for an improved network IO backend, IOCP networking on Windows,
microdescriptor caching, "fast-start" support for streams, and automatic

o Major features
- Tor can now optionally build with the "bufferevents" buffered IO
backend provided by Libevent 2. To use this feature, make sure you
have the latest possible version of Libevent, and pass the
- --enable-bufferevents flag to configure when building Tor from source.
- Using this feature will make our networking code more flexible, let us
