+Changes in version 0.2.5.15 - 2017-10-25
+  Tor 0.2.5.15 backports a collection of bugfixes from later Tor release
+  series. It also adds a new directory authority, Bastet.
+
+  Note: the Tor 0.2.5 series will no longer be supported after 1 May
+  2018. If you need a release with long-term support, please upgrade to
+  the 0.2.9 series. Otherwise, please upgrade to 0.3.1 or later.
+
+  o Directory authority changes:
+    - Add "Bastet" as a ninth directory authority to the default list.
+      Closes ticket 23910.
+    - The directory authority "Longclaw" has changed its IP address.
+      Closes ticket 23592.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (openbsd, denial-of-service, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+    - Avoid an assertion failure bug affecting our implementation of
+      inet_pton(AF_INET6) on certain OpenBSD systems whose strtol()
+      handling of "0xx" differs from what we had expected. Fixes bug
+      22789; bugfix on 0.2.3.8-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-007.
+
+  o Minor features (geoip):
+    - Update geoip and geoip6 to the October 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
+      Country database.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (defensive programming, undefined behavior, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
+    - Fix a memset() off the end of an array when packing cells. This
+      bug should be harmless in practice, since the corrupted bytes are
+      still in the same structure, and are always padding bytes,
+      ignored, or immediately overwritten, depending on compiler
+      behavior. Nevertheless, because the memset()'s purpose is to make
+      sure that any other cell-handling bugs can't expose bytes to the
+      network, we need to fix it. Fixes bug 22737; bugfix on
+      0.2.4.11-alpha. Fixes CID 1401591.
+
+  o Build features (backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+    - Tor's repository now includes a Travis Continuous Integration (CI)
+      configuration file (.travis.yml). This is meant to help new
+      developers and contributors who fork Tor to a Github repository be
+      better able to test their changes, and understand what we expect
+      to pass. To use this new build feature, you must fork Tor to your
+      Github account, then go into the "Integrations" menu in the
+      repository settings for your fork and enable Travis, then push
+      your changes. Closes ticket 22636.
