+  o Major features (security)
+    - Implementation of SocksSocket option - SocksSocket implements a SOCKS
+      proxy reachable by Unix Domain Socket. This allows client applications to
+      communicate with Tor without having the ability to create AF_INET or
+      AF_INET6 family sockets. If an application has permission to create a socket
+      with AF_UNIX, it may directly communicate with Tor as if it were an other
+      SOCKS proxy. This should allow high risk applications to be entirely prevented
+      from connecting directly with TCP/IP, they will be able to only connect to the
+      internet through AF_UNIX and only through Tor.
