The maintainer of the security/tor port, yuri@rawbw.com, asked me to ping this list about committing a patch to bump Tor to version 0.2.8.7, a critical update. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212124 Further details in the link below, but suffice to say that this new version of Tor is super important for maintaining the health of the Tor 'bridge' relay infrastructure. 'Bridges' are the secret(ish) entry relays that Tor's most vulnerable users rely on, in despotic countries etc. These special relays can help users sneak into the anonymisation network, if otherwise blocked and/or monitored. https://blog.torproject.org/blog/new-bridge-authority Thanks for all your great work!

Somebody has made a patch updating tor to 0.2.8.7 even before I started on it. I approved it, but it hasn't been committed yet: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212124 You can write to ports@FreeBSD.org (mailing list) and ask them to commit it. Thanks, Yuri
