-  o Minor features:
-    - Directory servers now reject versions of Tor older than 0.2.1.30,

+  o Minor features (controller):
     - Use absolute path names when reporting the torrc filename in the
       control protocol, so a controller can more easily find the torrc
       file. Resolves bug 1101.
-    - If EntryNodes are given, but UseEntryGuards is set to 0, warn that

+
+  o Minor features (other):
