 Changes in version 0.4.6.8 - 2021-10-26
-  This version fixes several bugs from earlier versions of Tor. Worth
-  noting is a fix on how we use DNS timeout to report general overload.
-  Everyone running an earlier version, whether as a client, a relay, or
-  an onion service, should upgrade to Tor 0.3.5.17, 0.4.5.11,
-  or 0.4.6.8.
+  This version fixes several bugs from earlier versions of Tor. One
+  highlight is a fix on how we track DNS timeouts to report general
+  relay overload.
 
   o Major bugfixes (relay, overload state):
-    - Report the general overload state for DNS timeout errors only if
-      X% of all DNS queries over Y seconds are errors. Before that, it
-      only took 1 timeout to report the overload state which was just
-      too low of a threshold. The X and Y values are 1% and 10 minutes
-      respectively but they are also controlled by consensus parameters.
-      Fixes bug 40491; bugfix on 0.4.6.1-alpha.
