-Changes in version 0.2.2.34 - 2011-10-??
-  o Security fixes:
+Changes in version 0.2.2.34 - 2011-10-26
+  o Privacy/anonymity fixes:
+    - Clients and bridges no longer send TLS certificate chains on
+      outgoing OR connections. Previously, each client or bridge
+      would use the same cert chain for all outgoing OR connections
+      for up to 24 hours, which allowed any relay that the client or
+      bridge contacted to determine which entry guards it is using.
+      Fixes CVE-2011-2768. Bugfix on 0.0.9pre5; found by "frosty_un".
+    - If a relay receives a CREATE_FAST cell on a TLS connection, it
+      no longer considers that connection as suitable for satisfying a
+      circuit EXTEND request. Now relays can protect clients from the
+      CVE-2011-2768 issue even if the clients haven't upgraded yet.
+    - Directory authorities no longer assign the Guard flag to relays
+      that haven't upgraded to the above "refuse EXTEND requests
+      to client connections" fix. Now directory authorities can
+      protect clients from the CVE-2011-2768 issue even if neither
+      the clients nor the relays have upgraded yet. There's a new
+      "GiveGuardFlagTo_CVE_2011_2768_VulnerableRelays" config option
+      to let us transition smoothly, else tomorrow there would be no
+      guard relays.
     - Bridge relays now do their directory fetches inside Tor TLS
       connections, like all the other clients do, rather than connecting
       directly to the DirPort like public relays do. Removes another

+    - Bridges now refuse CREATE or CREATE_FAST cells on OR connections
+      that they initiated. Relays could distinguish incoming bridge

-  o Security fixes:
-
-    - Don't send TLS certificate chains on outgoing OR connections
-      from clients and bridges.  Previously, each client or bridge
-      would use a single cert chain for all outgoing OR connections
-      for up to 24 hours, which allowed any relay connected to by a
-      client or bridge to determine which entry guards it is using.
-      This is a potential user-tracing bug for *all* users; everyone
-      who uses Tor's client or hidden service functionality should
-      upgrade.  Fixes CVE-2011-2768.  Bugfix on FIXME; found by
-      frosty_un.
-
-    - Don't use any OR connection on which we have received a
-      CREATE_FAST cell to satisfy an EXTEND request.  Previously, we
-      would not consider whether a connection appears to be from a
-      client or bridge when deciding whether to use that connection to
-      satisfy an EXTEND request.  Mitigates CVE-2011-2768, by
-      preventing an attacker from determining whether an unpatched
-      client is connected to a patched relay.  Bugfix on FIXME; found

-    - Don't assign the Guard flag to relays running a version of Tor

-      CVE-2011-2768, by ensuring that clients will not connect
