+
+  o Major bugfixes (TROVE-2023-004, relay):

+
+  o Minor features (fallbackdir):
+    - Regenerate fallback directories generated on November 03, 2023.

+      retrieved on 2023/11/03.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (directory authority):
+    - Look at the network parameter "maxunmeasuredbw" with the correct
+      spelling. Fixes bug 40869; bugfix on 0.4.6.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (vanguards addon support):
