+Changes in version 0.4.6.2-alpha - 2021-04-15
+  BLURB HERE
+
+  o Minor features (client):
+    - Clients now check whether their streams are attempting to re-enter
+      the Tor network (i.e. to send Tor traffic over Tor), and they
+      close them preemptively if they think exit relays will refuse
+      them. See ticket 2667 for details. Close ticket 40271.
+
+  o Minor features (command line):
+    - Add long format name --torrc-file for command line option -f.
+      Closes ticket 40324. Patch by Daniel Pinto.
+
+  o Minor features (dormant mode):
+    - Add a new 'DormantTimeoutEnabled' option to allow coarse-grained
+      control over whether the client ever becomes dormant from
+      inactivity. Most people won't need this. Closes ticket 40228.
+
+  o Minor features (fallback directory):
+    - Renegerate the list to a new set of 200 relays acting as fallback
+      directories. Closes ticket 40265.
+
+  o Minor features (geoip data):
+    - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as
+      retrieved on 2021/04/13.
+
+  o Minor features (logging):
+    - Edit heartbeat log messages so that more of them begin with the
+      string "Heartbeat: ". Closes ticket 40322; patch
+      from 'cypherpunks'.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (bridge, pluggable transport):
+    - Fix a regression that prevented to configure a Bridge line without
+      a fingerprint (which is a normal use case). Fixes bug 40360;
+      bugfix on 0.4.5.4-rc.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (channel, DoS):
+    - Fix a possible non fatal assertion BUG() due to a too early free
+      of a string when noting down the client connection for the DoS
+      defenses subsystem. Fixes bug 40345; bugfix on 0.4.3.4-rc
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
+    - Fix a compilation warning about unused functions when building
+      with a libc that lacks the GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC constant. Fixes bug
+      40354; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. Patch by Daniel Pinto.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (configuration):
+    - Fix globbing directories on all platforms when using %include
+      options in configuration files. This patch also fixes compilation
+      on musl libc based systems. Fixes bug 40141; bugfix
+      on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (relay):
+    - Move the "overload-general" line from extrainfo to the server
+      descriptor. Fixes bug 40364; bugfix on 0.4.6.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (testing, BSD):
+    - Fix glob processing errors when globs expand to invalid paths on
+      BSD systems. Fixes bug 40318; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. Patch by
+      Daniel Pinto.
+
+  o Documentation (manual):
+    - Move the ServerTransport* options to the SERVER OPTIONS` section.
+      Closes issue 40331.
+    - The HiddenServiceStatistics option also applies to bridges so
+      properly indicate that in the tor.1 man page. Closes ticket 40346.
+    - Move the description of "BridgeRecordUsageByCountry" to the
+      section "STATISTICS OPTIONS". Closes ticket 40323.
