+ o Minor features:
+ - Tor now refuses to create a ControlSocket in a directory that is
+ world-readable (or group-readable if ControlSocketsGroupWritable
+ is 0). This is necessary because some operating systems do not
+ check the permissions on an AF_UNIX socket when programs try to
+ connect to it. Checking permissions on the directory holding
+ the socket, however, seems to work everywhere.
