I just noticed there was an alpha release of #Tor earlier this month.
#DEFCON runs Tor relays so I like to use the latest to help with debugging, and we run on #FreeBSD to provide some OS diversity, over 90% is Linux.
0.4.8.1-alpha Implements proposal 327 (Proof-Of-Work). "This is aimed at thwarting introduction flooding DoS attacks by introducing a dynamic Proof-Of-Work protocol that occurs over introduction circuits."
Also proposal 329 (conflux traffic splitting). Conflux splits traffic across two circuits to Exits that support the protocol. These circuits are pre-built only, which means that if the pre-built conflux pool runs out, regular circuits will then be used. When using conflux circuit pairs, clients choose the lower-latency circuit to send data to the Exit. When the Exit sends data to the client, it maximizes throughput, by fully utilizing both circuits in a multiplexed fashion.
