- o Major enhancements:
+ o Major features:
- Re-enable TLS 1.1 and 1.2 when built with OpenSSL 1.0.1e or later.
- (OpenSSL before 1.0.1 didn't have TLS 1.1 or 1.2. OpenSSL from 1.0.1
- through 1.0.1d had bugs that prevented renegotiation from working
- with TLS 1.1 or 1.2, so we disabled them to solve bug 6033.) Fix for
- issue #6055.
+ Resolves ticket 6055. (OpenSSL before 1.0.1 didn't have TLS 1.1 or
+ 1.2, and OpenSSL from 1.0.1 through 1.0.1d had bugs that prevented
+ renegotiation from working with TLS 1.1 or 1.2, so we had disabled

o Major bugfixes:
- - Stop trying to bootstrap all our directory information from
- only our first guard. Discovered while fixing bug 9946; bugfix
- on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
- No longer stop reading or writing on cpuworker connections when
our rate limiting buckets go empty. Now we should handle circuit
handshake requests more promptly. Resolves bug 9731.

- o Minor bugfixes:
- If we are unable to save a microdescriptor to the journal, do not
drop it from memory and then reattempt downloading it. Fixes bug
9645; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
+ - Stop trying to bootstrap all our directory information from
+ only our first guard. Discovered while fixing bug 9946; bugfix
+ on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
+ - The new channel code sometimes lost track of in-progress circuits,
+ causing long-running clients to stop building new circuits. The
+ fix is to always call circuit_n_chan_done(chan, 0) from
+ channel_closed(). Fixes bug 9776; bugfix on 0.2.4.17-rc.
- o Minor bugfixes (performance, fingerprinting):
+ o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.4.x):
+ - Correctly log long IPv6 exit policies, instead of truncating them
+ or reporting an error. Fixes bug 9596; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
- Our default TLS ecdhe groups were backwards: we meant to be using
P224 for relays (for performance win) and P256 for bridges (since
it is more common in the wild). Instead we had it backwards. After

+ o Minor features (other):
+ - Improve the circuit queue out-of-memory handler. Previously, when

- Generate bootstrapping status update events correctly when fetching
microdescriptors. Fixes bug 9927.
- - Add anchors to the manpage so we can link to the html version of

- Update to the October 2 2013 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
