Hi!

I added r566 to the source packages but there's actually no important 
difference. OnionCat can do /etc/hosts-lookups (option -H) which is a feature 
that was implemented long time ago for I2P (Garlicat). I added this now for 
Tor version (OnionCat) because the Tor project will change their crypto system 
at some time in the future. This will have an impact on OnionCat as well and 
I'm working on solutions. But as I said this is happening in the future.

The revision in the SVN increased also because I'm porting it to Android which 
made some minor changes in the build chain necessary.

For Jessie all these changes in revisions makes no difference. Thus you can 
stick to 559 if it is less work for you but you can go with 566 as well if 
you'd like to have it at a more recent version.

Best regards,
Bernhard
