The latest development release is 0.2.0.5-alpha.

http://tor.eff.org/dist/tor-0.2.0.5-alpha.tar.gz

As a sidenote, the Changelog (http://tor.eff.org/svn/trunk/ChangeLog) for the version says "...This will stop Tor versions 0.1.0.x and earlier from working, but (for security reasons) nobody should be running those versions anyway." So those ebuilds should probably be removed.

Uuuh, definitely not until this gets out of alpha? :)

The -alpha is clearly a red sign that users should notice before plaging the gentoo bugzilla. Also users should double, triple check before opening bugs:

1- Is there a security issue being solved by the alpha code? No? Do not open a bug.

2- Are there and 0.1.0.* ebuilds in the tree for you to say that they need to be removed? http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/net-misc/tor/?hideattic=0
No! They were removed at least two months ago.

3- If you visite the tor page you will see that the 0.1.2.* series is the stable series and ALL of the 0.2.0.* series is the development tree. If you need 0.2.0.* please provide a ebuild and I'll add it p.masked.
