+  Yet another OpenSSL security patch broke its compatibility with Tor:
+  Tor 0.2.1.27 makes relays work with openssl 0.9.8p and 1.0.0.b. We
+  also took this opportunity to fix several crash bugs, integrate a new
+  directory authority, and update the bundled GeoIP database.

       No longer set the tlsext_host_name extension on server SSL objects;
       but continue to set it on client SSL objects. Our goal in setting
       it was to imitate a browser, not a vhosting server. Fixes bug 2204;

 Changes in version 0.2.1.26 - 2010-05-02
+  Tor 0.2.1.26 addresses the recent connection and memory overload
+  problems we've been seeing on relays, especially relays with their
+  DirPort open. If your relay has been crashing, or you turned it off
+  because it used too many resources, give this release a try.
+
+  This release also fixes yet another instance of broken OpenSSL libraries
+  that was causing some relays to drop out of the consensus.

   o Major bugfixes:
     - Teach relays to defend themselves from connection overload. Relays
       now close idle circuits early if it looks like they were intended
