+  It adds several new security features, including improved DoS
+  resistance for relays, new compiler hardening options, and a
+  system-call sandbox for hardened installations on Linux (requires
+  seccomp2). The controller protocol has several new features, resolving
+  IPv6 addresses should work better than before, and relays should be a
+  little more CPU-efficient. We've added support for more (Open,Free)BSD
+  transparent proxy types. We've improved the build system and testing
+  intrastructure to allow unit testing of more parts of the Tor
+  codebase. Finally, we've addressed several nagging pluggable transport
+  usability issues, and included numerous other small bugfixes and
+  features mentioned below.
