+Changes in version 0.4.7.5-alpha - 2022-03-25
+ This version contains, of what we hope, the final work for congestion
+ control paving the way to the stable version. We expect this to be the last
+ alpha version of the 0.4.7.x series. Mostly minor bugfixes except one major
+ bugfix that changes how Tor behaves with DNS timeouts for Exit relays. As
+ always with an alpha, we recommend all relay operators to upgrade from
+ previous alpha to this one.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (onion service, congestion control):
+ - Fix the onion service upload case where the congestion control
+ parameters were not added to the right object. Fixes bug 40586;
+ bugfix on 0.4.7.4-alpha.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (relay, DNS):
+ - Lower the DNS timeout from 3 attempts at 5 seconds each to 2
+ attempts at 1 seconds each. Two new consensus parameters were
+ added to control these values. This change should improve observed
+ performance under DNS load; see ticket for more details. Fixes bug
+ 40312; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor features (control port):
+ - Provide congestion control fields on CIRC_BW and STREAM control
+ port events, for use by sbws. Closes ticket 40568.
+
+ o Minor features (fallbackdir):
+ - Regenerate fallback directories generated on March 25, 2022.
+
+ o Minor features (geoip data):
+ - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as
+ retrieved on 2022/03/25.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (DNSPort, dormant mode):
+ - A request on the DNSPort now wakes up a dormant tor. Fixes bug
+ 40577; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (metrics port, onion service):
+ - Fix the metrics with a port label to be unique. Before this, all
+ ports of an onion service would be on the same line which violates
+ the Prometheus rules of unique labels. Fixes bug 40581; bugfix
+ on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (onion service congestion control):
+ - Avoid a non-fatal assertion failure in the case where we fail to
+ set up congestion control on a rendezvous circuit. This could
+ happen naturally if a cache entry expired at an unexpected time.
+ Fixes bug 40576; bugfix on 0.4.7.4-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (onion service, client):
+ - Fix a rare but fatal assertion failure due to a guard subsystem
+ recursion triggered by the onion service client. Fixes bug 40579;
+ bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (relay, overload):
+ - Decide whether to signal overload based on a fraction and
+ assessment period of ntor handshake drops. Previously, a single
+ drop could trigger an overload state, which caused many false
+ positives. Fixes bug 40560; bugfix on 0.4.7.1-alpha.
+

Changes in version 0.4.7.4-alpha - 2022-02-25
This version contains the negotiation congestion control work which is the
final part needed before going stable. There are also various bugfixes
