Tor 0.2.1.28 is released (security patches)

Tor 0.2.1.28 does some code cleanup to reduce the risk of remotely
exploitable bugs. Thanks to Willem Pinckaers for notifying us of the
issue. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned
CVE-2010-1676 to this issue.

We also took this opportunity to change the IP address for one of our
directory authorities, and to update the geoip database we ship.

All Tor users should upgrade.
