+ o Major features:
+
+ - Tor now has (alpha) support for exiting to IPv6 addresses. To
+ enable it as an exit node, make sure that you have IPv6
+ connectivity, set the IPv6Exit flag to 1. Also make sure your
+ exit policy reads as you would like: the address * applies to
+ all address families, whereas *4 is IPv4 address only, and *6
+ is IPv6 addresses only. On the client side, you'll need to
+ wait till the authorities have upgraded, wait for enough exits
+ to support IPv6, apply the "IPv6Traffic" flag to a SocksPort,
+ and use Socks5. Closes ticket 5547, implements proposal 117 as
+ revised in proposal 208.
+
+ We DO NOT recommend that clients with actual anonymity needs
+ start using IPv6 over Tor yet: not enough exits support it
+ yet, and there are some DNS-caching related issues that need
+ to be solved first.
