+ Tor 0.2.4.17-rc is the third release candidate for the Tor 0.2.4.x
+ series. It adds an emergency step to help us tolerate the massive
+ influx of users: 0.2.4 clients using the new (faster and safer) "NTor"
+ circuit-level handshakes now effectively jump the queue compared to
+ the 0.2.3 clients using "TAP" handshakes. This release also fixes a
+ big bug hindering bridge reachability tests.

previously they did not, which prevented them from receiving
successful connections from relays for self-test or bandwidth
