+Changes in version 0.2.3.4-alpha - 2011-09-??
+  o Major bugfixes:
+    - Avoid an assertion failure when reloading a configuration with
+      TrackExitHosts changes. Found and fixed by 'laruldan'. Fixes bug
+      3923; bugfix on 0.2.2.25-alpha.
+
+  o Major features:
+    - Relays now try regenerating and uploading their descriptor more
+      frequently if they are not listed in the consensus, or if the
+      version of their descriptor listed in the consensus is too
+      old. This fix should prevent situations where a server declines
+      to re-publish itself because it has done so too recently, even
+      though the authorities decided not to list its recent-enough
+      descriptor. Fix for bug 3327.
+
+  o Minor features (security):
+    - Check for replays of the public-key encrypted portion of an
+      INTRODUCE1 cell, in addition to the current check for replays of
+      the g^x value. This prevents a possible class of active attacks
+      by an attacker who controls both an introduction point and a
+      rendezvous point, and who uses the malleability of AES-CTR to
+      alter the encrypted g^x portion of the INTRODUCE1 cell. We think
+      that these attacks is infeasible (requiring the attacker to send
+      on the order of zettabytes of altered cells in a short interval),
+      but we'd rather block them off in case there are any classes of
+      this attack that we missed. Reported by Willem Pinckaers.
+
+  o Minor features:
+    - Add a VoteOnHidServDirectoriesV2 configuration option to allow
+      directory authorities to abstain from voting on assignment of
+      the HSDir consensus flag. Related to bug 2649.
+    - Relays now include a reason for regenerating their descriptors
+      an HTTP header when uploading to the authorities. This will
+      make it easier to debug descriptor-upload issues in the future.
+    - When starting as root and then changing our UID via the User
+      control option, if we are running with ControlSocket, make sure
+      that the ControlSocket is owned by the same account that Tor will
+      run under. Implements ticket 3421; fix by Jérémy Bobbio.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes:
+    - Change the default required uptime for a relay to be accepted as
+      a HSDir from 24 hours to 25 hours. Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha;
+      fixes bug 2649.
+    - Abort if tor_vasprintf fails in connection_printf_to_buf (a
+      utility function used in the control-port code). This shouldn't
+      ever happen unless Tor is completely out of memory, but if it
+      did happen and Tor somehow recovered from it, Tor could have
+      sent a log message to a control port in the middle of a reply to
+      a controller command. Fixes part of bug 3428.
+    - Make 'FetchUselessDescriptors' cause all descriptor types and
+      all consensus types to get fetched. Fixes bug 3851; bugfix on
+      0.2.3.1-alpha.
+
+  o Build fixes:
+    - Clean up some code issues that prevented Tor from building on older
+      BSDs. Fixes bug 3894; reported by "grarpamp".
+    - Search for a platform-specific version of "ar" when cross-compiling.
+      Should fix builds on iOS. Found by Marco Bonetti.
+
+  o Code refactoring:
+    - Make a new "entry connection" struct as an internal subtype of "edge
+      connection", to simplify the code and make exit connections smaller.

 Changes in version 0.2.3.3-alpha - 2011-09-01
   Tor 0.2.3.3-alpha adds a new "stream isolation" feature to improve Tor's
   security, and provides client-side support for the microdescriptor
