+Changes in version 0.2.3.24-rc - 2012-10-25

+  a major bug that was preventing clients from choosing good exit
+  nodes.

+  o Major bugfixes (security):
+    - Fix a group of remotely triggerable assertion failures related to

       authority could crash everybody downloading v2 directory
       information. Fixes bug 7191; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
