+Changes in version 0.4.2.6 - 2020-01-30
+ This is the second stable release in the 0.4.2.x series. It backports
+ several bugfixes from 0.4.3.1-alpha, including some that had affected
+ the Linux seccomp2 sandbox or Windows services. If you're running with
+ one of those configurations, you'll probably want to upgrade;
+ otherwise, you should be fine with 0.4.2.5.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (linux seccomp sandbox, backport from 0.4.3.1-alpha):
+ - Correct how we use libseccomp. Particularly, stop assuming that
+ rules are applied in a particular order or that more rules are
+ processed after the first match. Neither is the case! In
+ libseccomp <2.4.0 this lead to some rules having no effect.
+ libseccomp 2.4.0 changed how rules are generated, leading to a
+ different ordering, which in turn led to a fatal crash during
+ startup. Fixes bug 29819; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha. Patch by
+ Peter Gerber.
+ - Fix crash when reloading logging configuration while the
+ experimental sandbox is enabled. Fixes bug 32841; bugfix on
+ 0.4.1.7. Patch by Peter Gerber.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (correctness checks, backport from 0.4.3.1-alpha):
+ - Use GCC/Clang's printf-checking feature to make sure that
+ tor_assertf() arguments are correctly typed. Fixes bug 32765;
+ bugfix on 0.4.1.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (logging, crash, backport from 0.4.3.1-alpha):
+ - Avoid a possible crash when trying to log a (fatal) assertion
+ failure about mismatched magic numbers in configuration objects.
+ Fixes bug 32771; bugfix on 0.4.2.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (testing, backport from 0.4.3.1-alpha):
+ - When TOR_DISABLE_PRACTRACKER is set, do not apply it to the
+ test_practracker.sh script. Doing so caused a test failure. Fixes
+ bug 32705; bugfix on 0.4.2.1-alpha.
+ - When TOR_DISABLE_PRACTRACKER is set, log a notice to stderr when
+ skipping practracker checks. Fixes bug 32705; bugfix
+ on 0.4.2.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (windows service, backport from 0.4.3.1-alpha):
+ - Initialize the publish/subscribe system when running as a windows
+ service. Fixes bug 32778; bugfix on 0.4.1.1-alpha.
+
+ o Testing (backport from 0.4.3.1-alpha):
+ - Turn off Tor's Sandbox in Chutney jobs, and run those jobs on
+ Ubuntu Bionic. Turning off the Sandbox is a work-around, until we
+ fix the sandbox errors in 32722. Closes ticket 32240.
+ - Re-enable the Travis CI macOS Chutney build, but don't let it
+ prevent the Travis job from finishing. (The Travis macOS jobs are
+ slow, so we don't want to have it delay the whole CI process.)
+ Closes ticket 32629.
+
+ o Testing (continuous integration, backport from 0.4.3.1-alpha):
+ - Use zstd in our Travis Linux builds. Closes ticket 32242.
+
+
+Changes in version 0.4.1.8 - 2020-01-30
+ This release backports several bugfixes from later release series,
+ including some that had affected the Linux seccomp2 sandbox or Windows
+ services. If you're running with one of those configurations, you'll
+ probably want to upgrade; otherwise, you should be fine with your
+ current version of 0.4.1.x.

+ 0.4.1.7. Patch by Peter Gerber.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (crash, backport form 0.4.2.4-rc):
+ - When running Tor with an option like --verify-config or
+ --dump-config that does not start the event loop, avoid crashing
+ if we try to exit early because of an error. Fixes bug 32407;
+ bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (windows service, backport from 0.4.3.1-alpha):
+ - Initialize the publish/subscribe system when running as a windows
