Tor
Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. It also enables software developers to create new communication tools with built-in privacy features. It provides the foundation for a range of applications that allow organizations and individuals to share information over public networks without compromising their privacy. Individuals can use it to keep remote Websites from tracking them and their family members. They can also use it to connect to resources such as news sites or instant messaging services that are blocked by their local Internet service providers (ISPs).

Changes: This release features several more security-related fixes. You should upgrade, especially if you run an exit relay (which is vulnerable to a remote crash) or a directory authority (which is vulnerable to a remote infinite loop), or if you're on an older (pre-XP) or not-recently-patched Windows operating system (which can be attacked with a remote exploit).
