+  o Major bugfixes (DNS):
+    - Fix a bug that prevented exit nodes from caching DNS records for more
+      than 60 seconds.
+      Fixes bug 19025; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.

+  o Major features (security):
+    - Change the algorithm used to decide DNS TTLs on client and server side,
+      to better resist DNS-based correlation attacks like the DefecTor attack
+      of Greschbach, Pulls, Roberts, Winter, and Feamster).  Now
+      relays only return one of two possible DNS TTL values, and clients
+      are willing to believe DNS TTL values up to 3 hours long.
+      Closes ticket 19769.
