 Changes in version 0.3.3.1-alpha - 2018-01-??:
   Blurb goes here
 
-  o Code simplification and refactoring  (channels):
-    - Remove the incoming and outgoing channel queues. The reason to do
-      so was due to the fact that they were always empty meaning never
-      used but still looked at in our fast path. Bottom line, it was an
-      unused code path.
-    - The majority ot the channel unit tests have been rewritten and the
-      code coverage has now been raised to 83.6% for channel.c. Closes
-      ticket 23709.
-    - We've simplify a lot the channel subsystem by removing those
-      queues but also by removing a lot of unused code or dead code
-      around it. Overall this is a cleanup removing more than 1500 lines
-      of code overall and adding very little except for unit test.
+  o Major features (onion services, security):
+    - Provide torrc options to pin the second and third hops of onion
+      service circuits to a list of nodes. The option HSLayer2Guards
+      pins the second hop, and the option HSLayer3Guards pins the third
+      hop. Closes ticket 13837.

-  o Minor features (relay):
-    - Implement an option, ReducedExitPolicy, to allow an Tor exit relay
-      operator to use a more reasonable ("reduced") exit policy, rather than
-      the default one.  If you want to run an exit node without thinking too
-      hard about which ports to allow, this one is for you. Closes ticket
-      13605. Patch from Neel Chauhan.

   o Major features (rust, portability, experimental):
     - Tor now ships with an optional implementation of one of its
       smaller modules (protover.c) in the Rust programming language. To

-  o Minor features (embedding):
-    - Tor can now start with a preauthenticated control connection
-      created by the process that launched it. This feature is meant for
-      use by programs that want to launch and manage a Tor process
-      without allowing other programs to manage it as well. For more
-      information, see the __OwningControllerFD option documented in
-      control-spec.txt. Closes ticket 23900.
-    - On most errors that would cause Tor to exit, it now tries to
-      return from the tor_main() function, rather than calling the
-      system exit() function. Most users won't notice a difference here,
-      but it should make a significant difference on platforms that try
-      to run Tor inside a separate thread: they should now be able to
-      survive Tor's exit conditions rather than having Tor shut down the
-      entire process. Closes ticket 23848.
-    - Applications that want to embed Tor can now tell Tor not to
-      register any of its own POSIX signal handlers, using the
-      __DisableSignalHandlers option. This option is not meant for
-      general use. Closes ticket 24588.

   o Minor features (cleanup):

       when it stops. Closes ticket 23271.
