+Changes in version 0.3.1.4-alpha - 2017-06-29
+  Tor 0.3.1.4-alpha fixes a path selection bug that would allow a client
+  to use a guard that was in the same network family as a chosen exit
+  node. This is a security regression; all clients running earlier
+  versions of 0.3.0.x or 0.3.1.x should upgrade to 0.3.0.9 or
+  0.3.1.4-alpha.
+
+  This release also fixes several other bugs related to new features in
+  0.3.0.x and 0.3.1.x, including others that can effect bandwidth usage
+  and correctness.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (path selection, security):
+    - When choosing which guard to use for a circuit, avoid the
+      exit's family along with the exit itself. Previously, the new
+      guard selection logic avoided the exit, but did not consider
+      its family.  Fixes bug 22753; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. Tracked
+      as TROVE-2016-006 and CVE-2017-0377.
