Tor 0.2.1.20 is released

Tor 0.2.1.20 fixes a crash bug when you're accessing many hidden services
at once, prepares for more performance improvements, and fixes a bunch
of smaller bugs.

The Windows and OS X bundles also include a more recent Vidalia, and
switch from Privoxy to Polipo.

The OS X installers are now drag and drop. It's best to un-install
Tor/Vidalia and then install this new bundle, rather than upgrade. If
you want to upgrade, you'll need to update the paths for Tor and Polipo
in the Vidalia Settings window.

      patch. Bugfix on the 54th commit on Tor -- from July 2002,

      as a client and finding out that we don't have an introduction key
