Description:
 TorK is an Anonymity Manager for KDE.

For information about Tor: http://tor.eff.org

TorK allows you to configure, run and update Tor.
It also allows you to view the Tor network and
choose how you would like to interact with the
network.

TorK contains a number of unique/useful features:

* A graph of your tor and non-tor traffic.
* A quickstart page for launching torified
applications.
        See
https://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=159836
* A hidden services wizard that allows you to
create and publish hidden 
services.
* A drag-and-drop view of the Tor network. Create,
modify and close circuits. 
Attach and detach streams manually from circuits.
Click on servers to view 
their full details.
* Exit node blocking/preferring by country and
server name.
 See 
https://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=159836&ssid=45119
* Tor and Non-Tor traffic logs - showing you the
traffic that is going through 
Tor and the traffic that is not. The Tor traffic
log maintains a record of 
the circuit you used for each connection. Both
logs are maintained in memory 
only and can be flushed by the user at any time.
* A turn-on-and-off-able mini-view that shows you
the traffic currently going 
through Tor - including destination, status, and
exit node's name and 
country.
* Passive pop-ups alerting you to important Tor
events, such as changes to  
your server status, DNS leaks, errors reported by
Tor.
* Quick configuration - six default configurations
available for getting Tor 
running the simple and easy way.
* Full access to all Tor configuration options.


Changelog:
 2007-12-21 Robert Hogan 
    TorK 0.26
    Minor Features
     o Display a help bubble in the connections
pane until the user has
       discovered the clickability of the network
interface.
     o French translation from Daniel Berthereau .
	 o Fix geoip when --with-external-geoip used in
configure. The option will now
       ensure that an external geoip installation
(including db) is used. TorK will
       issue a warning if the external or local db
cannot be found/read.
       (Reported by Marek Stopka and Patrick
Matthai.)
    Bug Fixes/Feature Fixes
     o Disabled 0.2.x-only TorK features when
running a 0.1.x version of Tor.
     o Internationalized all pop-up messages. They
should now be translate-able.
     o Random password is now the default
authentication mechanism. Cookies
       were causing too much trouble on certain
installations. In the event
       of the user getting locked-out by a random
password (e.g. crash), TorK will offer
       to reset Tor and try reconnecting.
     o Update GPL Licence with correct address.
(Reported by Patrick Matthai.)
     o Fix interface bugs when selecting
countries/servers for include/exclude.
     o When displaying exit in connections pane,
find the exit to display using server digest
       rather than nickname. 
	 o Modify license for OpenSSL. (Reported by
Patrick Matthai.)
	 o Cleanup tsocks dir properly during make clean.
(Reported by Patrick Matthai.)
     o For 'My Bandwidth' allow TorK to always set
values, even when greyed out. Selecting 'default'
       resets values to default.
     o For 'Performance' in 'My Tor Server' do the
same
     o For 'Normal Settings' in 'My Tor Client' do
the same.
     o For 'My Tor Server' do not store 'old'
values if greyed out, but always apply values.
This will 
       work because 'never run as server' is tied
to ClientOnly - which prevents Tor from
       functioning as a server.
     o Patch to 'About' dialog from Jonathan
Patrick Davies.

2007-12-07 Robert Hogan

at googlemail.com) 
     o Updated Czech tranlation from Marek Stopka.
    Bug Fixes/Feature Fixes
     o Fix crash when server changes address.
     o Fix scheduled bandwidth feature to work
reliably. 
     o More packaging related clean-ups.
     o Correct 'about' section. Patch from
Jonathan Patrick Davies (jpatrick at kubuntu.org).

    TorK 0.23 - The 'Oh For Crying Out Loud!'
Release
    Regression Fix
      o The feature 'Cope with new extra-info
handling for servers' in TorK 0.22 uses 
        a feature only available in the develoment
version of Tor, rendering 
        TorK unusable if it is launching, rather
than just connecting to, older 
        versions of Tor. Revert the change until
the new feature makes the Tor stable release.
        Thanks to Chris Giles for reporting.
    Bug Fixes/Feature Fixes
      o Fix nearly all compiler warnings in all
components.
      o Fix crash in libtorksocks if no
configuration file present.
      o Fix crash in libtorksocks if malformed
configuration file passed (Thanks to
        Brian Piatkus for reporting).
	  o Use reasonable Tor defaults if tsocks
configuration file malformed or absent. 
	  o Many build fixes for torksocks. Thanks to
Jonathan Patrick Davies. See
        PACKAGING for more information if you are
packaging TorK.
	  o Update to latest KDE admin build directory
