 Changes in version 0.2.6.1-alpha - 2014-??-??
 
 
+Changes in version 0.2.5.8-rc - 2014-09-22
+  Tor 0.2.5.8-rc is the second release candidate for the Tor 0.2.5.x
+  series. It fixes a bug that affects consistency and speed when
+  connecting to hidden services, and it updates the location of one of
+  the directory authorities.
+
+  o Major bugfixes:
+    - Clients now send the correct address for their chosen rendezvous
+      point when trying to access a hidden service. They used to send
+      the wrong address, which would still work some of the time because
+      they also sent the identity digest of the rendezvous point, and if
+      the hidden service happened to try connecting to the rendezvous
+      point from a relay that already had a connection open to it,
+      the relay would reuse that connection. Now connections to hidden
+      services should be more robust and faster. Also, this bug meant
+      that clients were leaking to the hidden service whether they were
+      on a little-endian (common) or big-endian (rare) system, which for
+      some users might have reduced their anonymity. Fixes bug 13151;
+      bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
+
+  o Directory authority changes:
+    - Change IP address for gabelmoo (v3 directory authority).
+
+
+Changes in version 0.2.4.24 - 2014-09-22
+  Tor 0.2.4.24 fixes a bug that affects consistency and speed when
+  connecting to hidden services, and it updates the location of one of
