+ o Security fixes:
+
+ - Try to leak less information about what relays a client is
+ choosing to a side-channel attacker. Previously, a Tor client
+ would stop iterating through the list of available relays as
+ soon as it had chosen one, thus finishing a little earlier
+ when it picked a router earlier in the list. If an attacker
+ can recover this timing information (nontrivial but not
+ proven to be impossible), they could learn some coarse-
+ grained information about which relays a client was picking
+ (middle nodes in particular are likelier to be affected than
+ exits). The timing attack might be mitigated by other factors
+ (see bug #6537 for some discussion), but it's best not to
+ take chances. Fixes bug 6537; bugfix on 0.0.8rc1.
