 Changes in version 0.2.3.2-alpha - 2011-07-18
+  Tor 0.2.3.2-alpha introduces two new experimental features:
+  microdescriptors and pluggable transports. It also continues cleaning
+  up a variety of recently introduced features.
+
   o Major features:
     - Clients can now use microdescriptors instead of regular descriptors
-      to build circuits. Microdescriptors are authority-generated and
-      authority-authenticated summaries of regular descriptors' contents,
-      designed to change very rarely (see proposal 158 for details). This
-      feature is designed to save bandwidth, especially for clients on
-      slow internet connections. It's off by default for now, since
-      nearly no caches support it, but it will be on-by-default for
-      clients in a future version. You can use the UseMicrodescriptors
-      option to turn it on.

     - Tor clients using bridges can now be configured to use a separate
       'transport' proxy for each bridge. This approach helps to resist
       censorship by allowing bridges to use protocol obfuscation

-    - Fix a bug where comparing an unknown address to a microdescriptor's
-      shortened exit policy would always seem to give a "rejected" result.

-    - Using microdescriptors no longer prevents Tor from uploading and
