+Changes in version 0.1.2.18 - 2007-10-28
+  Tor 0.1.2.18 fixes many problems including crash bugs, problems with
+  hidden service introduction that were causing huge delays, and a big
+  bug that was causing some servers to disappear from the network status
+  lists for a few hours each day.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (crashes):
+    - If a connection is shut down abruptly because of something that
+      happened inside connection_flushed_some(), do not call
+      connection_finished_flushing(). Should fix bug 451:
+      "connection_stop_writing: Assertion conn->write_event failed"
+      Bugfix on 0.1.2.7-alpha.
+    - Fix possible segfaults in functions called from
+      rend_process_relay_cell().
+
+  o Major bugfixes (hidden services):
+    - Hidden services were choosing introduction points uniquely by
+      hexdigest, but when constructing the hidden service descriptor
+      they merely wrote the (potentially ambiguous) nickname.
+    - Clients now use the v2 intro format for hidden service
+      connections: they specify their chosen rendezvous point by identity
+      digest rather than by (potentially ambiguous) nickname. These
+      changes could speed up hidden service connections dramatically.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (other):
+    - Stop publishing a new server descriptor just because we get a
+      HUP signal. This led (in a roundabout way) to some servers getting
+      dropped from the networkstatus lists for a few hours each day.
+    - When looking for a circuit to cannibalize, consider family as well
+      as identity. Fixes bug 438. Bugfix on 0.1.0.x (which introduced
+      circuit cannibalization).
+    - When a router wasn't listed in a new networkstatus, we were leaving
+      the flags for that router alone -- meaning it remained Named,
+      Running, etc -- even though absence from the networkstatus means
+      that it shouldn't be considered to exist at all anymore. Now we
+      clear all the flags for routers that fall out of the networkstatus
+      consensus. Fixes bug 529.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes:
+    - Don't try to access (or alter) the state file when running
+      --list-fingerprint or --verify-config or --hash-password. Resolves
+      bug 499.
+    - When generating information telling us how to extend to a given
+      router, do not try to include the nickname if it is
+      absent. Resolves bug 467.
+    - Fix a user-triggerable segfault in expand_filename(). (There isn't
+      a way to trigger this remotely.)
+    - When sending a status event to the controller telling it that an
+      OR address is readable, set the port correctly. (Previously we
+      were reporting the dir port.)
+    - Fix a minor memory leak whenever a controller sends the PROTOCOLINFO
+      command. Bugfix on 0.1.2.17.
+    - When loading bandwidth history, do not believe any information in
+      the future. Fixes bug 434.
+    - When loading entry guard information, do not believe any information
+      in the future.
+    - When we have our clock set far in the future and generate an
+      onion key, then re-set our clock to be correct, we should not stop
+      the onion key from getting rotated.
+    - On some platforms, accept() can return a broken address. Detect
+      this more quietly, and deal accordingly. Fixes bug 483.
+    - It's not actually an error to find a non-pending entry in the DNS
+      cache when canceling a pending resolve. Don't log unless stuff
+      is fishy. Resolves bug 463.
+    - Don't reset trusted dir server list when we set a configuration
+      option. Patch from Robert Hogan.
