+Changes in version 0.4.6.3-rc - 2021-05-10
+ Tor 0.4.6.3-rc is the first release candidate in its series. It fixes
+ a few small bugs from previous versions, and adds a better error
+ message when trying to use (no longer supported) v2 onion services.
+
+ Though we anticipate that we'll be doing a bit more clean-up between
+ now and the stable release, we expect that our remaining changes will
+ be fairly simple. There will likely be at least one more release
+ candidate before 0.4.6.x is stable.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (onion service, control port):
+ - Make the ADD_ONION command properly configure client authorization.
+ Before this fix, the created onion failed to add the client(s).
+ Fixes bug 40378; bugfix on 0.4.6.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor features (compatibility, Linux seccomp sandbox):
+ - Add a workaround to enable the Linux sandbox to work correctly
+ with Glibc 2.33. This version of Glibc has started using the
+ fstatat() system call, which previously our sandbox did not allow.
+ Closes ticket 40382; see the ticket for a discussion of trade-offs.
+
+ o Minor features (compilation):
+ - Make the autoconf script build correctly with autoconf versions
+ 2.70 and later. Closes part of ticket 40335.
+
+ o Minor features (geoip data):
+ - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as
+ retrieved on 2021/05/07.
+
+ o Minor features (onion services):
+ - Add a warning message when trying to connect to (no longer
+ supported) v2 onion services. Closes ticket 40373.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (build, cross-compilation):
+ - Allow a custom "ar" for cross-compilation. Our previous build
+ script had used the $AR environment variable in most places, but
+ it missed one. Fixes bug 40369; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compiler warnings):
+ - Fix an indentation problem that led to a warning from GCC 11.1.1.
+ Fixes bug 40380; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (logging, relay):
+ - Emit a warning if an Address is found to be internal and tor can't
+ use it. Fixes bug 40290; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (onion service, client, memory leak):
+ - Fix a bug where an expired cached descriptor could get overwritten
+ with a new one without freeing it, leading to a memory leak. Fixes
+ bug 40356; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
