+Changes in version 0.2.9.5-rc - 2016-1?-??
+
+
+Changes in version 0.2.8.9 - 2016-10-17
+  Tor 0.2.8.9 backports a fix for a security hole in previous versions
+  of Tor that would allow a remote attacker to crash a Tor client,
+  hidden service, relay, or authority. All Tor users should upgrade to
+  this version, or to 0.2.9.4-alpha. Patches will be released for older
+  versions of Tor.
+
+  o Major features (security fixes, also in 0.2.9.4-alpha):
+    - Prevent a class of security bugs caused by treating the contents
+      of a buffer chunk as if they were a NUL-terminated string. At
+      least one such bug seems to be present in all currently used
+      versions of Tor, and would allow an attacker to remotely crash
+      most Tor instances, especially those compiled with extra compiler
+      hardening. With this defense in place, such bugs can't crash Tor,
+      though we should still fix them as they occur. Closes ticket
+      20384 (TROVE-2016-10-001).
+
+  o Minor features (geoip):
+    - Update geoip and geoip6 to the October 4 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
+      Country database.
