+Changes in version 0.2.0.35 - 2009-06-24
+  o Security fix:
+    - Avoid crashing in the presence of certain malformed descriptors.
+      Found by lark, and by automated fuzzing.
+    - Fix an edge case where a malicious exit relay could convince a
+      controller that the client's DNS question resolves to an internal IP
+      address. Bug found and fixed by "optimist"; bugfix on 0.1.2.8-beta.
+
+  o Major bugfixes:
+    - Finally fix the bug where dynamic-IP relays disappear when their
+      IP address changes: directory mirrors were mistakenly telling
+      them their old address if they asked via begin_dir, so they
+      never got an accurate answer about their new address, so they
+      just vanished after a day. For belt-and-suspenders, relays that
+      don't set Address in their config now avoid using begin_dir for
+      all direct connections. Should fix bugs 827, 883, and 900.
+    - Fix a timing-dependent, allocator-dependent, DNS-related crash bug
+      that would occur on some exit nodes when DNS failures and timeouts
+      occurred in certain patterns. Fix for bug 957.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes:
+    - When starting with a cache over a few days old, do not leak
+      memory for the obsolete router descriptors in it. Bugfix on
+      0.2.0.33; fixes bug 672.
+    - Hidden service clients didn't use a cached service descriptor that
+      was older than 15 minutes, but wouldn't fetch a new one either,
+      because there was already one in the cache. Now, fetch a v2
+      descriptor unless the same descriptor was added to the cache within
+      the last 15 minutes. Fixes bug 997; reported by Marcus Griep.
