 Changes in version 0.2.6.1-alpha - 2014-??-??
+  Tor 0.2.6.1-alpha is the first release in the Tor 0.2.6.x series. It
+  includes numerous code cleanups and new tests, and fixes a large
+  number of annoying bugs. Out-of-memory conditions are handled better
+  than in 0.2.5, pluggable transports have improved proxy support, and
+  clients how use optimistic data for contacting hidden services. Also,
+  we are now more robust to changes in what we consider a parseable
+  directory object, so that tightening restrictions does not have a risk
+  of introducing infinite download loops.
