(Get the code!)
I think the intro to the announcement summarizes it best:
"Tor 0.2.0.30 switches to a more efficient directory distribution design,
adds features to make connections to the Tor network harder to block,
allows Tor to act as a DNS proxy, adds separate rate limiting for relayed
traffic to make it easier for clients to become relays, fixes a variety
of potential anonymity problems, and includes the usual huge pile of
other features and bug fixes."
The new directory protocol is a big improvement, and the DNS proxy is major new functionality which was lacking in 0.x.
I don't think the Tor network will be blocking the previous version in the immediate future, so we should be safe as far as that is concerned. I had hoped to get the request in earlier in the release cycle, but sometimes these things just don't work out. I'll leave it at the discretion of the Ubuntu people to whether this can be included or not. If not, please adjust the bug to apply to the next milestone.
