fall back to
"%PROGRAMFILES%\Tor\tor.exe". (Ticket #262)
o Allow the people who think clicking 'New Identity' is the solution to
everything to be disappointed six times per minute, instead of once.
o Add the ability to configure Tor's data directory.
o Give users the option of not removing %APPDATA%\Tor and %APPDATA%\Vidalia
in the Win32 Vidalia and bundle installers.
o Add a Czech GUI and installer translation from el Mar.
o Updated Finnish and German translations.
0.0.13 02-Aug-2007
o Remove the control protocol version checking logic, since Tor will now
just hang up if the first command received isn't a valid AUTHENTICATE
command.
o Fix a bug where Vidalia would display an incorrect error message if the
user started Vidalia, stopped Tor, ran Tor manually, then clicked 'Start
Tor'. (Reported by arma)
o Maintain a list of address mappings, so we can try to replace IP addresses
in stream targets with host names when displaying them on the network map.
(Suggested by phobos)
o Stop including help documentation for each language, even if it is
untranslated. If there is no translated help documentation for a language,
simply load the documentation from the English version.
o Use RelayBandwidthBurst and RelayBandwidthRate on Tor >= 0.2.0.1-alpha.
o Remove from the server config page the 'Address' text box, the 'Get
Address' button, and 'Automatically Update' checkbox.
o Don't do balloon messages on Windows 2000; I'm told it doesn't work even
though QSystemTrayIcon::supportsMessages() says it should.
o Removed a duplicate check when determining what control event Vidalia
received from Tor.
o Check /usr/sbin/ for a Tor binary if one isn't found in $PATH.
o Fixed compilation on Mac OS X Panther.
o Support building with Qt 4.3 in our configure.in (no code changes
required).
o Change the "Start Tor" control panel button text to "Starting Tor" while
Tor is starting.
o Added a "Control Panel" item to the OS X dock icon's context menu.
o Added tooltips to the circuits and streams listed on the network map.
o Stop putting a torrc in %APPDATA%\Tor if the user is also installing Vidalia,
since they'll just get confused from having two torrc files.
o Added a Swedish GUI and installer translation from Amin Amini.
o Added an Italian installer translation from Alex Mazzariol.
o Update Finnish, French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish translations.
0.0.12 01-Jun-2007
o Added a new "Control Panel" main window that appears when Vidalia first
starts. This dialog is for people who either aren't trained to look in
their system tray area for a Vidalia icon, or those who simply do not have
a system tray area.
o Added -logfile and -loglevel command-line options that can log useful
Vidalia debugging messages to a file or to stdout. Hopefully this will
help make tracking down future Vidalia bugs easier.
o Add a box to the Advanced settings page to change the IP address on which
we will try to connect to Tor's control port, instead of always assuming
127.0.0.1. (Ticket #81)
o Don't yell at the user if our SAVECONF fails after changing some
configuration settings; just remember the intended settings and reapply them
next time Tor runs.
o Restore a window to its previous state each time it is opened, not just
the first time after Vidalia is started.
o Only allow the 'New Identity' button to be clicked once every 60 seconds.
o Show the number of online servers in the status tip for the server list,
as well as the total number of servers.
o Expand filenames that use "~/", "%APPDATA%", or "%PROGRAMFILES%" in either
the path to Tor's executable or torrc.
o Fix the message log timestamp format to be "MMM dd hh:mm:ss.zzz", instead
of "MMM dd hh:mm:ss:zzz".
o Don't create the help browser window until we actually need it, so we
don't waste memory on a window the user might never use.
o Fix a minor bug that's been around since 0.0.1: actually remove objects
from the list of targets for an event, instead of from a copy of the list.
o Display command-line options information as a message box so even Win32
folks can see it, if they give Vidalia a bogus argument.
o Revert back to the single uninstaller strategy on Win32, so don't leave
program groups behind after uninstalling the bundle. (Ticket #237)
o Start Privoxy minimized if the user selects "Run installed components now"
after completing the Win32 installer.
o Don't skip past the Win32 installer results immediately, since there could
have been errors the user should see.
o Include a default.action file for Privoxy in the Win32 and OS X bundles
with the +limit-connect{1-} fix.
o Include some more helpful text in the Win32 installer welcome screen and
category descriptions.
o Fix the paths to *-spec.txt in the script that builds the OS X bundles.
o Include Tor_Uninstaller.applescript and uninstall_tor_bundle.sh in the OS
X bundle. (Ticket #230)
o Updated Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Norwegian, Polish and Spanish
translations.
0.0.11 07-Feb-2007
o Fix a race condition that could (and did) cause Vidalia to freeze.
o RESETCONF all server-related settings when the be-a-server checkbox gets
unchecked, not just ORPort and Nickname.
o Add support for zlib or gzip compressed GeoIP responses.
o Handle chunked transfer encodings properly in GeoIP responses.
o Be a little less eager to send GeoIP requests right away. Now we wait 10
seconds after adding an address to the queue, or a maximum of 30 seconds,
before sending the request.
o Tolerate entries in geoip-cache that have no timestamp. If an entry does
not have a timestamp, use the current date and time.
o Respond to double-clicks on the map. Double left-click zooms in towards
the mouse pointer and double right-click zooms out.
o If Vidalia is built with Qt >= 4.2, use the open and closed hand cursors
in ZImageView when panning the world map.
o Qt >= 4.2 handles the sorting in addTopLevelItem() in the server list. We
still do the sorted inserts ourselves in older Qts.
o Display circuits as a list of server nicknames (like we currently do), but
save the original circuit paths (possibly with key IDs for non-Named
servers) so we don't display the wrong server information when the user
selects that circuit.
o Fix a bug introduced in 0.0.10 that caused a server's little pinpoint on
the map to not be highlighted green when the server is selected in the
server list.
o Update the stream target address on every stream status event, not just
NEW stream events.
o Add an EU flag for the server list.
o Add a "Cancel" button to the message box that asks server operators if
they want to delay server shutdown or kill Tor right away. (Ticket #222)
o Add version information to our compiled Win32 vidalia.exe.
o Be more tolerant of Win32 people removing the Tor service out from under
Vidalia.
o Explicitly specify the tab order in the bandwidth graph.
o Fix a bug in parsing Tor's version string when it contains modifiers such
as '-alpha'.
o Make Circuit::hops() correctly return an empty QStringList for empty paths,
instead of a QStringList with one empty QString.
o Do a better job of detecting Qt 4.2 debug libs on OS X. There were a few
necessary non-Qt libs missing from LIBS when we did our AC_TRY_LINK.
o Add vidalia.spec to our configure.in, so the RPM spec file stays current.
o Add a Traditional Chinese installer and GUI translation from Cloud.
o Updated Dutch, Farsi, Polish, Russian, and Simplified Chinese translations.
0.0.10 25-Dec-2006
o Load NT service functions on demand so we can run on Windows 95/98/ME
again. (Ticket #211)
o Add a column to the list of servers in the network map window, with a
little flag icon for each server.
o If the network map window is not visible, queue all GeoIP requests until
either the window becomes visible again or the queue contains requests for
at least one-quarter of all known servers.
o If we get a valid geoip response telling us the geoip database doesn't
have a location for the requested IP address, cache that response for one
week so we don't keep sending requests that are likely to fail anyway.
o Use QSystemTrayIcon when available (except on Mac). If we are using
QSystemTrayIcon on systems that support balloon messages, use a balloon to
indicate when NEWNYM is successful. We still show a message box when NEWNYM
fails. (Ticket #183)
o Add a graph style dropdown box to the bandwidth graph settings, so you can
choose between a fancy alpha blended area graph and a faster, simpler line
graph.
o Add a button to continue starting Vidalia anyway, even if Vidalia thinks
there might be another Vidalia process already running. It's possible that a
previous Vidalia did not exit cleanly and another process ended up with
the old Vidalia's PID.
o Add a "Zoom to Circuit" option to the circuit context menu in the network
map's list of circuits.
o Add a context menu to the dock icon on OS X. (Ticket #135)
o If we're building with Qt >= 4.2.0, then use its new saveGeometry() and
restoreGeometry() functions to save and restore window size and position.
If we're still using an old Qt, make sure the window fits on screen when
we try to restore it. (Ticket #207)
o Fix a bug in how the server points were keyed on the network map that
could cause some circuits to not get drawn. (Ticket #175)
o Really close the read channel when we want to stop reading from the Tor
process's stdout. This would sometimes cause duplicate messages in the
message log if Vidalia was running on a non-English-speaking Windows.
o Be more correct about what we consider as valid latitudes and longitudes.
o Give a better error message if we fail to determine what version of Tor's
control protocol is being spoken.
o Clarify some labels in the message log settings. (Ticket #203)
o Settle on a convention of not ending tool tips or status tips with a
period.
o Start shipping a geoip-cache file in our Win32 installers so people have
some initial geographic information, instead of starting out entirely
empty-handed.
o Add a Farsi translation.
o Add a Spanish translation contributed by desolator.
o Add a Portuguese (Brazilian) translation contributed by Mabat Haram.
o Add a Simplified Chinese installer translation contributed by omg.
o Updates to Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish,
Russian, and Simplified Chinese translations.
0.0.9 05-Nov-2006
o Added a new, more intuitive interface for setting a server's bandwidth
rate and exit policies.
o Improved our ./configure script so it will detect old or non-debug
versions of Qt and link accordingly.
o Added support for more easily building Qt as a Universal binary on OS X.
o Added a right-click option to circuits listed in the network map dialog to
close the circuit (Ticket #176).
o Added a right-click option to servers listed in the network map dialog to
zoom in on the server on the map (Ticket #176).
o Stop using a custom font and just use the platform default on all dialogs.
o Add "Close Window" shortcuts for Linux (Ctrl+W).
o Fixed a crash bug that would occur when saving messages in the message
log (Ticket #185).
o Fixed a bug that would cause messages with identical timestamps to not
get copied to the clipboard (Ticket #190).
o Ask if the user wants to delay shutting down their server when Vidalia
exits, to give clients time to find new circuits. We previously only did
this when the user stopped Tor, but wasn't exiting Vidalia.
o If Windows is restarting, then don't ask about delaying a server shut
down; just stop Tor and exit immediately so Windows doesn't yell at us.
o Detect if Tor was installed as an NT service prior to Vidalia, so we don't
accidentally remove it.
o Create a new torrc and specify a control port for the Tor NT service, so
it doesn't die when the user tries to start the service and we don't have
to tell the user to go add a line to their torrc.
o Fixed a bug that caused Vidalia to crash if it tried to read in a bogus
geoip-cache file from its data directory (Ticket #184).
o Refuse to cache information we did not ask for that we received in response
to a GeoIP request.
o Wait no more than ten seconds after queueing a GeoIP request before
sending it, so requests don't starve if we keep constantly getting new
descriptors.
o Ask Tor what its SocksPort and SocksAddress is before building our GeoIP
request, instead of always assuming Tor is listening on 127.0.0.1:9050.
o Explicitly specify the sort order for the message log and server list, so
things aren't backwards when linking with Qt 4.2.x.
o Add support for translating the Vidalia and Vidalia bundle installers.
o Start bundling Torbutton with the Vidalia bundle installer.
o Add a Norwegian (Bokmal) translation contributed by xiando.
o Updates to the Finnish, French, German, and Polish translations.
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
