Well, I'm going to give it some more months. Let's see where this goes. (Needless to say, feel free to chime in, anything linux crypto related is welcome. Just go for it.) - loop-AES-v3.4b file/swap crypto package was released on 2010-09-23: http://www.spinics.net/lists/crypto/msg04992.html quoting its release log: - Worked around block layer interface breakage on linux-2.6.36-rc kernels. - Added workaround for device open/close reference count race. This race caused random loop-AES "make tests" failures with "ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: Device or resource busy" error message. The workaround is in util-linux patch (new mount/umount/losetup/ swapon binaries). Thanks to Julien Moutinho for reporting/testing this problem. - Version 0.4.2 of loop-AES FAQ was released on 2010-10-06: #43 added, #17 adapted, #33 adapted to loop-AES-v3.4b, new patches added - FAQ 43: make tests fails: Device busy - solution given via release of loop-AES-v3.4b - FAQ 33: Why does loop-AES still ask for a password instead of a passphrase? - new patches for loop-AES-v3.4b - FAQ 17: Which distros include loop-AES? - Gentoo [version unclear - contributed info, thanks] Better late than never - Vidalia - August 2010 catch-up: - Vidalia 0.2.10 released on Aug 26 2010 https://trac.vidalia-project.net/milestone/Vidalia%200.2.10 quoting its release log: - Drop remote GeoIP lookups. Instead, the default behavior now is to use the country-level GeoIP database that ships with Tor to map an IP address to a country code, and then map the country code to latitude and longitude with a separate database built into Vidalia. - Add a -DUSE_GEOIP build option to enable building with MaxMind's GeoIP C library for using a local city-level or country-level database instead of Tor's database. See README.geoip for details on use. - Only update a stream's displayed target address in the network map if no hostname was given in the stream's NEW status event. Fix suggested by Robert Hogan. (Ticket #608) - Update the menubar icon at the same time as the dock icon on OS X. Previously, we had a blank icon in the menubar. (Ticket #610) - Updated several translations. prebuilt packages for Slackware 13.1 are available at http://mareichelt.de/pub/mine/slackware/builds/vidalia/pkg/13.1/ Please note that the Slackware buildscript will make good use of the newly introduced -DUSE_GEOIP option via the upcoming release.
