     - Add a new option, PredictedPortsRelevanceTime, to control how long
       after having received a request to connect to a given port Tor
       will try to keep circuits ready in anticipation of future requests
       for that port. Patch from "unixninja92"; implements ticket 9176.

       DirPolicy, AuthDirReject, AuthDirInvalid, AuthDirBadDir, or
       AuthDirBadExit options. (These options only support address
       ranges.) Fixes part of ticket 11108.

       of curve25519, build it with the -fomit-frame-pointer option to
       make it go faster on register-starved hosts. This improves our
       handshake performance by about 6% on i386 hosts without nacl.

       tor-resolve doesn't use the sandbox code, and turning it on was

       Linux. Fixes bug 13295; bugfix on 0.2.5.3-alpha.

       LibreSSL) that disable compression. Fixes bug 12602; bugfix on
