Hi,

I just compiled and testet the new version. Using this, I was able to  
contact core.onion, the v2 descriptor testpage and the example hidden  
service. On core.onion, I clicked a few random links. Most were not  
working, but in the logs, the error message is different - I get  
"[Notice] Closing stream for '[scrubbed].onion': hidden service is  
unavailable (try again later)." which I guess means that the service  
is down. Also, I got a few "[Notice] Tried for 120 seconds to get a  
connection to [scrubbed]:80. Giving up. (waiting for circuit)"
 and "[Notice] Rend stream is 120 seconds late. Giving up on address  
'[scrubbed].onion'." in my logs.

I hope this can help you

Best
Sebastian
