o Major bugfixes (relay, DNS):
- Lower the DNS timeout from 3 attempts at 5 seconds each to 2 attempts at
1 seconds each. Two new consensus parameters were added to control these

o Minor bugfixes (relay, overload):
- - Use a fraction and assessment period of ntor handshake drops for the
- overload general signal. Before that, a single drop could trigger an
- overload state which was far from useful. Fixes bug 40560; bugfix on
- 0.4.7.1-alpha.

o Minor bugfixes (onion service congestion control):
- - Avoid a non fatal assert in case we can't setup congestion control on the
