 Changes in version 0.2.4.5-alpha - 2012-10-2?
-  o Major bugfixes (also in 0.2.3.24-rc):
+  Tor 0.2.3.24-rc comes hard at the heels of 0.2.4.4-alpha, to fix two
+  important security vulnerabilities that could lead to remotely
+  triggerable relay crashes, fixes a major bug that was preventing
+  clients from choosing good exit nodes, and refactor some of our code.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (security, also in 0.2.3.24-rc):
+    - Fix a group of remotely triggerable assertion failures related to
+      incorrect link protocol negotiation. Found, diagnosed, and fixed
+      by "some guy from France." Fix for CVE-2012-2250; bugfix on
+      0.2.3.6-alpha.
     - Fix a denial of service attack by which any directory authority
       could crash all the others, or by which a single v2 directory
       authority could crash everybody downloading v2 directory
       information. Fixes bug 7191; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.

+  o Major bugfixes (also in 0.2.3.24-rc):
     - When parsing exit policy summaries from microdescriptors, we had
       previously been ignoring the last character in each one, so that
       "accept 80,443,8080" would be treated by clients as indicating

       an exit relay would allow exiting to an internal address. Fixes
       bug 7190; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
 
-  o Code simplification and refactoring:
-    - Start using OpenBSD's implementation of queue.h (originally by Niels
-      Provos).
-    - Move the entry node code from circuitbuild.c to its own file.
-    - Move the circuit build timeout tracking code from circuitbuild.c
-      to its own file.

   o Minor bugfixes:
     - Only disable TLS session ticket support when running as a TLS
       server. This keeps clients harder to distinguish from regular firefox
       connections. Fixes bug 7189; bugfix on Tor 0.2.3.23-rc.
