+Changes in version 0.2.4.22 - 2014-05-1?
+  Tor 0.2.4.22 backports numerous high-priority fixes from the Tor 0.2.5
+  alpha release series. These include blocking all authority signing keys
+  that may have been affected by the OpenSSL "heartbleed" bug, choosing
+  a far more secure set of TLS ciphersuites by default, closing a couple of
+  memory leaks that could be used to run a target relay out of RAM, and

-    - When running a hidden service, do not allow TunneledDirConns 0;
-      this will keep the hidden service from running, and also
+  o Major bugfixes (security, OOM)
+    - Fix a memory leak that could occur if a microdescriptor parse
+      fails during the tokenizing step. This bug could enable a memory
+      exhaustion attack by directory servers. Fixes bug #11649; bugfix
+      on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (configuration, security):
+    - When running a hidden service, do not allow TunneledDirConns 0:
+      trying to set that option together with a hidden service would
+      otherwise prevent the hidden service from running, and also
       make it publish its descriptors directly over HTTP. Fixes bug 10849;
       bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha.
 
-  o Minor bugfixes (exit relay, backport from 0.2.5.4-alpha):
-    - Stop leaking memory when we successfully resolve a PTR record.

   o Major features (security, backport from 0.2.5.4-alpha):

   o Minor features (log verbosity, backport from 0.2.5.4-alpha):
     - When we run out of usable circuit IDs on a channel, log only one
       warning for the whole channel, and describe how many circuits
       there were on the channel. Fixes part of ticket 11553.
