+ Tor 0.2.3.11-alpha marks feature-freeze for the 0.2.3 tree. It deploys
+ the last step of the plan to limit maximum circuit length, includes
+ a wide variety of hidden service performance and correctness fixes,
+ works around an OpenSSL security flaw if your distro is too stubborn
+ to upgrade. and fixes a bunch of smaller issues.
