+Changes in version 0.2.2.9-alpha - 2010-02-22
+  o Directory authority changes:
+    - Change IP address for dannenberg (v3 directory authority), and
+      remove moria2 (obsolete v1, v2 directory authority and v0 hidden
+      service directory authority) from the list.
+
   o Major bugfixes:
+    - Make Tor work again on the latest OS X: when deciding whether to
+      use strange flags to turn TLS renegotiation on, detect the OpenSSL
+      version at run-time, not compile time. We need to do this because
+      Apple doesn't update its dev-tools headers when it updates its
+      libraries in a security patch.
+    - Fix a potential buffer overflow in lookup_last_hid_serv_request()
+      that could happen on 32-bit platforms with 64-bit time_t. Also fix
+      a memory leak when requesting a hidden service descriptor we've
+      requested before. Fixes bug 1242, bugfix on 0.2.0.18-alpha. Found
+      by aakova.
     - Authorities could be tricked into giving out the Exit flag to relays
-      that didn't allow exiting to any ports. This could screw with load
-      balancing and stats. Bugfix on 0.1.1.6-alpha, fixes bug 1238. Bug
-      discovered by Martin Kowalczyk.

   o Minor bugfixes:
-    - When deciding whether to use strange flags to turn TLS renegotiation
-      on, detect the OpenSSL version at run-time, not compile time.  We
-      need to do this because Apple doesn't update its dev-tools headers
-      when it updates its libraries in a security patch.
     - Fix static compilation by listing the openssl libraries in the right
-      order.  Fixes bug 1237.
-    - Actually reject .exit hostnames when we're supposed to be rejecting
-      them; do not pass them on to the exit server.  Bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha;
-      found and diagnosed by Scott Bennett and Downie on or-talk.
-    - Don't spam the controller with log messages when we have no file
-      descriptors available. Rate-limiting for log messages was already
-      implemented in the past.
-    - Avoid a bogus overlapped memcpy in tor_addr_copy().  Found by
+      order. Bugfix on Tor 0.2.2.8-alpha; fixes bug 1237.
+    - Resume handling .exit hostnames in a special way: originally we
+      stripped the .exit part and used the requested exit relay. In
+      0.2.2.1-alpha we stopped treating them in any special way, meaning
+      if you use a .exit address then Tor will pass it on to the exit
+      relay. Now we reject the .exit stream outright, since that behavior
+      might be more expected by the user. Found and diagnosed by Scott
+      Bennett and Downie on or-talk.
+    - Don't spam the controller with events when we have no file
+      descriptors available. Bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha. (Rate-limiting
+      for log messages was already solved from bug 748.)
+    - Avoid a bogus overlapped memcpy in tor_addr_copy(). Reported by
       "memcpyfail".
     - Make the DNSPort option work with libevent 2.x. Don't alter the
       behaviour for libevent 1.x. Fixes bug 1143. Found by SwissTorExit.
-    - Emit an GUARD DROPPED event for a case we missed.
-    - Make more fields in the controller protocol case-insensitive as
-      documented in control-spec.txt.
+    - Emit a GUARD DROPPED controller event for a case we missed.
+    - Make more fields in the controller protocol case-insensitive, since
+      control-spec.txt said they were.
+    - Refactor resolve_my_address() to not use gethostbyname() anymore.
+      Fixes bug 1244; bugfix on 0.0.2pre25. Reported by Mike Mestnik.
 
   o Code simplifications and refactoring:
-    - Generate our manpage and HTML documentation using Asciidoc.  This
-      should make it easier to maintain the documentation, and produce
-      nicer HTML.
-    - Remove the --enable-iphone option.  According to reports from
-      Marco Bonetti, Tor builds fine without any special tweaking on
-      recent iPhone SDK versions.

   o Minor features:
     - The 'EXTENDCIRCUIT' control port command can now be used with
-      a circ id of 0 and no path. This will cause Tor to build a new

+    - Added a BUILDTIMEOUT_SET controller event to describe changes
       to the circuit build timeout.
     - Future-proof the controller protocol a bit by ignoring keyword
       arguments we do not recognize.
 
-  o Removed features:
-    - Stop shipping parts of the website and the design paper in the
-      source tarballs.
