The Tor 0.2.4 release series is dedicated to the memory of Aaron Swartz (1986-2013). Aaron worked on diverse projects including helping to guide Creative Commons, playing a key role in stopping SOPA/PIPA, bringing transparency to the U.S. government‘s PACER documents, and contributing design and development for Tor and Tor2Web. Aaron was one of the latest
martyrs in our collective fight for civil liberties and human rights, and his death is all the more painful because he was one of us.
