-  o Major bugfixes (bridges, pluggable transports):
-    - Modify the check for OR connections to private addresses. Allow
-      bridges on private addresses, including pluggable transports that
-      ignore the (potentially private) address in the bridge line. Fixes

       linked connection attaches. This prevents tor making unnecessary

     - Make relays retry consensus downloads the correct number of times,
       rather than the more aggressive client retry count. Fixes part of
       ticket 18809.
-    - Stop downloading consensuses when we have a consensus, even if we
-      don't have all the certificates for it yet. Fixes bug 18809;
-      bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. Patches by arma and teor.
 
   o Major bugfixes (compilation):
     - Repair hardened builds under the clang compiler. Previously, our
       use of _FORTIFY_SOURCE would conflict with clang's address
       sanitizer. Fixes bug 14821; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
 
-  o Major bugfixes (crash on shutdown):
-    - Correctly handle detaching circuits from muxes when shutting down.
-      Fixes bug 18116; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
-    - Fix an assert-on-exit bug related to counting memory usage in
-      rephist.c. Fixes bug 18651; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
-
-  o Major bugfixes (crash on startup):
-    - Fix a segfault during startup: If a Unix domain socket was
-      configured as listener (such as a ControlSocket or a SocksPort
-      "unix:" socket), and tor was started as root but not configured to
-      switch to another user, tor would segfault while trying to string
-      compare a NULL value. Fixes bug 18261; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
-      Patch by weasel.
-
-  o Major bugfixes (directory mirrors):
-    - Decide whether to advertise begindir support in the the same way
-      we decide whether to advertise our DirPort. Allowing these
-      decisions to become out-of-sync led to surprising behavior like
-      advertising begindir support when hibernation made us not

   o Major bugfixes (dns proxy mode, crash):
