 Changes in version 0.4.9.1-alpha - 2024-12-03
   This is the first alpha of the 0.4.9.x series. This release mostly consists
   of bugfixes including some major ones. There are several minor features in
-  this release but no large new subsystem. Most of the fixes in this release
-  are already in 0.4.8.x stable series.
-
-  o Major bugfixes (circuit building):
-    - Conflux circuit building was ignoring the "predicted ports"
-      feature, which aims to make Tor stop building circuits if there
-      have been no user requests lately. This bug led to every idle Tor
-      on the network building and discarding circuits every 30 seconds,
-      which added overall load to the network, used bandwidth and
-      battery from clients that weren't actively using their Tor, and
-      kept sockets open on guards which added connection padding
-      essentially forever. Fixes bug 40981; bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha;
-
-  o Major bugfixes (conflux):
-    - Fix an issue that prevented us from pre-building more conflux sets
-      after existing sets had been used. Fixes bug 40862; bugfix
-      on 0.4.8.1-alpha.
-
-  o Major bugfixes (guard usage):
-    - When Tor excluded a guard due to temporary circuit restrictions,
-      it considered *additional* primary guards for potential usage by
-      that circuit. This could result in more than the specified number
-      of guards (currently 2) being used, long-term, by the tor client.
-      This could happen when a Guard was also selected as an Exit node,
-      but it was exacerbated by the Conflux guard restrictions. Both
-      instances have been fixed. Fixes bug 40876; bugfix
-      on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
-
-  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 Major bugfixes (onion service, TROVE-2023-006):
-    - Fix a possible hard assert on a NULL pointer when recording a
-      failed rendezvous circuit on the service side for the MetricsPort.
-      Fixes bug 40883; bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha

       with fragile hardening enabled. Fixes bugs 40465 and 40599; bugfix
       on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
 
-  o Major bugfixes (TROVE-2023-004, relay):
-    - Mitigate an issue when Tor compiled with OpenSSL can crash during
-      handshake with a remote relay. Fixes bug 40874; bugfix
-      on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
-
-  o Major bugfixes (TROVE-2023-007, exit):
-    - Improper error propagation from a safety check in conflux leg
-      linking lead to a desynchronization of which legs were part of a
-      conflux set, ultimately causing a UAF and NULL pointer dereference
-      crash on Exit relays. Fixes bug 40897; bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha.
-
-  o Minor feature (authority):
-    - Reject 0.4.7.x series at the authority level. Closes ticket 40896.
-
-  o Minor feature (bridges, pluggable transport):
-    - Add STATUS TYPE=version handler for Pluggable Transport. This
-      allows us to gather version statistics on Pluggable Transport
-      usage from bridge servers on our metrics portal. Closes
-      ticket 11101.
-
   o Minor feature (defense in depth):
     - Verify needle is smaller than haystack before calling memmem.
       Closes ticket 40854.
 
-  o Minor feature (dirauth):
-    - Add back faravahar with a new address and new keys. Closes 40689.
-
-  o Minor feature (dirauth, tor26):
-    - New IP address and keys.
-
   o Minor feature (directory authority):
-    - Allow BandwidthFiles "node_id" KeyValue without the dollar sign at
-      the start of the hexdigit, in order to easier database queries
-      combining Tor documents in which the relays fingerprint does not
-      include it. Fixes bug 40891; bugfix on 0.4.7 (all supported
-      versions of Tor).
     - Introduce MinimalAcceptedServerVersion to allow modification of
       minimal accepted version for relays without requiring a new tor
       release. Closes ticket 40817.
