    1.4.0
    
    * App is now being compiled with 64-bit CPU optimization (for iPhone 5S
      and new iPads), which may improve cryptographic performance and battery
      life. (Older devices are still supported, as long as they are using a
      compatible version of iOS.)
    
      COMPATIBILITY NOTE: App now requires iOS 6.0 or greater.
    
    * A progress bar / loading bar, similar to one used in Safari, has been
      added to the app. Uses NJKWebViewProgress, by Satoshi Asano.
      https://github.com/ninjinkun/NJKWebViewProgress
    
    * A copy of the help site has been embedded into the app, for offline
      viewing. This should help users having trouble when encountering the
      "Tor stops working after idle" bug.
    
    * Fix awkward navbar / address bar spacing in iOS 7.
    
  • 1.3.14
    * Add experimental ability to turn off JavaScript & other active content
      (web fonts, XHR/WebSockets, embedded HTML5 audio/video)
    
    * Ability to set a custom home page. Revamped settings so that future
      customizations will be easier to implement.
    
    * Add ability for other apps to open links in Onion Browser. Other apps
      can use the "onionbrowser://" (HTTP) or "onionbrowsers://" (HTTPS) URI
      protocols to launch Onion Browser. See README.
    
    * Tweak "Connecting..." info page, based on input from Wong Choon Jie.
    
    * Update default home page.
    
    * OpenSSL updated to 1.0.1f.
    
    * Tor updated to 0.2.4.20.
    
  • 1.3.13
    fix some more manifestations of ipad black bar issue. update tor to 0.2.4.18. fix torcheck iframe.
    
  • 1.3.12
    Fix issue when opening app on iPad when in Landscape mode. ("Black bar" problem.)
    
    Fix some possible instances of random crashing introduced in 1.3.10.
    
    Fix issue where bottom of webpage was covered by toolbar at bottom of screen.
    
  • 1.3.11
    Fix issue when opening app on iPad when in Landscape mode. ("Black bar" problem.)
    
    Fix some possible instances of random crashing introduced in previousn version.
    
  • 1.3.10
    * MAJOR PRIVACY ISSUE FIXED: App previously did not successfully wipe
      HTML5 "application storage" (aka "local storage" or "app cache"), even
      when force-quitting or selecting "New Identity". This could be seen by
      testing a Google Search and noticing previous searches in a dropdown
      (due to Google's use of this cache). (Issue 26)

      https://github.com/mtigas/iOS-OnionBrowser/commit/7ae6bcb5aa33538159c423a3b6c9
    
    * Add check.torproject.org frame to homepage, to ensure that user has
      successfully connected to Tor. (See Issue 28)
      https://github.com/mtigas/iOS-OnionBrowser/commit/18590148ee9e527c07dc82cb8514
    
    * Fix issue with "New Identity" button on iPad when device is rotated
      in landscape mode. (Issue 32)
      https://github.com/mtigas/iOS-OnionBrowser/commit/df1c98b96e05db6e1c2f86125396
    
    * Force using "ntor" connection handshake, which is faster and is now
      the default for 0.2.4.X and newer versions of Tor. This is preferred
      by 0.2.4.X relays (and is forced on in 0.2.5.X). This is a countermeasure
      against the botnet congestion that was introduced in September 2013
      and helps reduce load on the overall Tor network.

  • 1.3.9
    Fix iOS 5.1 support.
    
    Disable 64-bit (iPhone 5S) speedups for now, since this requires iOS 6.0+.
    Can re-enable "arm64" arch when compiling your own copy, by also changing
    Deployment Target.

    300ebb03 · 1.3.8 ·
    Native iOS 7 support and iPhone 5s (64-bit) performance optimizations.

  • 1.3.4
    1.3.4 release
    
    * Update tor to 0.2.4.11-alpha (Mar 11, 2013). Moved back to alpha releases since 0.2.4.X introduces several performance improvements. Also eases future investigation of integrating obfs2 or other pluggable transports in the future. (This would allow Onion Browser to operate in areas where Tor is blocked due to deep packet inspection techniques.)
    
    * Update openssl to 1.0.1e (Feb 11 2013).
    
    * Update compile settings to build against iOS SDK 6.1. App remains compatible for devices running iOS 5.0+.

    a5c9a179 · 1.3.3 ·
    1.3.3
    tor updated to 0.2.3.25 (stable!)
    
    libevent updated to 2.0.21
    
    Update build target to "arm-apple-darwin11" (instead of darwin10) for tor/libevent build scripts.
    
  • 1.3.2
    Update tor to 0.2.3.24-rc (Oct 25, 2012), which fixes several Tor-specific security and connectivity issues.
    
  • 1.3.1
    1.3.1 release. (1.3 was unreleased and is superseded by this version.)
    
    * Support iPhone 5 (taller 4" Retina screen). Also compile openssl,
      libevent, and Tor for "armv7s" CPU target, which represents the new
      A6 processor. May improve performance on the iPhone 5 versus
      more generically compiled versions of those libraries.
    
    * Fix dumb issue where iOS 5.0 devices were not supported. Onion Browser
      should work in all devices that have iOS 5.0 or higher. (Please go to
      http://onionbrowser.com/help/ and contact me if you are on an iOS 5.0
      device and have issues.)
    
    * Fix tapping on text box in "bridge edit" view.
    
    * Update tor to 0.2.3.21-rc (Sep 05, 2012).
    
    Changes in 1.3:
    
    * Bookmarking ability. Moved most of the "quick links" from startup
      page into default bookmarks.
    
    * Ability to configure Tor bridges. This is primarily geared toward advanced
      users that are using networks that block Tor based on known Tor nodes.
      See http://onionbrowser.com/help/ for instructions.
    
    * Major changes to underlying Tor wrapper code. May solve issues
      related to connection dying after the app has been open for some
      time and if the app was open while the device went into idle sleep.
      (Issue #2, Issue #3)
    
    * Fixes CSS/JS on sites like meine-startseite.de, where statically gzipped
      resources are served (i.e. "foo.gz.css") automatically. HTTP code in
      Onion Browser now automatically handles these cases. (Issue #21)

    1.2.5 App Store release.
