 Changes in version 0.3.4.1-alpha - 2018-05-1?
-  XXX BLURB
+  Tor 0.3.4.1-alpha is the first release in the 0.3.4.x series.  It
+  includes refactoring to begin reducing Tor's
+  binary size and idle CPU usage on mobile, along with prep work for new
+  bandwidth scanners, improvements
+  to the experimental "vanguards" feature, and numerous other small
+  features and bugfixes.

       number of times that the Tor process needs to wake up when it is
       idle. Closes ticket 25373.
+    - Move responsibility for many operations from a once-per-second
+      callback to a callback that is only scheduled as needed. Moving
+      this functionality has allowed us to disable the callback when
+      Tor's network is disabled. Once enough items are removed from our
+      once-per-second callback, we can eliminate it entirely to conserve
+      CPU when idle. The functionality removed includes: closing
+      connections, circuits, and channels (ticket 25932); consensus
+      voting (25937); flushing log callbacks (25951); honoring delayed
