+Changes in version 0.4.1.4-rc - 2019-07-25
+  Tor 0.4.1.4-rc fixes a few bugs from previous versions of Tor, and
+  updates to a new list of fallback directories. If no new bugs are
+  found, the next release in the 0.4.1.x serious should be stable.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (circuit build, guard):
+    - When considering upgrading circuits from "waiting for guard" to
+      "open", always ignore circuits that are marked for close. Otherwise,
+      we can end up in the situation where a subsystem is notified that
+      a closing circuit has just opened, leading to undesirable
+      behavior. Fixes bug 30871; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor features (continuous integration):
+    - Our Travis configuration now uses Chutney to run some network
+      integration tests automatically. Closes ticket 29280.
+
+  o Minor features (fallback directory list):
+    - Replace the 157 fallbacks originally introduced in Tor 0.3.5.6-rc
+      in December 2018 (of which ~122 were still functional), with a
+      list of 148 fallbacks (70 new, 78 existing, 79 removed) generated
+      in June 2019. Closes ticket 28795.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (circuit padding):
+    - On relays, properly check that a padding machine is absent before
+      logging a warning about it being absent. Fixes bug 30649; bugfix
+      on 0.4.1.1-alpha.
+    - Add two NULL checks in unreachable places to silence Coverity (CID
+      144729 and 1447291) and better future-proof ourselves. Fixes bug
+      31024; bugfix on 0.4.1.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (crash on exit):
+    - Avoid a set of possible code paths that could try to use freed
+      memory in routerlist_free() while Tor was exiting. Fixes bug
+      31003; bugfix on 0.1.2.2-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (logging):
+    - Fix a conflict between the flag used for messaging-domain log
+      messages, and the LD_NO_MOCK testing flag. Fixes bug 31080; bugfix
+      on 0.4.1.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (memory leaks):
+    - Fix a trivial memory leak when parsing an invalid value from a
+      download schedule in the configuration. Fixes bug 30894; bugfix
+      on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
+
+  o Code simplification and refactoring:
+    - Remove some dead code from circpad_machine_remove_token() to fix
+      some Coverity warnings (CID 1447298). Fixes bug 31027; bugfix
+      on 0.4.1.1-alpha.
