+Changes in version 0.2.8.8 - 2016-09-23
+ Tor 0.2.8.8 fixes two crash bugs present in previous versions of the
+ 0.2.8.x series. Relays running 0.2.8.x should upgrade, as should users
+ who select public relays as their bridges.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (crash):
+ - Fix a complicated crash bug that could affect Tor clients
+ configured to use bridges when replacing a networkstatus consensus
+ in which one of their bridges was mentioned. OpenBSD users saw
+ more crashes here, but all platforms were potentially affected.
+ Fixes bug 20103; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (relay, OOM handler):
+ - Fix a timing-dependent assertion failure that could occur when we
+ tried to flush from a circuit after having freed its cells because
+ of an out-of-memory condition. Fixes bug 20203; bugfix on
+ 0.2.8.1-alpha. Thanks to "cypherpunks" for help diagnosing
+ this one.
+
+ o Minor feature (fallback directories):
+ - Remove broken fallbacks from the hard-coded fallback directory
+ list. Closes ticket 20190; patch by teor.
+
+ o Minor features (geoip):
+ - Update geoip and geoip6 to the September 6 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
+ Country database.
