+  o Major bugfixes (security):
+    - Do not crash when comparing an address with port value 0 to an
+      address policy. This bug could have been used to cause a remote
+      assertion failure by or against directory authorities, or to
+      allow some applications to crash clients. Fixes bug 6690; bugfix
+      on 0.2.1.10-alpha.
