+  o Major features:
+    - Directory mirrors now store and serve v2 hidden service descriptors
+      by default (i.e. new default value for HidServDirectoryV2 is 1).
+      This is the last step in proposal 114, which aims to make hidden
+      service connections more reliable.

   o Minor bugfixes:
     - Fix compile on OpenBSD 4.4-current. Bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
       Reported by Tas.
-    - Fixed some memory leaks --some quite frequent, some almost impossible
-      to trigger-- based on results from Coverity.

       for bug 811.
     - Catch and report a few more bootstrapping failure cases when Tor
       fails to establish a TCP connection. Cleanup on 0.2.1.x.
