+Changes in version 0.4.5.12 - 2022-02-04
+  This version contains mostly minor bugfixes for which you can find the
+  details below. The previous release (0.4.5.11) was suppose to update the
+  GeoIP and fallbackdir lists but a problem in our release pipeline prevented
+  those files to be updated correctly. Thus, this release regenerates up to
+  date lists. Furthermore, another fix to highlight is that relays don't
+  advertise onion service v2 support at the protocol version level.
+
+  o Minor feature (reproducible build):
+    - The repository can now build reproducible tarballs which adds the
+      build command "make dist-reprod" for that purpose. Closes
+      ticket 26299.
+
+  o Minor features (compilation):
+    - Give an error message if trying to build with a version of
+      LibreSSL known not to work with Tor. (There's an incompatibility
+      with LibreSSL versions 3.2.1 through 3.4.0 inclusive because of
+      their incompatibility with OpenSSL 1.1.1's TLSv1.3 APIs.) Closes
+      ticket 40511.
+
+  o Minor features (fallbackdir):
+    - Regenerate fallback directories generated on February 04, 2022.
+
+  o Minor features (geoip data):
+    - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as
+      retrieved on 2022/02/04.
+
+  o Minor bugfix (logging):
+    - Update a log notice dead URL to a working one. Fixes bug 40544;
+      bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfix (relay):
+    - Remove the HSDir and HSIntro onion service v2 protocol versions so
+      relay stop advertising that they support them. Fixes bug 40509;
+      bugfix on 0.3.5.17.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
+    - Fix a compilation error when trying to build Tor with a compiler
+      that does not support expanding statitically initialized const
+      values in macro's. Fixes bug 40410; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha
+    - Fix our configuration logic to detect whether we had OpenSSL 3:
+      previously, our logic was reversed. This has no other effect than
+      to change whether we suppress deprecated API warnings. Fixes bug
+      40429; bugfix on 0.3.5.13.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (MetricsPort, Prometheus):
+    - Add double quotes to the label values of the onion service
+      metrics. Fixes bug 40552; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (relay):
+    - Reject IPv6-only DirPorts. Our reachability self-test forces
+      DirPorts to be IPv4, but our configuration parser allowed them to
+      be IPv6-only, which led to an assertion failure. Fixes bug 40494;
+      bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.

 Changes in version 0.4.5.11 - 2021-10-26
   The major change in this version is that v2 onion services are now
   disabled at the client, service, and relay: any Tor nodes running this
