+Changes in version 0.4.4.4-rc - 2020-08-12
+ Tor 0.4.4.4-rc is the first release candidate in its series. It fixes
+ several bugs in previous versions, including some that caused annoying
+ behavior for relay and bridge operators.
+
+ o Minor features (security):
+ - Channels using obsolete versions of the Tor link protocol are no
+ longer allowed to circumvent address-canonicity checks. (This is
+ only a minor issue, since such channels have no way to set ed25519
+ keys, and therefore should always be rejected for circuits that
+ specify ed25519 identities.) Closes ticket 40081.
+
+ o Minor features (defense in depth):
+ - Wipe more data from connection address fields before returning
+ them to the memory heap. Closes ticket 6198.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (correctness, buffers):
+ - Fix a correctness bug that could cause an assertion failure if we
+ ever tried using the buf_move_all() function with an empty input
+ buffer. As far as we know, no released versions of Tor do this.
+ Fixes bug 40076; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox):
+ - Fix startup crash with seccomp sandbox enabled when tor tries to
+ open the data directory. Patch from Daniel Pinto. Fixes bug 40072;
+ bugfix on 0.4.4.3-alpha-dev.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3):
+ - Remove a BUG() warning that could trigger in certain unlikely
+ edge-cases. Fixes bug 34086; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (rate limiting, bridges, pluggable transports):
+ - On a bridge, treat all connections from an ExtORPort as remote by
+ default for the purposes of rate-limiting. Previously, bridges
+ would treat the connection as local unless they explicitly
+ received a "USERADDR" command. ExtORPort connections still count
+ as local if there is a USERADDR command with an explicit local
+ address. Fixes bug 33747; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (relay, self-testing):
+ - When starting up as a relay, if we haven't been able to verify
+ that we're reachable, only launch reachability tests at most once
+ a minute. Previously, we had been launching tests up to once a
+ second, which was needlessly noisy. Fixes bug 40083; bugfix
+ on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (testing):
+ - When running the subsystem order check, use the python binary
+ configured with the PYTHON environment variable. Fixes bug 40095;
+ bugfix on 0.4.4.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (windows):
+ - Fix a bug that prevented Tor from starting if its log file grew
+ above 2GB. Fixes bug 31036; bugfix on 0.2.1.8-alpha.
