Can I please clarify something.
The latest stable release for Windows and Ubuntu is called 0.2.1.27.
My version for Ubuntu is 0.2.1.26.
If one has placed the correct commands in one's /etc/apt/sources.list as
detailed here (https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en) then why is
it that Synpaptic Package Manager has not asked me if I want to download
0.2.1.27?
I have also just done sudo apt-get upgrade and sudo apt-get update and
still I am using 0.2.1.26.
I see that you can manually download and install the 0.2.1.27 with the
tarball but here (https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en) the
page says to use the sources.list option if one is using Ubuntu.
I am curious how to get 0.2.1.27 in the preferred way when using Ubuntu.
Thanks!

Yet another OpenSSL security patch broke its compatibility with Tor:
Tor 0.2.2.19-alpha makes relays work with OpenSSL 0.9.8p and 1.0.0.b.

Changes in version 0.2.2.19-alpha - 2010-11-21
o Major bugfixes:
- Resolve an incompatibility with openssl 0.9.8p and openssl 1.0.0b:
No longer set the tlsext_host_name extension on server SSL objects;
but continue to set it on client SSL objects. Our goal in setting
it was to imitate a browser, not a vhosting server. Fixes bug 2204;
bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Try harder not to exceed the maximum length of 50 KB when writing
statistics to extra-info descriptors. This bug was triggered by very
fast relays reporting exit-port, entry, and dirreq statistics.
Reported by Olaf Selke. Bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha. Fixes bug 2183.
- Publish a router descriptor even if generating an extra-info
descriptor fails. Previously we would not publish a router
descriptor without an extra-info descriptor; this can cause fast
exit relays collecting exit-port statistics to drop from the
consensus. Bugfix on 0.1.2.9-rc; fixes bug 2195.
