+Changes in version 0.2.4.19 - 2013-12-11
+  The Tor 0.2.4 release series is dedicated to the memory of Aaron Swartz
+  (1986-2013). Aaron worked on diverse projects including helping to guide
+  Creative Commons, playing a key role in stopping SOPA/PIPA, bringing
+  transparency to the U.S government's PACER documents, and contributing
+  design and development for Tor and Tor2Web. Aaron was one of the latest
+  martyrs in our collective fight for civil liberties and human rights,
+  and his death is all the more painful because he was one of us.
+
+  Tor 0.2.4.19, the first stable release in the 0.2.4 branch, features
+  a new circuit handshake and link encryption that use ECC to provide
+  better security and efficiency; makes relays better manage circuit
+  creation requests; uses "directory guards" to reduce client enumeration
+  risks; makes bridges collect and report statistics about the pluggable
+  transports they support; cleans up and improves our geoip database;
+  gets much closer to ipv6 support for clients, bridges, and relays; makes
+  directory authorities use measured bandwidths rather than advertised
+  ones when computing flags and thresholds; disables client-side DNS
+  caching to reduce tracking risks; and fixes a big bug in bridge
+  reachability testing. This new release introduces two new design
+  abstractions in the code: a new "channel" abstraction between circuits
+  and or_connections to allow for implementing alternate relay-to-relay
+  transports, and a new "circuitmux" abstraction storing the queue of
+  circuits for a channel. It also includes many stability, security,
+  and privacy fixes.
