Tor Browser 7.0.2 is now available from the Tor Browser Project page and also from our distribution directory.

This release features an important security update to Tor.

We are updating Tor to version 0.3.0.9, fixing a path selection bug that would allow a client to use a guard that was in the same network family as a chosen exit relay. This release also updates HTTPS-Everywhere to 5.2.19.

Here is the full changelog since 7.0.1:

        All Platforms

                Update Tor to 0.3.0.9, fixing bug #22753
                Update HTTPS-Everywhere to 5.2.19

    I2P uses Java, which is dead in the water as it relates to anything security-related.

    I2P uses Java, which is dead in the water as it relates to anything security-related.

    The late Java plugin was security-bug riddled, may Gods rest its sole in the same place as the Flash plugin.
    Java as the SDK and virtual machine are as safe as anything else software, heaps of finance institutions use it.
