Subject: Tor 0.2.1.22 is released (security fix)
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2010 00:18:58 -0500

Tor 0.2.1.22 rotates two of the seven v3 directory authority keys and
locations, due to a security breach of some of the Torproject servers:
http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Jan-2010/msg00161.html

It also fixes a privacy problem in bridge directory authorities -- it
would tell you its whole history of bridge descriptors if you make the
right directory request.

Everybody should upgrade:

(Tor Browser Bundle updates coming in the next few days, hopefully.)

Changes in version 0.2.1.22 - 2010-01-19
  o Directory authority changes:
    - Rotate keys (both v3 identity and relay identity) for moria1
      and gabelmoo.

  o Major bugfixes:
    - Stop bridge directory authorities from answering dbg-stability.txt
      directory queries, which would let people fetch a list of all
      bridge identities they track. Bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha.
