 into the ReleaseNotes file before stable.]

-  o Major features (security fixes):
-    - Prevent a class of security bugs caused by treating the contents
-      of a buffer chunk as if they were a NUL-terminated string. At
-      least one such bug seems to be present in all currently used
-      versions of Tor, and would allow an attacker to remotely crash
-      most Tor instances, especially those compiled with extra compiler
-      hardening. With this defense in place, such bugs can't crash Tor,
-      though we should still fix them as they occur. Closes ticket
-      20384 (TROVE-2016-10-001).

   o Major features (single-hop "hidden" services):

       epistemic attacks. Fixes bug 19163; bugfix on 0.2.4.18-rc.
 
-  o Major bugfixes (client performance):
-    - Clients now respond to new application stream requests immediately
-      when they arrive, rather than waiting up to one second before
-      starting to handle them. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix
-      on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
-
-  o Major bugfixes (client reliability):
-    - When Tor leaves standby because of a new application request, open
-      circuits as needed to serve that request. Previously, we would
-      potentially wait a very long time. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix
-      on 0.2.8.1-alpha.

-  o Major bugfixes (client, security, also in 0.2.8.7):
-    - Only use the ReachableAddresses option to restrict the first hop
-      in a path. In earlier versions of 0.2.8.x, it would apply to
-      every hop in the path, with a possible degradation in anonymity
-      for anyone using an uncommon ReachableAddress setting. Fixes bug
-      19973; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.

-  o Major bugfixes (crash, also in 0.2.8.8):
-    - 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 (directory downloads):
     - Avoid resetting download status for consensuses hourly, since we
       already have another, smarter retry mechanism. Fixes bug 8625;
