+Changes in version 0.2.8.15 - 2017-09-18
+  Tor 0.2.8.15 backports a collection of bugfixes from later
+  Tor series.
+
+  Most significantly, it includes a fix for TROVE-2017-008, a
+  security bug that affects hidden services running with the
+  SafeLogging option disabled. For more information, see
+  https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23490
+
+  Note that Tor 0.2.8.x will no longer be supported after 1 Jan
+  2018.  We suggest that you upgrade to the latest stable release if
+  possible.  If you can't, we recommend that you upgrade at least to
+  0.2.9, which will be supported until 2020.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (openbsd, denial-of-service, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+    - Avoid an assertion failure bug affecting our implementation of
+      inet_pton(AF_INET6) on certain OpenBSD systems whose strtol()
+      handling of "0xx" differs from what we had expected. Fixes bug
+      22789; bugfix on 0.2.3.8-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-007.
+
+  o Minor features:
+    - Update geoip and geoip6 to the September 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
+      Country database.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compilation, mingw, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
+    - Backport a fix for an "unused variable" warning that appeared
+      in some versions of mingw. Fixes bug 22838; bugfix on
+      0.2.8.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (defensive programming, undefined behavior, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
+    - Fix a memset() off the end of an array when packing cells. This
+      bug should be harmless in practice, since the corrupted bytes are
+      still in the same structure, and are always padding bytes,
+      ignored, or immediately overwritten, depending on compiler
+      behavior. Nevertheless, because the memset()'s purpose is to make
+      sure that any other cell-handling bugs can't expose bytes to the
+      network, we need to fix it. Fixes bug 22737; bugfix on
+      0.2.4.11-alpha. Fixes CID 1401591.
+
+  o Build features (backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+    - Tor's repository now includes a Travis Continuous Integration (CI)
+      configuration file (.travis.yml). This is meant to help new
+      developers and contributors who fork Tor to a Github repository be
+      better able to test their changes, and understand what we expect
+      to pass. To use this new build feature, you must fork Tor to your
+      Github account, then go into the "Integrations" menu in the
+      repository settings for your fork and enable Travis, then push
+      your changes. Closes ticket 22636.
+
+
+Changes in version 0.2.9.12 - 2017-09-18
+  Tor 0.2.9.12 backports a collection of bugfixes from later
+  Tor series.
+
+  Most significantly, it includes a fix for TROVE-2017-008, a
+  security bug that affects hidden services running with the
+  SafeLogging option disabled. For more information, see
+  https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23490
+
+  o Major features (security, backport from 0.3.0.2-alpha):
+    - Change the algorithm used to decide DNS TTLs on client and server
+      side, to better resist DNS-based correlation attacks like the
+      DefecTor attack of Greschbach, Pulls, Roberts, Winter, and
+      Feamster. Now relays only return one of two possible DNS TTL
+      values, and clients are willing to believe DNS TTL values up to 3
+      hours long. Closes ticket 19769.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (crash, directory connections, backport from 0.3.0.5-rc):
+    - Fix a rare crash when sending a begin cell on a circuit whose
+      linked directory connection had already been closed. Fixes bug
+      21576; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. Reported by Alec Muffett.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (DNS, backport from 0.3.0.2-alpha):
+    - Fix a bug that prevented exit nodes from caching DNS records for
+      more than 60 seconds. Fixes bug 19025; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (linux TPROXY support, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
+    - Fix a typo that had prevented TPROXY-based transparent proxying
+      from working under Linux. Fixes bug 18100; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
+      Patch from "d4fq0fQAgoJ".
+
+  o Major bugfixes (openbsd, denial-of-service, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+    - Avoid an assertion failure bug affecting our implementation of
+      inet_pton(AF_INET6) on certain OpenBSD systems whose strtol()
+      handling of "0xx" differs from what we had expected. Fixes bug
+      22789; bugfix on 0.2.3.8-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-007.
+
+  o Minor features (code style, backport from 0.3.1.3-alpha):
+    - Add "Falls through" comments to our codebase, in order to silence
+      GCC 7's -Wimplicit-fallthrough warnings. Patch from Andreas
+      Stieger. Closes ticket 22446.
+
+  o Minor features (geoip):
+    - Update geoip and geoip6 to the September 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
+      Country database.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (bandwidth accounting, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
+    - Roll over monthly accounting at the configured hour and minute,
+      rather than always at 00:00. Fixes bug 22245; bugfix on 0.0.9rc1.
+      Found by Andrey Karpov with PVS-Studio.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+    - Suppress -Wdouble-promotion warnings with clang 4.0. Fixes bug 22915;
+      bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+    - Fix warnings when building with libscrypt and openssl scrypt support
+      on Clang. Fixes bug 22916; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
+    - When building with certain versions the mingw C header files, avoid
+      float-conversion warnings when calling the C functions isfinite(),
+      isnan(), and signbit(). Fixes bug 22801; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.1.7):
+    - Avoid compiler warnings in the unit tests for running tor_sscanf()
+      with wide string outputs. Fixes bug 15582; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compilation, mingw, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
+    - Backport a fix for an "unused variable" warning that appeared
+      in some versions of mingw. Fixes bug 22838; bugfix on
+      0.2.8.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (controller, backport from 0.3.1.7):
+    - Do not crash when receiving a HSPOST command with an empty body.
+      Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
+    - Do not crash when receiving a POSTDESCRIPTOR command with an
+      empty body. Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (coverity build support, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+    - Avoid Coverity build warnings related to our BUG() macro. By
+      default, Coverity treats BUG() as the Linux kernel does: an
+      instant abort(). We need to override that so our BUG() macro
+      doesn't prevent Coverity from analyzing functions that use it.
+      Fixes bug 23030; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (defensive programming, undefined behavior, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
+    - Fix a memset() off the end of an array when packing cells. This
+      bug should be harmless in practice, since the corrupted bytes are
+      still in the same structure, and are always padding bytes,
+      ignored, or immediately overwritten, depending on compiler
+      behavior. Nevertheless, because the memset()'s purpose is to make
+      sure that any other cell-handling bugs can't expose bytes to the
+      network, we need to fix it. Fixes bug 22737; bugfix on
+      0.2.4.11-alpha. Fixes CID 1401591.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (file limits, osx, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+    - When setting the maximum number of connections allowed by the OS,
+      always allow some extra file descriptors for other files. Fixes
+      bug 22797; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+    - Avoid a sandbox failure when trying to re-bind to a socket and
+      mark it as IPv6-only. Fixes bug 20247; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
+    - Permit the fchmod system call, to avoid crashing on startup when
+      starting with the seccomp2 sandbox and an unexpected set of
+      permissions on the data directory or its contents. Fixes bug
+      22516; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (relay, backport from 0.3.0.5-rc):
+    - Avoid a double-marked-circuit warning that could happen when we
+      receive DESTROY cells under heavy load. Fixes bug 20059; bugfix
+      on 0.1.0.1-rc.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (voting consistency, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
+    - Reject version numbers with non-numeric prefixes (such as +, -, or
+      whitespace). Disallowing whitespace prevents differential version
+      parsing between POSIX-based and Windows platforms. Fixes bug 21507
+      and part of 21508; bugfix on 0.0.8pre1.
+
+  o Build features (backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+    - Tor's repository now includes a Travis Continuous Integration (CI)
+      configuration file (.travis.yml). This is meant to help new
+      developers and contributors who fork Tor to a Github repository be
+      better able to test their changes, and understand what we expect

+      Github account, then go into the "Integrations" menu in the
+      repository settings for your fork and enable Travis, then push

+  Tor 0.3.0.11 backports a collection of bugfixes from Tor the 0.3.1
+  series.
+
+  Most significantly, it includes a fix for TROVE-2017-008, a
+  security bug that affects hidden services running with the
+  SafeLogging option disabled. For more information, see

+
+  o Minor bugfixes (controller, backport from 0.3.1.7):
+    - Do not crash when receiving a HSPOST command with an empty body.
+      Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
+    - Do not crash when receiving a POSTDESCRIPTOR command with an empty
+      body. Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (file limits, osx, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+    - When setting the maximum number of connections allowed by the OS,
+      always allow some extra file descriptors for other files. Fixes
+      bug 22797; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (logging, relay, backport from 0.3.1.6-rc):
+    - Remove a forgotten debugging message when an introduction point
+      successfully establishes a hidden service prop224 circuit with
+      a client.
+    - Change three other log_warn() for an introduction point to
+      protocol warnings, because they can be failure from the network
+      and are not relevant to the operator. Fixes bug 23078; bugfix on
+      0.3.0.1-alpha and 0.3.0.2-alpha.
+
+
+Changes in version 0.3.1.7 - 2017-09-18
+  Tor 0.3.1.7 is the first stable release in the 0.3.1 series.
+
+  With the 0.3.1 series, Tor now serves and downloads directory
+  information in more compact formats, to save on bandwidth overhead. It
+  also contains a new padding system to resist netflow-based traffic
+  analysis, and experimental support for building parts of Tor in Rust
+  (though no parts of Tor are in Rust yet). There are also numerous
+  small features, bugfixes on earlier release series, and groundwork for
+  the hidden services revamp of 0.3.2.
+
+  This release also includes a fix for TROVE-2017-008, a security bug
+  that affects hidden services running with the SafeLogging option
+  disabled. For more information, see
+  https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23490
+
+  Per our stable release policy, we plan to support each stable release
+  series for at least the next nine months, or for three months after
+  the first stable release of the next series: whichever is longer. If
+  you need a release with long-term support, we recommend that you stay
+  with the 0.2.9 series.
+
+  Below is a list of the changes since 0.3.1.6-rc. For a list of all
+  changes since 0.3.0, see the ReleaseNotes file.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (security, hidden services, loggging):
+    - Fix a bug where we could log uninitialized stack when a certain
+      hidden service error occurred while SafeLogging was disabled.
+      Fixes bug #23490; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. This is also tracked as
+      TROVE-2017-008 and CVE-2017-0380.
+
+  o Minor features (defensive programming):
+    - Create a pair of consensus parameters, nf_pad_tor2web and
+      nf_pad_single_onion, to disable netflow padding in the consensus
+      for non-anonymous connections in case the overhead is high. Closes
+      ticket 17857.
+
+  o Minor features (diagnostic):
+    - Add a stack trace to the bug warnings that can be logged when
+      trying to send an outgoing relay cell with n_chan == 0. Diagnostic
+      attempt for bug 23105.
+
+  o Minor features (geoip):
+    - Update geoip and geoip6 to the September 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
+      Country database.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
+    - Avoid compiler warnings in the unit tests for calling tor_sscanf()
+      with wide string outputs. Fixes bug 15582; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (controller):
+    - Do not crash when receiving a HSPOST command with an empty body.
+      Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
+    - Do not crash when receiving a POSTDESCRIPTOR command with an empty
+      body. Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (relay):
+    - Inform the geoip and rephist modules about all requests, even on
+      relays that are only fetching microdescriptors. Fixes a bug
+      related to 21585; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (unit tests):
+    - Fix a channelpadding unit test failure on slow systems by using
+      mocked time instead of actual time. Fixes bug 23077; bugfix
+      on 0.3.1.1-alpha.

+      empty body. Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (coverity build support, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+    - Avoid Coverity build warnings related to our BUG() macro. By
+      default, Coverity treats BUG() as the Linux kernel does: an
+      instant abort(). We need to override that so our BUG() macro
+      doesn't prevent Coverity from analyzing functions that use it.
+      Fixes bug 23030; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (defensive programming, undefined behavior, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
+    - Fix a memset() off the end of an array when packing cells. This
+      bug should be harmless in practice, since the corrupted bytes are
+      still in the same structure, and are always padding bytes,
+      ignored, or immediately overwritten, depending on compiler
+      behavior. Nevertheless, because the memset()'s purpose is to make
+      sure that any other cell-handling bugs can't expose bytes to the
+      network, we need to fix it. Fixes bug 22737; bugfix on
+      0.2.4.11-alpha. Fixes CID 1401591.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (file limits, osx, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+    - When setting the maximum number of connections allowed by the OS,
+      always allow some extra file descriptors for other files. Fixes
+      bug 22797; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+    - Avoid a sandbox failure when trying to re-bind to a socket and
+      mark it as IPv6-only. Fixes bug 20247; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
+    - Permit the fchmod system call, to avoid crashing on startup when
+      starting with the seccomp2 sandbox and an unexpected set of
+      permissions on the data directory or its contents. Fixes bug
+      22516; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (relay, backport from 0.3.0.5-rc):
+    - Avoid a double-marked-circuit warning that could happen when we
+      receive DESTROY cells under heavy load. Fixes bug 20059; bugfix
+      on 0.1.0.1-rc.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (voting consistency, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
+    - Reject version numbers with non-numeric prefixes (such as +, -, or
+      whitespace). Disallowing whitespace prevents differential version
+      parsing between POSIX-based and Windows platforms. Fixes bug 21507
+      and part of 21508; bugfix on 0.0.8pre1.
+
+  o Build features (backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+    - Tor's repository now includes a Travis Continuous Integration (CI)
+      configuration file (.travis.yml). This is meant to help new
+      developers and contributors who fork Tor to a Github repository be
+      better able to test their changes, and understand what we expect
+      to pass. To use this new build feature, you must fork Tor to your
+      Github account, then go into the "Integrations" menu in the
+      repository settings for your fork and enable Travis, then push
+      your changes. Closes ticket 22636.
+
+
+Changes in version 0.3.0.11 - 2017-09-18
+  Tor 0.3.0.11 backports a collection of bugfixes from Tor the 0.3.1
+  series.
+
+  Most significantly, it includes a fix for TROVE-2017-008, a
+  security bug that affects hidden services running with the
+  SafeLogging option disabled. For more information, see
+  https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23490
+
+  o Minor features (code style, backport from 0.3.1.7):
+    - Add "Falls through" comments to our codebase, in order to silence
+      GCC 7's -Wimplicit-fallthrough warnings. Patch from Andreas
+      Stieger. Closes ticket 22446.
+
+  o Minor features:
+    - Update geoip and geoip6 to the September 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
+      Country database.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.1.7):
+    - Avoid compiler warnings in the unit tests for calling tor_sscanf()
+      with wide string outputs. Fixes bug 15582; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (controller, backport from 0.3.1.7):
+    - Do not crash when receiving a HSPOST command with an empty body.
+      Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
+    - Do not crash when receiving a POSTDESCRIPTOR command with an empty
+      body. Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (file limits, osx, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+    - When setting the maximum number of connections allowed by the OS,
+      always allow some extra file descriptors for other files. Fixes
+      bug 22797; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (logging, relay, backport from 0.3.1.6-rc):
+    - Remove a forgotten debugging message when an introduction point
+      successfully establishes a hidden service prop224 circuit with
+      a client.
+    - Change three other log_warn() for an introduction point to
+      protocol warnings, because they can be failure from the network
+      and are not relevant to the operator. Fixes bug 23078; bugfix on
+      0.3.0.1-alpha and 0.3.0.2-alpha.
+
+
+Changes in version 0.3.1.7 - 2017-09-18
+  Tor 0.3.1.7 is the first stable release in the 0.3.1 series.
+
+  With the 0.3.1 series, Tor now serves and downloads directory
+  information in more compact formats, to save on bandwidth overhead. It
+  also contains a new padding system to resist netflow-based traffic
+  analysis, and experimental support for building parts of Tor in Rust
+  (though no parts of Tor are in Rust yet). There are also numerous
+  small features, bugfixes on earlier release series, and groundwork for
+  the hidden services revamp of 0.3.2.
+
+  This release also includes a fix for TROVE-2017-008, a security bug
+  that affects hidden services running with the SafeLogging option
+  disabled. For more information, see
+  https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23490
+
+  Per our stable release policy, we plan to support each stable release
+  series for at least the next nine months, or for three months after
+  the first stable release of the next series: whichever is longer. If
+  you need a release with long-term support, we recommend that you stay
+  with the 0.2.9 series.
+
+  Below is a list of the changes since 0.3.0. For a list of all
+  changes since 0.3.1.6-rc, see the ChangeLog file.
+
+  o New dependencies:
+    - To build with zstd and lzma support, Tor now requires the
+      pkg-config tool at build time.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (security, hidden services, loggging):
+    - Fix a bug where we could log uninitialized stack when a certain
+      hidden service error occurred while SafeLogging was disabled.
+      Fixes bug #23490; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
+      This is also tracked as TROVE-2017-008 and CVE-2017-0380.
+
+  o Major features (build system, continuous integration):
+    - Tor's repository now includes a Travis Continuous Integration (CI)
+      configuration file (.travis.yml). This is meant to help new
+      developers and contributors who fork Tor to a Github repository be
+      better able to test their changes, and understand what we expect
+      to pass. To use this new build feature, you must fork Tor to your
+      Github account, then go into the "Integrations" menu in the
+      repository settings for your fork and enable Travis, then push
+      your changes. Closes ticket 22636.
+
+  o Major features (directory protocol):
+    - Tor relays and authorities can now serve clients an abbreviated
+      version of the consensus document, containing only the changes
+      since an older consensus document that the client holds. Clients
+      now request these documents when available. When both client and
+      server use this new protocol, they will use far less bandwidth (up
+      to 94% less) to keep the client's consensus up-to-date. Implements
+      proposal 140; closes ticket 13339. Based on work by Daniel Martí.
+    - Tor can now compress directory traffic with lzma or with zstd
+      compression algorithms, which can deliver better bandwidth
+      performance. Because lzma is computationally expensive, it's only
+      used for documents that can be compressed once and served many
+      times. Support for these algorithms requires that tor is built
+      with the libzstd and/or liblzma libraries available. Implements
+      proposal 278; closes ticket 21662.
+    - Relays now perform the more expensive compression operations, and
+      consensus diff generation, in worker threads. This separation
+      avoids delaying the main thread when a new consensus arrives.
+
+  o Major features (experimental):
+    - Tor can now build modules written in Rust. To turn this on, pass
+      the "--enable-rust" flag to the configure script. It's not time to
+      get excited yet: currently, there is no actual Rust functionality
+      beyond some simple glue code, and a notice at startup to tell you
+      that Rust is running. Still, we hope that programmers and
+      packagers will try building Tor with Rust support, so that we can
+      find issues and solve portability problems. Closes ticket 22106.
+
+  o Major features (traffic analysis resistance):
+    - Connections between clients and relays now send a padding cell in
+      each direction every 1.5 to 9.5 seconds (tunable via consensus
+      parameters). This padding will not resist specialized
+      eavesdroppers, but it should be enough to make many ISPs' routine
+      network flow logging less useful in traffic analysis against
+      Tor users.
+
+      Padding is negotiated using Tor's link protocol, so both relays
+      and clients must upgrade for this to take effect. Clients may
+      still send padding despite the relay's version by setting
+      ConnectionPadding 1 in torrc, and may disable padding by setting
+      ConnectionPadding 0 in torrc. Padding may be minimized for mobile
+      users with the torrc option ReducedConnectionPadding. Implements
+      Proposal 251 and Section 2 of Proposal 254; closes ticket 16861.
+    - Relays will publish 24 hour totals of padding and non-padding cell
+      counts to their extra-info descriptors, unless PaddingStatistics 0
+      is set in torrc. These 24 hour totals are also rounded to
+      multiples of 10000.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (hidden service, relay, security):
+    - Fix a remotely triggerable assertion failure when a hidden service
+      handles a malformed BEGIN cell. Fixes bug 22493, tracked as
+      TROVE-2017-004 and as CVE-2017-0375; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+    - Fix a remotely triggerable assertion failure caused by receiving a
+      BEGIN_DIR cell on a hidden service rendezvous circuit. Fixes bug
+      22494, tracked as TROVE-2017-005 and CVE-2017-0376; bugfix
+      on 0.2.2.1-alpha.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (path selection, security):
+    - When choosing which guard to use for a circuit, avoid the exit's
+      family along with the exit itself. Previously, the new guard
+      selection logic avoided the exit, but did not consider its family.
+      Fixes bug 22753; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. Tracked as TROVE-2017-
+      006 and CVE-2017-0377.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (connection usage):
+    - We use NETINFO cells to try to determine if both relays involved
+      in a connection will agree on the canonical status of that
+      connection. We prefer the connections where this is the case for
+      extend cells, and try to close connections where relays disagree
+      on their canonical status early. Also, we now prefer the oldest
+      valid connection for extend cells. These two changes should reduce
+      the number of long-term connections that are kept open between
+      relays. Fixes bug 17604; bugfix on 0.2.5.5-alpha.
+    - Relays now log hourly statistics (look for
+      "channel_check_for_duplicates" lines) on the total number of
+      connections to other relays. If the number of connections per
+      relay is unexpectedly large, this log message is at notice level.
+      Otherwise it is at info.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (entry guards):
+    - When starting with an old consensus, do not add new entry guards
+      unless the consensus is "reasonably live" (under 1 day old). Fixes
+      one root cause of bug 22400; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+    - Don't block bootstrapping when a primary bridge is offline and we
+      can't get its descriptor. Fixes bug 22325; fixes one case of bug
+      21969; bugfix on 0.3.0.3-alpha.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (linux TPROXY support):
+    - Fix a typo that had prevented TPROXY-based transparent proxying
+      from working under Linux. Fixes bug 18100; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
+      Patch from "d4fq0fQAgoJ".
+
+  o Major bugfixes (openbsd, denial-of-service):
+    - Avoid an assertion failure bug affecting our implementation of
+      inet_pton(AF_INET6) on certain OpenBSD systems whose strtol()
+      handling of "0xx" differs from what we had expected. Fixes bug
+      22789; bugfix on 0.2.3.8-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-007.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (relay, link handshake):
+    - When performing the v3 link handshake on a TLS connection, report
+      that we have the x509 certificate that we actually used on that
+      connection, even if we have changed certificates since that
+      connection was first opened. Previously, we would claim to have
+      used our most recent x509 link certificate, which would sometimes
+      make the link handshake fail. Fixes one case of bug 22460; bugfix
+      on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (relays, key management):
+    - Regenerate link and authentication certificates whenever the key
+      that signs them changes; also, regenerate link certificates
+      whenever the signed key changes. Previously, these processes were
+      only weakly coupled, and we relays could (for minutes to hours)
+      wind up with an inconsistent set of keys and certificates, which
+      other relays would not accept. Fixes two cases of bug 22460;
+      bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+    - When sending an Ed25519 signing->link certificate in a CERTS cell,
+      send the certificate that matches the x509 certificate that we
+      used on the TLS connection. Previously, there was a race condition
+      if the TLS context rotated after we began the TLS handshake but
+      before we sent the CERTS cell. Fixes a case of bug 22460; bugfix
+      on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor features (security, windows):
+    - Enable a couple of pieces of Windows hardening: one
+      (HeapEnableTerminationOnCorruption) that has been on-by-default
+      since Windows 8, and unavailable before Windows 7; and one
+      (PROCESS_DEP_DISABLE_ATL_THUNK_EMULATION) which we believe doesn't
+      affect us, but shouldn't do any harm. Closes ticket 21953.
+
+  o Minor features (bridge authority):
+    - Add "fingerprint" lines to the networkstatus-bridges file produced
+      by bridge authorities. Closes ticket 22207.
+
+  o Minor features (code style):
+    - Add "Falls through" comments to our codebase, in order to silence
+      GCC 7's -Wimplicit-fallthrough warnings. Patch from Andreas
+      Stieger. Closes ticket 22446.
+
+  o Minor features (config options):
+    - Allow "%include" directives in torrc configuration files. These
+      directives import the settings from other files, or from all the
+      files in a directory. Closes ticket 1922. Code by Daniel Pinto.
+    - Make SAVECONF return an error when overwriting a torrc that has
+      includes. Using SAVECONF with the FORCE option will allow it to
+      overwrite torrc even if includes are used. Related to ticket 1922.
+    - Add "GETINFO config-can-saveconf" to tell controllers if SAVECONF
+      will work without the FORCE option. Related to ticket 1922.
+
+  o Minor features (controller):
+    - Warn the first time that a controller requests data in the long-
+      deprecated 'GETINFO network-status' format. Closes ticket 21703.
+
+  o Minor features (defaults):
+    - The default value for UseCreateFast is now 0: clients which
+      haven't yet received a consensus document will now use a proper
+      ntor handshake to talk to their directory servers whenever they
+      can. Closes ticket 21407.
+    - Onion key rotation and expiry intervals are now defined as a
+      network consensus parameter, per proposal 274. The default
+      lifetime of an onion key is increased from 7 to 28 days. Old onion
+      keys will expire after 7 days by default. This change will make
+      consensus diffs much smaller, and save significant bandwidth.
+      Closes ticket 21641.
+
+  o Minor features (defensive programming):
+    - Create a pair of consensus parameters, nf_pad_tor2web and
+      nf_pad_single_onion, to disable netflow padding in the consensus
+      for non-anonymous connections in case the overhead is high. Closes
+      ticket 17857.
+
+  o Minor features (diagnostic):
+    - Add a stack trace to the bug warnings that can be logged when
+      trying to send an outgoing relay cell with n_chan == 0. Diagnostic
+      attempt for bug 23105.
+    - Add logging messages to try to diagnose a rare bug that seems to
+      generate RSA->Ed25519 cross-certificates dated in the 1970s. We
+      think this is happening because of incorrect system clocks, but
+      we'd like to know for certain. Diagnostic for bug 22466.
+    - Avoid an assertion failure, and log a better error message, when
+      unable to remove a file from the consensus cache on Windows.
+      Attempts to mitigate and diagnose bug 22752.
+
+  o Minor features (directory authority):
+    - Improve the message that authorities report to relays that present
+      RSA/Ed25519 keypairs that conflict with previously pinned keys.
+      Closes ticket 22348.
+
+  o Minor features (directory cache, consensus diff):
+    - Add a new MaxConsensusAgeForDiffs option to allow directory cache
+      operators with low-resource environments to adjust the number of
+      consensuses they'll store and generate diffs from. Most cache
+      operators should leave it unchanged. Helps to work around
+      bug 22883.
+
+  o Minor features (fallback directory list):
+    - Update the fallback directory mirror whitelist and blacklist based
+      on operator emails. Closes task 21121.
+    - Replace the 177 fallbacks originally introduced in Tor 0.2.9.8 in
+      December 2016 (of which ~126 were still functional) with a list of
+      151 fallbacks (32 new, 119 unchanged, 58 removed) generated in May
+      2017. Resolves ticket 21564.
+
+  o Minor features (geoip):
+    - Update geoip and geoip6 to the September 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
+      Country database.
+
+  o Minor features (hidden services, logging):
+    - Log a message when a hidden service descriptor has fewer
+      introduction points than specified in
+      HiddenServiceNumIntroductionPoints. Closes tickets 21598.
+    - Log a message when a hidden service reaches its introduction point
+      circuit limit, and when that limit is reset. Follow up to ticket
+      21594; closes ticket 21622.
+    - Warn user if multiple entries in EntryNodes and at least one
+      HiddenService are used together. Pinning EntryNodes along with a
+      hidden service can be possibly harmful; for instance see ticket
+      14917 or 21155. Closes ticket 21155.
+
+  o Minor features (linux seccomp2 sandbox):
+    - We now have a document storage backend compatible with the Linux
+      seccomp2 sandbox. This backend is used for consensus documents and
+      diffs between them; in the long term, we'd like to use it for
+      unparseable directory material too. Closes ticket 21645
+    - Increase the maximum allowed size passed to mprotect(PROT_WRITE)
+      from 1MB to 16MB. This was necessary with the glibc allocator in
+      order to allow worker threads to allocate more memory -- which in
+      turn is necessary because of our new use of worker threads for
+      compression. Closes ticket 22096.
+
+  o Minor features (logging):
+    - Log files are no longer created world-readable by default.
+      (Previously, most distributors would store the logs in a non-
+      world-readable location to prevent inappropriate access. This
+      change is an extra precaution.) Closes ticket 21729; patch
+      from toralf.
+
+  o Minor features (performance):
+    - Our Keccak (SHA-3) implementation now accesses memory more
+      efficiently, especially on little-endian systems. Closes
+      ticket 21737.
+    - Add an O(1) implementation of channel_find_by_global_id(), to
+      speed some controller functions.
+
+  o Minor features (relay, configuration):
+    - The MyFamily option may now be repeated as many times as desired,
+      for relays that want to configure large families. Closes ticket
+      4998; patch by Daniel Pinto.
+
+  o Minor features (relay, performance):
+    - Always start relays with at least two worker threads, to prevent
+      priority inversion on slow tasks. Part of the fix for bug 22883.
+    - Allow background work to be queued with different priorities, so
+      that a big pile of slow low-priority jobs will not starve out
+      higher priority jobs. This lays the groundwork for a fix for
+      bug 22883.
+
+  o Minor features (safety):
+    - Add an explicit check to extrainfo_parse_entry_from_string() for
+      NULL inputs. We don't believe this can actually happen, but it may
+      help silence a warning from the Clang analyzer. Closes
+      ticket 21496.
+
+  o Minor features (testing):
+    - Add more tests for compression backend initialization. Closes
+      ticket 22286.
+    - Add a "--disable-memory-sentinels" feature to help with fuzzing.
+      When Tor is compiled with this option, we disable a number of
+      redundant memory-safety failsafes that are intended to stop bugs
+      from becoming security issues. This makes it easier to hunt for
+      bugs that would be security issues without the failsafes turned
+      on. Closes ticket 21439.
+    - Add a general event-tracing instrumentation support to Tor. This
+      subsystem will enable developers and researchers to add fine-
+      grained instrumentation to their Tor instances, for use when
+      examining Tor network performance issues. There are no trace
+      events yet, and event-tracing is off by default unless enabled at
+      compile time. Implements ticket 13802.
+    - Improve our version parsing tests: add tests for typical version
+      components, add tests for invalid versions, including numeric
+      range and non-numeric prefixes. Unit tests 21278, 21450, and
+      21507. Partially implements 21470.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (bandwidth accounting):
+    - Roll over monthly accounting at the configured hour and minute,
+      rather than always at 00:00. Fixes bug 22245; bugfix on 0.0.9rc1.
+      Found by Andrey Karpov with PVS-Studio.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (code correctness):
+    - Accurately identify client connections by their lack of peer
+      authentication. This means that we bail out earlier if asked to
+      extend to a client. Follow-up to 21407. Fixes bug 21406; bugfix
+      on 0.2.4.23.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compilation warnings):
+    - Suppress -Wdouble-promotion warnings with clang 4.0. Fixes bug
+      22915; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+    - Fix warnings when building with libscrypt and openssl scrypt
+      support on Clang. Fixes bug 22916; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
+    - When building with certain versions of the mingw C header files,
+      avoid float-conversion warnings when calling the C functions
+      isfinite(), isnan(), and signbit(). Fixes bug 22801; bugfix
+      on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
+    - Avoid compiler warnings in the unit tests for calling tor_sscanf()
+      with wide string outputs. Fixes bug 15582; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compression):
+    - When spooling compressed data to an output buffer, don't try to
+      spool more data when there is no more data to spool and we are not
+      trying to flush the input. Previously, we would sometimes launch
+      compression requests with nothing to do, which interferes with our
+      22672 checks. Fixes bug 22719; bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (configuration):
+    - Do not crash when starting with LearnCircuitBuildTimeout 0. Fixes
+      bug 22252; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (connection lifespan):
+    - Allow more control over how long TLS connections are kept open:
+      unify CircuitIdleTimeout and PredictedPortsRelevanceTime into a
+      single option called CircuitsAvailableTimeout. Also, allow the
+      consensus to control the default values for both this preference
+      and the lifespan of relay-to-relay connections. Fixes bug 17592;
+      bugfix on 0.2.5.5-alpha.
+    - Increase the initial circuit build timeout testing frequency, to
+      help ensure that ReducedConnectionPadding clients finish learning
+      a timeout before their orconn would expire. The initial testing
+      rate was set back in the days of TAP and before the Tor Browser
+      updater, when we had to be much more careful about new clients
+      making lots of circuits. With this change, a circuit build timeout
+      is learned in about 15-20 minutes, instead of 100-120 minutes.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (controller):
+    - Do not crash when receiving a HSPOST command with an empty body.
+      Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
+    - Do not crash when receiving a POSTDESCRIPTOR command with an empty
+      body. Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
+    - GETINFO onions/current and onions/detached no longer respond with
+      551 on empty lists. Fixes bug 21329; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
+    - Trigger HS descriptor events on the control port when the client
+      fails to pick a hidden service directory for a hidden service.
+      This can happen if all the hidden service directories are in
+      ExcludeNodes, or they have all been queried within the last 15
+      minutes. Fixes bug 22042; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (correctness):
+    - Avoid undefined behavior when parsing IPv6 entries from the geoip6
+      file. Fixes bug 22490; bugfix on 0.2.4.6-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (coverity build support):
+    - Avoid Coverity build warnings related to our BUG() macro. By
+      default, Coverity treats BUG() as the Linux kernel does: an
+      instant abort(). We need to override that so our BUG() macro
+      doesn't prevent Coverity from analyzing functions that use it.
+      Fixes bug 23030; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (defensive programming):
+    - Detect and break out of infinite loops in our compression code. We
+      don't think that any such loops exist now, but it's best to be
+      safe. Closes ticket 22672.
+    - Fix a memset() off the end of an array when packing cells. This
+      bug should be harmless in practice, since the corrupted bytes are
+      still in the same structure, and are always padding bytes,
+      ignored, or immediately overwritten, depending on compiler
+      behavior. Nevertheless, because the memset()'s purpose is to make
+      sure that any other cell-handling bugs can't expose bytes to the
+      network, we need to fix it. Fixes bug 22737; bugfix on
+      0.2.4.11-alpha. Fixes CID 1401591.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (directory authority):
+    - When a directory authority rejects a descriptor or extrainfo with
+      a given digest, mark that digest as undownloadable, so that we do
+      not attempt to download it again over and over. We previously
+      tried to avoid downloading such descriptors by other means, but we
+      didn't notice if we accidentally downloaded one anyway. This
+      behavior became problematic in 0.2.7.2-alpha, when authorities
+      began pinning Ed25519 keys. Fixes bug 22349; bugfix
+      on 0.2.1.19-alpha.
+    - When rejecting a router descriptor for running an obsolete version
+      of Tor without ntor support, warn about the obsolete tor version,
+      not the missing ntor key. Fixes bug 20270; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
+    - Prevent the shared randomness subsystem from asserting when
+      initialized by a bridge authority with an incomplete configuration
+      file. Fixes bug 21586; bugfix on 0.2.9.8.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (error reporting, windows):
+    - When formatting Windows error messages, use the English format to
+      avoid codepage issues. Fixes bug 22520; bugfix on 0.1.2.8-alpha.
+      Patch from "Vort".
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (exit-side DNS):
+    - Fix an untriggerable assertion that checked the output of a
+      libevent DNS error, so that the assertion actually behaves as
+      expected. Fixes bug 22244; bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc. Found by Andrey
+      Karpov using PVS-Studio.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (fallback directories):
+    - Make the usage example in updateFallbackDirs.py actually work, and
+      explain what it does. Fixes bug 22270; bugfix on 0.3.0.3-alpha.
+    - Decrease the guard flag average required to be a fallback. This
+      allows us to keep relays that have their guard flag removed when
+      they restart. Fixes bug 20913; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+    - Decrease the minimum number of fallbacks to 100. Fixes bug 20913;
+      bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+    - Make sure fallback directory mirrors have the same address, port,
+      and relay identity key for at least 30 days before they are
+      selected. Fixes bug 20913; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (file limits, osx):
+    - When setting the maximum number of connections allowed by the OS,
+      always allow some extra file descriptors for other files. Fixes
+      bug 22797; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (hidden services):
+    - Increase the number of circuits that a service is allowed to
+      open over a specific period of time. The value was lower than it
+      should be (8 vs 12) in the normal case of 3 introduction points.
+      Fixes bug 22159; bugfix on 0.3.0.5-rc.
+    - Fix a BUG warning during HSv3 descriptor decoding that could be
+      cause by a specially crafted descriptor. Fixes bug 23233; bugfix
+      on 0.3.0.1-alpha. Bug found by "haxxpop".
+    - Stop printing a cryptic warning when a hidden service gets a
+      request to connect to a virtual port that it hasn't configured.
+      Fixes bug 16706; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
+    - Simplify hidden service descriptor creation by using an existing
+      flag to check if an introduction point is established. Fixes bug
+      21599; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (link handshake):
+    - Lower the lifetime of the RSA->Ed25519 cross-certificate to six
+      months, and regenerate it when it is within one month of expiring.
+      Previously, we had generated this certificate at startup with a
+      ten-year lifetime, but that could lead to weird behavior when Tor
+      was started with a grossly inaccurate clock. Mitigates bug 22466;
+      mitigation on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox):
+    - Avoid a sandbox failure when trying to re-bind to a socket and
+      mark it as IPv6-only. Fixes bug 20247; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
+    - Permit the fchmod system call, to avoid crashing on startup when
+      starting with the seccomp2 sandbox and an unexpected set of
+      permissions on the data directory or its contents. Fixes bug
+      22516; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (logging):
+    - When decompressing, do not warn if we fail to decompress using a
+      compression method that we merely guessed. Fixes part of bug
+      22670; bugfix on 0.1.1.14-alpha.
+    - When decompressing, treat mismatch between content-encoding and
+      actual compression type as a protocol warning. Fixes part of bug
+      22670; bugfix on 0.1.1.9-alpha.
+    - Downgrade "assigned_to_cpuworker failed" message to info-level
+      severity. In every case that can reach it, either a better warning
+      has already been logged, or no warning is warranted. Fixes bug
+      22356; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
+    - Log a better message when a directory authority replies to an
+      upload with an unexpected status code. Fixes bug 11121; bugfix
+      on 0.1.0.1-rc.
+    - Downgrade a log statement about unexpected relay cells from "bug"
+      to "protocol warning", because there is at least one use case
+      where it can be triggered by a buggy tor implementation. Fixes bug
+      21293; bugfix on 0.1.1.14-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (logging, relay):
+    - Remove a forgotten debugging message when an introduction point
+      successfully establishes a hidden service prop224 circuit with
+      a client.
+    - Change three other log_warn() for an introduction point to
+      protocol warnings, because they can be failure from the network
+      and are not relevant to the operator. Fixes bug 23078; bugfix on
+      0.3.0.1-alpha and 0.3.0.2-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (relay):
+    - Inform the geoip and rephist modules about all requests, even on
+      relays that are only fetching microdescriptors. Fixes a bug
+      related to 21585; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (memory leaks):
+    - Fix a small memory leak at exit from the backtrace handler code.
+      Fixes bug 21788; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha. Patch from Daniel Pinto.
+    - When directory authorities reject a router descriptor due to
+      keypinning, free the router descriptor rather than leaking the
+      memory. Fixes bug 22370; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
+    - Fix a small memory leak when validating a configuration that uses
+      two or more AF_UNIX sockets for the same port type. Fixes bug
+      23053; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha. This is CID 1415725.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (process behavior):
+    - When exiting because of an error, always exit with a nonzero exit
+      status. Previously, we would fail to report an error in our exit
+      status in cases related to __OwningControllerProcess failure,
+      lockfile contention, and Ed25519 key initialization. Fixes bug
+      22720; bugfix on versions 0.2.1.6-alpha, 0.2.2.28-beta, and
+      0.2.7.2-alpha respectively. Reported by "f55jwk4f"; patch
+      from "huyvq".
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (robustness, error handling):
+    - Improve our handling of the cases where OpenSSL encounters a
+      memory error while encoding keys and certificates. We haven't
+      observed these errors in the wild, but if they do happen, we now
+      detect and respond better. Fixes bug 19418; bugfix on all versions
+      of Tor. Reported by Guido Vranken.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (testing):
+    - Fix an undersized buffer in test-memwipe.c. Fixes bug 23291;
+      bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. Found and patched by Ties Stuij.
+    - Use unbuffered I/O for utility functions around the
+      process_handle_t type. This fixes unit test failures reported on
+      OpenBSD and FreeBSD. Fixes bug 21654; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
+    - Make display of captured unit test log messages consistent. Fixes
+      bug 21510; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
+    - Make test-network.sh always call chutney's test-network.sh.
+      Previously, this only worked on systems which had bash installed,
+      due to some bash-specific code in the script. Fixes bug 19699;
+      bugfix on 0.3.0.4-rc. Follow-up to ticket 21581.
+    - Fix a memory leak in the link-handshake/certs_ok_ed25519 test.
+      Fixes bug 22803; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+    - The unit tests now pass on systems where localhost is misconfigured
+      to some IPv4 address other than 127.0.0.1. Fixes bug 6298; bugfix
+      on 0.0.9pre2.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (voting consistency):
+    - Reject version numbers with non-numeric prefixes (such as +, -, or
+      whitespace). Disallowing whitespace prevents differential version
+      parsing between POSIX-based and Windows platforms. Fixes bug 21507
+      and part of 21508; bugfix on 0.0.8pre1.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (Windows service):
+    - When running as a Windows service, set the ID of the main thread
+      correctly. Failure to do so made us fail to send log messages to
+      the controller in 0.2.1.16-rc, slowed down controller event
+      delivery in 0.2.7.3-rc and later, and crash with an assertion
+      failure in 0.3.1.1-alpha. Fixes bug 23081; bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha.
+      Patch and diagnosis from "Vort".
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (windows, relay):
+    - Resolve "Failure from drain_fd: No error" warnings on Windows
+      relays. Fixes bug 21540; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
+
+  o Code simplification and refactoring:
+    - Break up the 630-line function connection_dir_client_reached_eof()
+      into a dozen smaller functions. This change should help
+      maintainability and readability of the client directory code.
+    - Isolate our use of the openssl headers so that they are only
+      included from our crypto wrapper modules, and from tests that
+      examine those modules' internals. Closes ticket 21841.
+    - Simplify our API to launch directory requests, making it more
+      extensible and less error-prone. Now it's easier to add extra
+      headers to directory requests. Closes ticket 21646.
+    - Our base64 decoding functions no longer overestimate the output
+      space that they need when parsing unpadded inputs. Closes
+      ticket 17868.
+    - Remove unused "ROUTER_ADDED_NOTIFY_GENERATOR" internal value.
+      Resolves ticket 22213.
+    - The logic that directory caches use to spool request to clients,
+      serving them one part at a time so as not to allocate too much
+      memory, has been refactored for consistency. Previously there was
+      a separate spooling implementation per type of spoolable data. Now
+      there is one common spooling implementation, with extensible data
+      types. Closes ticket 21651.
+    - Tor's compression module now supports multiple backends. Part of
+      the implementation for proposal 278; closes ticket 21663.
+
+  o Documentation:
+    - Add a manpage description for the key-pinning-journal file. Closes
+      ticket 22347.
+    - Correctly note that bandwidth accounting values are stored in the
+      state file, and the bw_accounting file is now obsolete. Closes
+      ticket 16082.
+    - Document more of the files in the Tor data directory, including
+      cached-extrainfo, secret_onion_key{,_ntor}.old, hidserv-stats,
+      approved-routers, sr-random, and diff-cache. Found while fixing
+      ticket 22347.
+    - Clarify the manpage for the (deprecated) torify script. Closes
+      ticket 6892.
+    - Clarify the behavior of the KeepAliveIsolateSOCKSAuth sub-option.
+      Closes ticket 21873.
+    - Correct documentation about the default DataDirectory value.
+      Closes ticket 21151.
+    - Document the default behavior of NumEntryGuards and
+      NumDirectoryGuards correctly. Fixes bug 21715; bugfix
+      on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+    - Document key=value pluggable transport arguments for Bridge lines
+      in torrc. Fixes bug 20341; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
+    - Note that bandwidth-limiting options don't affect TCP headers or
+      DNS. Closes ticket 17170.
+
+  o Removed features (configuration options, all in ticket 22060):
+    - These configuration options are now marked Obsolete, and no longer
+      have any effect: AllowInvalidNodes, AllowSingleHopCircuits,
+      AllowSingleHopExits, ExcludeSingleHopRelays, FastFirstHopPK,
+      TLSECGroup, WarnUnsafeSocks. They were first marked as deprecated
+      in 0.2.9.2-alpha and have now been removed. The previous default
+      behavior is now always chosen; the previous (less secure) non-
+      default behavior is now unavailable.
+    - CloseHSClientCircuitsImmediatelyOnTimeout and
+      CloseHSServiceRendCircuitsImmediatelyOnTimeout were deprecated in
+      0.2.9.2-alpha and now have been removed. HS circuits never close
+      on circuit build timeout; they have a longer timeout period.
+    - {Control,DNS,Dir,Socks,Trans,NATD,OR}ListenAddress were deprecated
+      in 0.2.9.2-alpha and now have been removed. Use the ORPort option
+      (and others) to configure listen-only and advertise-only addresses.
+
+  o Removed features (tools):
+    - We've removed the tor-checkkey tool from src/tools. Long ago, we
+      used it to help people detect RSA keys that were generated by
+      versions of Debian affected by CVE-2008-0166. But those keys have
+      been out of circulation for ages, and this tool is no longer
+      required. Closes ticket 21842.
