o Major features (security, unix domain sockets):
- - Tor can now expose a SOCKS proxy over an AF_UNIX Unix Domain Socket.
- This allows client
- applications to Tor without having creating
- AF_INET or AF_INET6 sockets. If an application has
- permission to connect to Tor's AF_UNIX socket, it can
- communicate with Tor as if it were an other SOCKS proxy. This
- should allow high risk applications to use Tor while completely
- disabling their ability to make non-Tor connections.
- To create a
- socket of this type, use "SocksPort unix:/path/to/socket". Closes
- ticket 12585.

stops Tor from running as an exit relay. Closes ticket 10067.
o Major features (performance):
- - Make the the CPU worker implementation more efficient by
- avoiding the kernel and lengthening pipelines. The original
- implementation used sockets to transfer data from the main thread
- to the workers, and didn't allow any thread to be assigned
- more than a single piece of work at once. The new implementation
- avoids communications overhead by making requests in shared
- memory, avoiding kernel IO where possible, and keeping more
- requests in flight at once. Resolves issue #9682.
