 "Torsocks 2.0 is now considered stable
  Torsocks is a wrapper program that will force an application’s network
  connections to go through the Tor network. David Goulet released
  version 2.0.0, blessing the new codebase as stable after more than a
  year of efforts.
  David’s original email highlighted several reasons for a complete
  rewrite of torsocks. Among the issues were maintainability, error
  handling, thread safety, and a lack of proper compatibility layer for
  multiple architectures. The new implementation addresses all these
  issues while staying about the same size as the previous version (4,000
  lines of C according to sloccount), and test coverage has been vastly
  extended.
  Torsocks comes in handy when a piece of software does not natively
  support the use of a SOCKS proxy. In most cases, the new version may be
  safer, as torsocks will prevent DNS requests and non-torified
  connections from happening.
  Integrators and power users should watch their steps while migrating to
  the new version. The configuration file format has changed, and some
  applications might behave differently as more system calls are now
  restricted.
