 Changes in version 0.3.1.6-rc - 2017-09-05
   Tor 0.3.1.6-rc fixes a few small bugs and annoyances in the 0.3.1
-  release series.
+  release series, including a bug that produced weird behavior on
+  Windows directory caches.
 
   This is the first release candidate in the Tor 0.3.1 series. If we
   find no new bugs or regressions here, the first stable 0.3.1 release
   will be nearly identical to it.
 
   o Major bugfixes (windows, directory cache):
-    - On windows, do not try to delete cached consensus documents and
-      diffs, until they unmapped from memory. Allow the diff storage
-      directory to grow larger in order to handle files that might need
-      to stay around longer. Fixes bug 22752; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
+    - On Windows, do not try to delete cached consensus documents and
+      diffs before they are unmapped from memory--Windows won't allow
+      that. Instead, allow the consensus cache directory to grow larger,
+      to hold files that might need to stay around longer. Fixes bug
+      22752; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
 
   o Minor features (directory authority):
-    - Improve the message that authorities report to relays when the
-      RSA/Ed25519 key pair they present conflicts with a previously
-      pinned key. Closes ticket 22348.
+    - Improve the message that authorities report to relays that present

+      Closes ticket 22348.
 
   o Minor features (geoip):
     - Update geoip and geoip6 to the August 3 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
       Country database.
 
   o Minor features (testing):
-    - Add a couple more tests for compression backend initialization.
-      Closes ticket 22286.
+    - Add more tests for compression backend initialization. Closes
+      ticket 22286.
 
   o Minor bugfixes (directory cache):
-    - Fix a memory leak in the code that recovers space in the consensus
-      directory cache. Fixes bug 23139; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
+    - Fix a memory leak when recovering space in the consensus cache.
+      Fixes bug 23139; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
 
   o Minor bugfixes (hidden service):
-    - A service is allowed to open a maximum number of circuits for a
-      specific period of time. That value was lower than it should be (8
-      vs 12) in the normal case of 3 introduction points. Fixes bug
-      22159; bugfix on 0.3.0.5-rc.
-    - Fix a BUG alert during HSv3 descriptor decoding that could trigger
-      with a specially crafted descriptor. Fixes bug 23233; bugfix on
-      0.3.0.1-alpha. Bug found by "haxxpop".
-    - Rate limit the log if we ever go above the maximum number of
+    - Increase the number of circuits that a service is allowed to
+      open over a specific period of time. The value was lower than it
+      should be (8 vs 12) in the normal case of 3 introduction points.
+      Fixes bug 22159; bugfix on 0.3.0.5-rc.
+    - Fix a BUG warning during HSv3 descriptor decoding that could be
+      cause by a specially crafted descriptor. Fixes bug 23233; bugfix
+      on 0.3.0.1-alpha. Bug found by "haxxpop".
+    - Rate-limit the log messages if we exceed the maximum number of
       allowed intro circuits. Fixes bug 22159; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
 
   o Minor bugfixes (logging, relay):
-    - Remove a log_warn() that has been forgotten when an introduction
-      point successfully established a hidden service prop224 circuit
-      with a client.
-    - Three other log_warn() for an introduction point have been changed
-      to protocol warning because they can be failure from the network
+    - Remove a forgotten debugging message when an introduction point
+      successfully establishes a hidden service prop224 circuit with
+      a client.
+    - Change three other log_warn() for an introduction point to
+      protocol warnings, because they can be failure from the network
       and are not relevant to the operator. Fixes bug 23078; bugfix on
       0.3.0.1-alpha and 0.3.0.2-alpha.
