 Changes in version 0.4.5.13 - 2022-08-11
+  This version contains two major fixes aimed at reducing memory pressure on
+  relays and possible side-channel. The rest of the fixes were backported for
+  stability or safety purposes. We strongly recommend to upgrade your relay to
+  this version or, ideally, to the latest stable of the 0.4.7.x series.

   o Major bugfixes (relay):
-    - Remove OR connections btrack subsystem entries when the
-      connections closes normally. Before this, we would only close it
-      on error and thus leaking memory for each normal OR connections.
-      Fixes bug 40604; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
-    - Stop sending TRUNCATED cell and instead close the circuits which
-      sends a DESTROY cell so every relay in the circuit path can stop
-      queuing cells. Fixes bug 40623; bugfix on 0.1.0.2-rc.
