+Changes in version 0.2.8.5-rc - 2016-07-0?
+ Tor 0.2.8.5-rc is the second release candidate in the Tor 0.2.8 series.
+ If we find no new bugs or regressions here, the first stable 0.2.8
+ release will be identical to it. It has a few small bugfixes against
+ previous versions.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (heartbeat):
+ - Fix regression that crashes Tor when disabling heartbeats. Fixes bug
+ 19454; bugfix on tor-0.2.8.1-alpha. Reported by "kubaku".
+
+ o Minor features (build):
+ - Tor now again builds with the recent OpenSSL 1.1 development branch
+ (tested against 1.1.0-pre6-dev). Closes ticket 19499.
+
+ o Fallback directory list:
+ - Add a comment to the generated list that explains how to comment-out
+ unsuitable fallbacks in a way that's compatible with the stem fallback
+ parser.
+ - Update fallback whitelist and blacklist based on relay operator
+ emails. Blacklist unsuitable fallbacks. Resolves ticket 19071.
+ Patch by teor.
+ - Update hard-coded fallback list to remove unsuitable fallbacks.
+ Resolves ticket 19071. Patch by teor.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (build):
+ - When building manual pages, set the timezone to "UTC", so that the
+ output is reproducible. Fixes bug 19558; bugfix on 0.2.2.9-alpha.
+ Patch from intrigeri.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (fallback directory selection):
+ - Avoid errors during fallback selection if there are no eligible
+ fallbacks. Fixes bug 19480; bugfix on ba76910 and 78ec782 in
+ 0.2.8.3-alpha. Patch by teor.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (logging):
+ - Reduce excessive logging when directories can't be found.
+ Fixes bug 18849; bugfix on 0.2.8.3-alpha and 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+ Patch by teor.
+ - When a fallback changes its fingerprint from the hard-coded
+ fingerprint, log a less severe, more explanatory log message.
+ Fixes bug 18812; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. Patch by teor.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (sandboxing):
+ - When sandboxing is enabled, we could not write any stats to
+ disk. check_or_create_data_subdir("stats"), which prepares the
+ private stats directory, calls check_private_dir(), which also
+ opens and not just stats() the directory. Therefore, we need to
+ also allow open() for the stats dir in our sandboxing setup.
+ Fixes bug 19556; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
+ - Our sandboxing code would not allow us to write to stats/hidserv-stats,
+ causing tor to abort while trying to write stats. This was previously
+ masked by bug 19556. Fixes bug 19557; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha.
+
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (user interface):
+ - Remove a warning message "Service [scrubbed] not found after
+ descriptor upload". This message appears when one uses HSPOST control
+ command to upload a service descriptor. Since there is only a descriptor
+ and no service, showing this message is pointless and confusing.
+ Fixes bug 19464; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
