+Changes in version 0.2.8.7 - 2016-08-24
+ Tor 0.2.8.7 fixes an important bug related to the ReachableAddresses
+ option in 0.2.8.6, and replaces a retiring bridge authority. Everyone
+ who sets the ReachableAddresses option, and all bridges, are strongly
+ encouraged to upgrade.
+
+ o Directory authority changes:
+ - The "Tonga" bridge authority has been retired; the new bridge
+ authority is "Bifroest". Closes tickets 19728 and 19690.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (client, security):
+ - Only use the ReachableAddresses option to restrict the first hop
+ in a path. Previously, it would apply to every hop in the path,
+ with a possible degredation in anonymity for anyone using an
+ uncommon ReachableAddress setting. Fixes bug 19973; bugfix
+ on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
+
+ o Minor features (geoip):
+ - Update geoip and geoip6 to the August 2 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
+ Country database.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
+ - Remove an inappropriate "inline" in tortls.c that was causing
+ warnings on older versions of GCC. Fixes bug 19903; bugfix
+ on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (fallback directories):
+ - Avoid logging a NULL string pointer when loading fallback
+ directory information. Fixes bug 19947; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha
+ and 0.2.8.1-alpha. Report and patch by "rubiate".
