+ o Minor bugfixes (documentation):
+ - Document that the PerConnBW{Rate,Burst} options will fall back to their
+ corresponding consensus parameters only if those parameters are
+ set. Previously we had claimed that these values would always be
+ set in the consensus. Fixes bug 25296; bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha.
