+Changes in version 0.2.2.1-alpha - 2009-??-??
+ o Security fixes:
+ - Fix an edge case where a malicious exit relay could convince a
+ controller that the client's DNS question resolves to an internal IP
+ address. Bug found and fixed by "optimist"; bugfix on 0.1.2.8-beta.
+
+ o Major features:
+ - Add support for dynamic OpenSSL hardware crypto acceleration engines
+ via new AccelName and AccelDir options.
+
+ o Minor features:
+ - New --digests command-line switch to output the digests of the
+ source files Tor was built with.
+ - The "torify" script now uses torsocks where available.
+ - The memarea code now uses a sentinel value at the end of each area
+ to make sure nothing writes beyond the end of an area. This might
+ help debug some conceivable causes of bug 930.
+ - Directories that are configured with the --enable-dirreq-stats flag
+ and have "DirReqStatistics 1" set write directory request stats to
+ disk every 24 hours. As compared to the --enable-geoip-stats flag
+ in 0.2.1.x, there are a few improvements: 1) stats are written to
+ disk exactly every 24 hours; 2) estimated shares of v2 and v3
+ requests are determined as mean values, not at the end of a
+ measurement period; 3) unresolved requests are listed with country
+ code '??'; 4) directories also measure download times.
+ - Exit nodes can write statistics on the number of exit streams and
+ transferred bytes per port to disk every 24 hours. To enable this,
+ run configure with the --enable-exit-stats option, and set
+ "ExitPortStatistics 1" in your torrc.
+ - Relays write statistics on how long cells spend in their circuit
+ queues to disk every 24 hours. To enable this, run configure with
+ the --enable-buffer-stats option, and set "CellStatistics 1" in your
+ torrc.
+ - Entry nodes can write statistics on the rough number and origins of
+ connecting clients to disk every 24 hours. To enable this, run
+ configure with the --enable-entry-stats option, and set
+ "EntryStatistics 1" in your torrc.
+ - Time and memory units in the configuration file can now be set to
+ fractional units. For example, "2.5 MB" is now a valid value for
+ AccountingMax.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes
+ - Hidden service clients didn't use a cached service descriptor that
+ was older than 15 minutes, but wouldn't fetch a new one either. Now,
+ use a cached descriptor no matter how old it is and only fetch a new
+ one when all introduction points fail. Fix for bug 997. Patch from
+ Marcus Griep.
+ - Fix refetching of hidden service descriptors when all introduction
+ points have turned out to not work. Fixes more of bug 997.
+
+ o Deprecated and removed features:
+ - The controller no longer accepts the old obsolete "addr-mappings/"
+ GETINFO value.
+ - Hidden services no longer publish version 0 descriptors, and clients
+ do not request or use version 0 descriptors. However, the authorities
+ still accept and serve version 0 descriptors when contacted by older
+ hidden services/clients.
+ - The EXTENDED_EVENTS and VERBOSE_NAMES controller features are now
+ always on; using them is necessary for correct forward-compatible
+ controllers.
+
+
+ Changes in version 0.2.1.18 - 2009-07-24
+ o Build fixes:
+ - Add LIBS=-lrt to Makefile.am so the Tor RPMs use a static libevent.
+
+
Changes in version 0.2.1.17-rc - 2009-07-07
+ Tor 0.2.1.17-rc marks the fourth -- and hopefully last -- release
+ candidate for the 0.2.1.x series. It lays the groundwork for further
+ client performance improvements, and also fixes a big bug with directory
+ authorities that were causing them to assign Guard and Stable flags
+ poorly.
+
+ The Windows bundles also finally include the geoip database that we
+ thought we'd been shipping since 0.2.0.x (oops), and the OS X bundles
+ should actually install Torbutton rather than giving you a cryptic
+ failure message (oops).
+
o Major features:
- Clients now use the bandwidth values in the consensus, rather than
the bandwidth values in each relay descriptor. This approach opens
