Changes in version 0.4.6.11 - 2022-08-11
+ This version contains two major fixes aimed at reducing memory pressure on
+ relays and possible side-channel. The rest of the fixes were backported for
+ stability or safety purposes.
+
+ This is the very LAST version of this series. As of August 1st 2022, it is
+ end-of-life (EOL). We thus strongly recommend to upgrade to the latest
+ stable of the 0.4.7.x series.

o Major bugfixes (relay):
- - Remove OR connections btrack subsystem entries when the
- connections closes normally. Before this, we would only close it
- on error and thus leaking memory for each normal OR connections.
- Fixes bug 40604; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
- - Stop sending TRUNCATED cell and instead close the circuits which
- sends a DESTROY cell so every relay in the circuit path can stop
- queuing cells. Fixes bug 40623; bugfix on 0.1.0.2-rc.
