- Changes in version 0.2.9.15 - 2018-03-03
+Changes in version 0.2.9.16 - 2018-07-13
+  Tor 0.2.9.16 moves to a new bridge authority, meaning people running
+  bridge relays should upgrade. We also take this opportunity to backport
+  other minor fixes.
+
+  o Directory authority changes:
+    - The "Bifroest" bridge authority has been retired; the new bridge
+      authority is "Serge", and it is operated by George from the
+      TorBSD project. Closes ticket 26771.
+
+  o Directory authority changes (backport from 0.3.3.7):
+    - Add an IPv6 address for the "dannenberg" directory authority.
+      Closes ticket 26343.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (directory authorities, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
+    - When directory authorities read a zero-byte bandwidth file, they
+      would previously log a warning with the contents of an
+      uninitialised buffer. They now log a warning about the empty file
+      instead. Fixes bug 26007; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor features (sandbox, backport from 0.3.3.4-alpha):
+    - Explicitly permit the poll() system call when the Linux
+      seccomp2-based sandbox is enabled: apparently, some versions of
+      libc use poll() when calling getpwnam(). Closes ticket 25313.
+
+  o Minor features (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
+    - Our .travis.yml configuration now includes support for testing the
+      results of "make distcheck". (It's not uncommon for "make check"
+      to pass but "make distcheck" to fail.) Closes ticket 25814.
+    - Our Travis CI configuration now integrates with the Coveralls
+      coverage analysis tool. Closes ticket 25818.
+
+  o Minor features (compilation, backport from 0.3.4.4-rc):
+    - When building Tor, prefer to use Python 3 over Python 2, and more
+      recent (contemplated) versions over older ones. Closes
+      ticket 26372.
+
+  o Minor features (geoip):
+    - Update geoip and geoip6 to the July 3 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
+      Country database. Closes ticket 26674.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (correctness, client, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
+    - Upon receiving a malformed connected cell, stop processing the
+      cell immediately. Previously we would mark the connection for
+      close, but continue processing the cell as if the connection were
+      open. Fixes bug 26072; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
+    - Allow the nanosleep() system call, which glibc uses to implement
+      sleep() and usleep(). Fixes bug 24969; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (testing, compatibility, backport from 0.3.4.4-rc):
+    - When running the ntor_ref.py test, make sure only to pass strings
+      (rather than "bytes" objects) to the Python subprocess module.
+      Python 3 on Windows seems to require this. Fixes bug 26535; bugfix
+      on 0.2.5.5-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compatibility, openssl, backport from 0.3.4.2-alpha):
+    - Work around a change in OpenSSL 1.1.1 where return values that
+      would previously indicate "no password" now indicate an empty
+      password. Without this workaround, Tor instances running with
+      OpenSSL 1.1.1 would accept descriptors that other Tor instances
+      would reject. Fixes bug 26116; bugfix on 0.2.5.16.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.4.4-rc):
+    - Fix a compilation warning on some versions of GCC when building
+      code that calls routerinfo_get_my_routerinfo() twice, assuming
+      that the second call will succeed if the first one did. Fixes bug
+      26269; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (client, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
+    - Don't consider Tor running as a client if the ControlPort is open,
+      but no actual client ports are open. Fixes bug 26062; bugfix
+      on 0.2.9.4-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (hardening, backport from 0.3.4.2-alpha):
+    - Prevent a possible out-of-bounds smartlist read in
+      protover_compute_vote(). Fixes bug 26196; bugfix on 0.2.9.4-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (C correctness, backport from 0.3.3.4-alpha):
+    - Fix a very unlikely (impossible, we believe) null pointer
+      dereference. Fixes bug 25629; bugfix on 0.2.9.15. Found by
+      Coverity; this is CID 1430932.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (memory, correctness, backport from 0.3.4.4-rc):
+    - Fix a number of small memory leaks identified by coverity. Fixes
+      bug 26467; bugfix on numerous Tor versions.
+
+  o Code simplification and refactoring (backport from 0.3.3.5-rc):
+    - Move the list of default directory authorities to its own file.
+      Closes ticket 24854. Patch by "beastr0".
