+Changes in version 0.4.8.6 - 2023-09-18
+  This version contains an important fix for onion service regarding congestion
+  control and its reliability. Apart from that, uneeded BUG warnings have been
+  suppressed especially about a compression bomb seen on relays. We strongly
+  recommend, in particular onion service operators, to upgrade as soon as
+  possible to this latest stable.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (onion service):
+    - Fix a reliability issue where services were expiring their
+      introduction points every consensus update. This caused
+      connectivity issues for clients caching the old descriptor and
+      intro points. Bug reported and fixed by gitlab user
+      @hyunsoo.kim676. Fixes bug 40858; bugfix on 0.4.7.5-alpha.
+
+  o Minor features (debugging, compression):
+    - Log the input and output buffer sizes when we detect a potential
+      compression bomb. Diagnostic for ticket 40739.
+
+  o Minor features (fallbackdir):
+    - Regenerate fallback directories generated on September 18, 2023.
+
+  o Minor features (geoip data):
+    - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as
+      retrieved on 2023/09/18.
+
+  o Minor bugfix (defensive programming):
+    - Disable multiple BUG warnings of a missing relay identity key when
+      starting an instance of Tor compiled without relay support. Fixes
+      bug 40848; bugfix on 0.4.3.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (bridge authority):
+    - When reporting a pseudo-networkstatus as a bridge authority, or
+      answering "ns/purpose/*" controller requests, include accurate
+      published-on dates from our list of router descriptors. Fixes bug
+      40855; bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compression, zstd):
+    - Use less frightening language and lower the log-level of our run-
+      time ABI compatibility check message in our Zstd compression
+      subsystem. Fixes bug 40815; bugfix on 0.4.3.1-alpha.
