   o New system requirements:
     - Tor no longer supports versions of OpenSSL with a broken
-      implementation of counter mode.  (This bug was present in OpenSSL
-      1.0.0, and was fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.0a.) Tor still detects, but
-      no longer runs with, these versions.
-    - Tor no longer attempts to support platforms where the "time_t" type
-      is unsigned.  (To the best of our knowledge, only OpenVMS does this,
-      and Tor has never actually built on OpenVMS.)  Closes ticket 18184.
-
-  o Removed features:
-    - Streamline relay-side hsdir handling: when relays consider whether
-      to accept an uploaded hidden service descriptor, they no longer
-      check whether they are one of the relays in the network that is
-      "supposed" to handle that descriptor. Implements ticket 18332.
-    - We no longer maintain an internal freelist in memarea.c. Allocators
-      should be good enough to make this code unnecessary, and it's doubtful
-      that it ever had any performance benefit.
-
-  o Major bugfixes (dns proxy mode, crash):
-    - Avoid crashing when running as a DNS proxy. Fixes bug 16248; bugfix on
-      0.2.0.1-alpha. Patch from 'cypherpunks'.
