+Changes in version 0.2.3.14-alpha - 2012-04-2?
 
   o Directory authority changes:
     - Change IP address for ides (v3 directory authority), and rename
       it to turtles.
 
-  o Security fixes:
-    - When using the debuging BridgePassword field, a bridge authority
-      now compares alleged passwords by hashing them, then comparing
-      the result to a digest of the expected authenticator. This avoids
-      a potential side-channel attack in the previous code, which
-      had foolishly used strcmp().  Fortunately, the BridgePassword field
-      *is not in use*, but if it had been, the timing
-      behavior of strcmp() might have allowed an adversary to guess the
-      BridgePassword value, and enumerate the bridges. Bugfix on
-      0.2.0.14-alpha. Fixes bug 5543.
-
   o Major bugfixes:
-    - Do not allow the presence of one consensus flavor to keep us from
-      downloading another. Previously, we had one "time to download a
-      consensus" timer, which didn't understand the idea of having one
-      consensus but wanting to download another. Fixes bug 4011; fix on
-      0.2.3.1-alpha.
-    - If authorities are unable to get a set of v2 consensus documents
-      from other directory authorities, they no longer fail-back and
-      try to fetch them from regular directory caches. Fixes bug 5635;
-      bugfix on 0.2.2.26-beta, where routers stopped downloading v2
-      consensus documents entirely.
-    - Prevent a client-side assertion failure when receiving an INTRODUCE2
+    - When we start a Tor client with a normal consensus already cached,
+      be willing to download a microdescriptor consensus. Fixes bug 4011;
+      fix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
+    - If authorities are unable to get a v2 consensus document from other
+      directory authorities, they no longer fall back to fetching
+      them from regular directory caches. Fixes bug 5635; bugfix on
+      0.2.2.26-beta, where routers stopped downloading v2 consensus
+      documents entirely.
+    - Avoid a client-side assertion failure when receiving an INTRODUCE2
       cell on a general purpose circuit. Fixes bug 5644; bugfix on
       0.2.1.6-alpha.
     - Avoid logging uninitialized data when unable to decode a hidden
-      service descriptor cookie.  Fixes bug 5647; bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
+      service descriptor cookie. Fixes bug 5647; bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
 
   o Major features (performance):
-    - When built to use the newly OpenSSL 1.0.1, and built for an x86 or
-      x86_64 instruction set, take advantage of OpenSSL's AESNI,
-      bitsliced, or vectorized AES implementations as appropriate. These
-      can be much, much faster than other AES implementations.
-
-  o Minor bugfixes:
+    - When built to use OpenSSL 1.0.1, and built for an x86 or x86_64
+      instruction set, take advantage of OpenSSL's AESNI, bitsliced, or
+      vectorized AES implementations as appropriate. These can be much,
+      much faster than other AES implementations.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (0.2.2.x and earlier):
+    - Change the BridgePassword feature (part of the "bridge community"
+      design, which is not yet implemented) to use a time-independent
+      comparison. The old behavior might have allowed an adversary
+      to use timing to guess the BridgePassword value. Fixes bug 5543;
+      bugfix on 0.2.0.14-alpha.
+    - Enforce correct return behavior of tor_vsscanf() when the '%%'
+      pattern is used. Fixes bug 5558. Bugfix on 0.2.1.13.
+    - When sending an HTTP/1.1 proxy request, include a Host header.
+      Fixes bug 5593; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha.
     - Don't log that we have "decided to publish new relay descriptor"
       unless we are actually publishing a descriptor. Fixes bug 3942;
-      bugfix on 0.2.3.2-alpha.
-    - Fix bug stomping on ORPort option NoListen and ignoring option
-      NoAdvertise. Fixes bug 5151; bugfix on 0.2.3.9-alpha.
-    - In the testsuite, provide a large enough buffer in the tor_sscanf
-      unit test. We'd otherwise overrun that buffer and crash during the
-      unit tests. Fixes bug 5449; bugfix on 0.2.3.12-alpha. Thanks weasel
-      for spotting the bug.
+      bugfix on 0.2.2.28-beta.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (0.2.3.x):
     - Fix a bug where a bridge authority crashes (on a failed assert)
       if it has seen no directory requests when it's time to write
       statistics to disk. Fixes bug 5508. Bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
-    - Enforce correct return behavior of tor_vsscanf(), when the '%%'
-      pattern is used. Fixes bug 5558. Bugfix on 0.2.1.13.
+    - Fix bug stomping on ORPort option NoListen and ignoring option
+      NoAdvertise. Fixes bug 5151; bugfix on 0.2.3.9-alpha.
+    - In the testsuite, provide a large enough buffer in the tor_sscanf
+      unit test. Otherwise we'd overrun that buffer and crash during
+      the unit tests. Found by weasel. Fixes bug 5449; bugfix on
+      0.2.3.12-alpha.
     - Make sure we create the keys directory if it doesn't exist and we're
-      about to store the dynamic diffie hellman parameters. Fixes bug 5572;
-      bugfix on 0.2.3.13-alpha.
-    - When sending an HTTP/1.1 proxy request, include a Host header.
-      Fixes bug 5593; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha.
+      about to store the dynamic Diffie-Hellman parameters. Fixes bug
+      5572; bugfix on 0.2.3.13-alpha.
     - Fix a small memory leak when trying to decode incorrect base16
       authenticator during SAFECOOKIE authentication. Found by
       Coverity Scan. Fixes CID 507. Bugfix on 0.2.3.13-alpha.
