+Changes in version 0.2.0.31 - 2008-09-03
+  Tor 0.2.0.31 addresses two potential anonymity issues, starts to fix
+  a big bug we're seeing where in rare cases traffic from one Tor stream
+  gets mixed into another stream, and fixes a variety of smaller issues.
+
+  o Major bugfixes:
+    - Make sure that two circuits can never exist on the same connection
+      with the same circuit ID, even if one is marked for close. This
+      is conceivably a bugfix for bug 779. Bugfix on 0.1.0.4-rc.
+    - Relays now reject risky extend cells: if the extend cell includes
+      a digest of all zeroes, or asks to extend back to the relay that
+      sent the extend cell, tear down the circuit. Ideas suggested
+      by rovv.
+    - If not enough of our entry guards are available so we add a new
+      one, we might use the new one even if it overlapped with the
+      current circuit's exit relay (or its family). Anonymity bugfix
+      pointed out by rovv.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes:
+    - Recover 3-7 bytes that were wasted per memory chunk. Fixes bug
+      794; bug spotted by rovv. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
+    - Correctly detect the presence of the linux/netfilter_ipv4.h header
+      when building against recent kernels. Bugfix on 0.1.2.1-alpha.
+    - Pick size of default geoip filename string correctly on windows.
+      Fixes bug 806. Bugfix on 0.2.0.30.
+    - Make the autoconf script accept the obsolete --with-ssl-dir
+      option as an alias for the actually-working --with-openssl-dir
+      option. Fix the help documentation to recommend --with-openssl-dir.
+      Based on a patch by "Dave". Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
+    - Disallow session resumption attempts during the renegotiation
+      stage of the v2 handshake protocol. Clients should never be trying
+      session resumption at this point, but apparently some did, in
+      ways that caused the handshake to fail. Bug found by Geoff Goodell.
+      Bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc.
+    - When using the TransPort option on OpenBSD, and using the User
+      option to change UID and drop privileges, make sure to open
+      /dev/pf before dropping privileges. Fixes bug 782. Patch from
+      Christopher Davis. Bugfix on 0.1.2.1-alpha.
+    - Try to attach connections immediately upon receiving a RENDEZVOUS2
+      or RENDEZVOUS_ESTABLISHED cell. This can save a second or two
+      on the client side when connecting to a hidden service. Bugfix
+      on 0.0.6pre1. Found and fixed by Christian Wilms; resolves bug 743.
+    - When closing an application-side connection because its circuit is
+      getting torn down, generate the stream event correctly. Bugfix on
+      0.1.2.x. Anonymous patch.
