+    - Directory authorities can now create, vote on, and serve multiple
       parallel formats of directory data as part of their voting process.
-      This is a partial implementation of Proposal 162: "Publish the
-      consensus in multiple flavors."
-    - Directory authorities can now agree on and publish small summaries of
-      router information that clients can use in place of regular server
-      descriptors.  This will eventually allow clients to use far less
-      bandwidth for downloading information about the network.  This begins

     - New DisableAllSwap option. If set to 1, Tor will attempt to lock all
-      current and future memory pages. On supported platforms, this should
-      effectively disable any and all attempts to page out memory. Under the
-      hood, DisableAllSwap uses mlockall() on unix-like platforms. Windows is
-      currently unsupported. We believe that this feature works on modern
-      Gnu/Linux distributions. Mac OS X appears to be broken by design. On
-      reasonable *BSD systems it should also be supported but this is untested.
-      This option requires that you start your Tor as root. If you use
-      DisableAllSwap, please consider using the User option to properly reduce
-      the privileges of your Tor.

+      to help Tor build correctly for Android phones.
 
   o Major bugfixes:
     - Work around a security feature in OpenSSL 0.9.8l that prevents our
-      handshake from working unless we explicitly tell OpenSSL that we are
-      using SSL renegotiation safely.  We are, of course, but OpenSSL
-      0.9.8l won't work unless we say we are.

-  o Code simplifications and refactorings:
-    - Numerous changes, bugfixes, and workarounds from Nathan Freitas
-      to help Tor build correctly for Android phones.
-    - Begun converting Tor's signature and message digest logic to handle
-      multiple hash algorithms.

   o Minor bugfixes:
     - Fix a crash bug when trying to initialize the evdns module in

+      Libevent 2. Bugfix on 0.2.1.16-rc.
     - Stop logging at severity 'warn' when some other Tor client tries
       to establish a circuit with us using weak DH keys. It's a protocol
       violation, but that doesn't mean ordinary users need to hear about
       it. Fixes the bug part of bug 1114. Bugfix on 0.1.0.13.
     - Do not refuse to learn about authority certs and v2 networkstatus
-      documents that are older than the latest consensus.  This bug might
-      have degraded client bootstrapping.  Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.

     - If your relay can't keep up with the number of incoming create
       cells, it would log one warning per failure into your logs. Limit
       warnings to 1 per minute. Bugfix on 0.0.2pre10; fixes bug 1042.

       introduced in 0.2.2.1-alpha. Found via valgrind.
