+Changes in version 0.4.6.7 - 2021-08-16
+  This version fixes several bugs from earlier versions of Tor, including one
+  that could lead to a denial-of-service attack. Everyone running an earlier
+  version, whether as a client, a relay, or an onion service, should upgrade
+  to Tor 0.3.5.16, 0.4.5.10, or 0.4.6.7.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (cryptography, security):
+    - Resolve an assertion failure caused by a behavior mismatch between our
+      batch-signature verification code and our single-signature verification
+      code. This assertion failure could be triggered remotely, leading to a
+      denial of service attack. We fix this issue by disabling batch
+      verification. Fixes bug 40078; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. This issue is
+      also tracked as TROVE-2021-007 and CVE-2021-38385. Found by Henry de
+      Valence.
+
+  o Minor feature (fallbackdir):
+    - Regenerate fallback directories list. Close ticket 40447.
+
+  o Minor features (geoip data):
+    - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database,
+      as retrieved on 2021/08/12.
+
+  o Minor bugfix (crypto):
+    - Disable the unused batch verification feature of ed25519-donna. Fixes
+      bug 40078; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. Found by Henry de Valence.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (onion service):
+    - Send back the extended SOCKS error 0xF6 (Onion Service Invalid Address)
+      for a v2 onion address. Fixes bug 40421; bugfix on 0.4.6.2-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (relay):
+    - Reduce the compression level for data streaming from HIGH to LOW in
+      order to reduce CPU load on the directory relays. Fixes bug 40301;
+      bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (timekeeping):
+    - Calculate the time of day correctly on systems where the time_t
+      type includes leap seconds. (This is not the case on most
+      operating systems, but on those where it occurs, our tor_timegm
+      function did not correctly invert the system's gmtime function,
+      which could result in assertion failures when calculating
+      voting schedules.)  Fixes bug 40383; bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
+
+

+
+  o Minor features (testing):
+    - Enable the deterministic RNG for unit tests that covers the address set
+      bloomfilter-based API's. Fixes bug 40419; bugfix on 0.3.3.2-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfix (crypto):
+    - Disable the unused batch verification feature of ed25519-donna. Fixes
+      bug 40078; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. Found by Henry de Valence.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (relay, backport from 0.4.6.x):
+    - Reduce the compression level for data streaming from HIGH to LOW. Fixes
+      bug 40301; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.

+      voting schedules.)  Fixes bug 40383; bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (warnings, portability, backport from 0.4.6.x):
+    - Suppress a strict-prototype warning when building with some versions
+      of NSS.  Fixes bug 40409; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
