I've switched the default cipher from Salsa20 to Salsa20/8. I had always intended to do this, it was just a question of getting a good implementation of Salsa20/8 first.
However, this entails an ABI and wire protocol break. Hopefully there won't be many more of these. So I've uploaded new tarballs for Firefox and libobstcp. Also, there's now a tarball for Firefox built on IA32 Linux (currently untested).

I was thinking about the case where the DNS advertisement isn't available. The browser will try and fetch example.com/favicon.ico at some point the process. In theory you could fetch that first, and it would tell you if the server supports the obfuscation system. (You could even fetch it when you mouse-over a link) Seeing as it would eventually be fetched anyway, the overall time to finish loading a page would remain the same. And it doesn't really matter if the icons travel the internet in clear.
