Changes in version 0.2.4.12-alpha - 2013-04-18
+ Tor 0.2.4.12-alpha moves Tor forward on several fronts: it starts the
+ process for lengthening the guard rotation period, makes directory
+ authority opinions in the consensus a bit less gameable, makes socks5
+ username/password circuit isolation actually work, and fixes a wide
+ variety of other issues.
