+ o Major bugfixes (circuit building):
+ - Conflux circuit building was ignoring the "predicted ports" feature,
+ which aims to make Tor stop building circuits if there have been
+ no user requests lately. This bug led to every idle Tor on the
+ network building and discarding circuits every 30 seconds, which
+ added overall load to the network, used bandwidth and battery from
+ clients that weren't actively using their Tor, and kept sockets open
+ on guards which added connection padding essentially forever. Fixes
+ bug 40981; bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha;
