+ o Minor bug fixes:
+ - If any directory created by Tor is marked as group readable, the
+ filesystem group is allowed to be either the default GID or the root
+ user. Allowing root to read the DataDirectory prevents the need for
+ CAP_READ_SEARCH when using systemd's CapabilityBoundingSet, or
+ dac_read_search when using SELinux.
