 Changes in version 0.2.2.25-alpha - 2011-04-28
+  Tor 0.2.2.25-alpha fixes many bugs: hidden service clients are more
+  robust, routers no longer overreport their bandwidth, Win7 should crash
+  a little less, and NEWNYM (as used by Vidalia's "new identity" button)
+  now prevents hidden service-related activity from being linkable. It
+  provides more information to Vidalia so you can see if your bridge is
+  working. Also, 0.2.2.25-alpha revamps the Entry/Exit/ExcludeNodes and
+  StrictNodes configuration options to make them more reliable, more
+  understandable, and more regularly applied. If you use those options,
+  please see the revised documentation for them in the manual page.

   o Major bugfixes:
     - Relays were publishing grossly inflated bandwidth values because
       they were writing their state files wrong--now they write the
-      correct value.  Also, resume reading bandwidth history from the
-      state file correctly.  Fixes bug 2704; bugfix on 0.2.2.23-alpha.
