+  o Major feature (hidden service v3):
+    - Implement client authorization at the descriptor level. A new torrc
+      option was added to control this client side: ClientOnionAuthDir <path>.
+      On the service side, if the "authorized_clients/" directory exists in
+      the onion service directory path, client configuration are read from the
+      files within. See the manpage for more details. Closes ticket 27547.
+      Patch done by Suphanat Chunhapanya (haxxpop).

+Client Authorization
+--------------------
+
+(Version 3 only)
+
+To configure client authorization on the service side, the
+"<HiddenServiceDir>/authorized_clients/" needs to exists. Each file in that
+directory should be suffixed with ".auth" (the file name is irrelevant) and
+its content format MUST be:
+
+        <auth-type>:<key-type>:<base32-encoded-public-key>
+
+The supported <auth-type> are: "descriptor". The supported <key-type> are:
+"x25519". Each file MUST contain one line only. Any malformed file will be
+ignored.
+
+Note that once you've configured client authorization, anyone else with the
+address won't be able to access it from this point on. If no authorization is
+configured, the service will be accessible to all.
