Hi
That's a hefty changelog for the new stable release of Tor. I'm in awe of and grateful to the developers, as it's all well beyond me.
Please could anybody confirm, is there any action required for somebody running the relay on a pretty bog-standard Ubuntu 12.04 Linux dedi, other than sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ?
Thank you!

There is a new OfflineMasterKey feature you can read about here:
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2015-November/008190.html
If you want to enable OfflineMasterKey read before upgrading. Otherwise I'd say go for it. Don't forget:
sudo service tor restart
You might see a prompt about a new torrc from the package update. I chose to keep my existing version. There was no noticeable change once the service was back up.
Much appreciated, thank you.
The apt-get dist-upgrade actually stopped and restarted the tor process itself.
Thank you

Most relay operators won't want to replace their existing torrc, unless they want to start configuring their relay from scratch again. The changes in the default torrc are aimed at new operators.
