Greetings,

https://forum.torproject.org/t/stable-release-0-4-8-5/8996

Here is the ChangeLog:

Changes in version 0.4.8.5 - 2023-08-30
  Quick second release after the first stable few days ago fixing minor
  annoying bugfixes creating log BUG stacktrace. We also fix BSD compilation
  failures and PoW unit test.

  o Minor features (fallbackdir):
    - Regenerate fallback directories generated on August 30, 2023.

  o Minor features (geoip data):
    - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as
      retrieved on 2023/08/30.

  o Minor bugfix (NetBSD, compilation):
    - Fix compilation issue on NetBSD by avoiding an unnecessary
      dependency on "huge" page mappings in Equi-X. Fixes bug 40843;
      bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha.

  o Minor bugfix (NetBSD, testing):
    - Fix test failures in "crypto/hashx" and "slow/crypto/equix" on
      x86_64 and aarch64 NetBSD hosts, by adding support for
      PROT_MPROTECT() flags. Fixes bug 40844; bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha.

  o Minor bugfixes (conflux):
    - Demote a relay-side warn about too many legs to ProtocolWarn, as
      there are conditions that it can briefly happen during set
      construction. Also add additional set logging details for all
      error cases. Fixes bug 40841; bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha.
    - Prevent non-fatal assert stacktrace caused by using conflux sets
      during their teardown process. Fixes bug 40842; bugfix
      on 0.4.8.1-alpha.

Cheers!
David
