 Clearly Tor needs to ship with a working Polipo, so if this is a real
 fault would the bundle developers please revert to the version which
 was in the Vidalia 0.2.9 bundle, which is still working.

The difference is that the PPC bundle with vidalia 0.2.9 was built on a
10.3.9 ppc mac.  However, the 10.3.9 machine died a smelly, melty
death during a build a few months ago. The current bundles are built on
a 10.5 ppc mac with backwards compatibility for 10.3.9 (at least
according to xcode/gcc).  

Clearly Apple's backwards compatibility options don't work.

They're built with backwards compatibility for 10.4. 10.3 is not supported at
this point, unless someone sends me a patch.

I may be wrong about this, but I believe it's more of a software issue 
than a hardware one. The last version of Xcode produced for 10.3 is 
known to produce some wonky, apparently random errors in some 
applications when they are run on 10.4 and 10.5. I imagine that 10.4 and 
above are much more prevalent on current live machines (although I'd 
love to see some hard data either way on that one), so given one 
dedicated PPC build machine I imagine the emphasis should be placed on 
producing stable applications for 10.4 and 10.5 (10.6 being Intel-only). 
Xcode for 10.5 is known to produce applications that play fairly nice 
with 10.4, but again, things sometimes get wonky with 10.3 (and then 
again, sometimes not).


That's not to say, of course, that if you happened to find and old mac 
and some 10.3 disks laying around, that a donation wouldn't be 
appreciated =)

If that bundle contains a CHANGES file for Polipo, the last entry in it

We do not know of any new bug tracker for Polipo.  If you have a bug

 Thank you.
There is a Changes.txt file in the .dmg, but it doesn't mention the
Polipo version number, it's mainly concerned with Vidalia changes.
I can't see any other file with 'Changes' or 'Version' in the name in
the .app folder, other than in the Quicktime section.

 (see https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/polipo-users).

Please note that Polipo is very short on manpower -- there's only me
working on it in my copious free time, and it's my nth project, for some
large value of n.  As Robert mentioned, you're welcome to report your
bug on the Polipo mailing list, but please don't expect a timely fix.
