 Changes in version 0.4.7.9 - 2022-08-11
+  This version contains several major fixes aimed at reducing memory pressure on
+  relays and possible side-channel. It also contains a major bugfix related to
+  congestion control also aimed at reducing memory pressure on relays.
+  Finally, there is last one major bugfix related to Vanguard L2 layer node
+  selection.
+
+  We strongly recommend to upgrade to this version especially for Exit relays
+  in order to help the network defend against this ongoing DDoS.
