+  o Major features (build):
+    - Switch to a nonrecursive Makefile structure. Now instead of each
+      Makefile.am invoking other Makefile.ams, there is a master
+      Makefile.am that includes the others. This makes our build process
+      slightly more maintainable, and improves parallelism for building
+      with make -j. Original patch by Stewart Smith; various fixes by
+      Jim Meyering.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (documentation):
+    - We no longer warn so much when generating manpages from their
+      asciidoc source.
+
+  o New requirements:
+    - Tor maintainers now require Automake version 1.9 or later to build
+      Tor from the Git repository. (Automake is not required when building
+      from a source distribution.)
