Changelog:

2.0.2                                       (2012-04-19)

  * Fix a weird wrong DOM-origin bug that occurred while redirects were in
    progress (this might have security implications, although we are unsure
    if it was exploitable).
    https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/5477
  * By default, use https://google.co.cctld instead of
    encrypted.google.com
  * Add an optional ruleset to use https://www.google.com
    instead of encrypted.google.com, too
  * Ruleset fixes: Debian, Kohls, Malwarebytes, Yandex, Wikipedia, Mises.org,
                   OpenDNS, Wizards of the Coast, Lenovo, Barnes and Noble

  * Stumble across more horrible security holes in the Verizon website:
    https://mail1.eff.org/pipermail/https-everywhere-rules/2012-February/001003.html
  * Disable the Gentoo ruleset on non-CAcert platforms
  * Disable buggy rulesets: IBM, Scribd, Wunderground :( :( :(
