+ o Major bugfixes (Exit nodes):
+ - Fix an issue causing high-bandwidth exit nodes to fail a majority
+ or all of their DNS requests, making them basically unsuitable for
+ regular usage in Tor circuits. The problem is related to
+ libevent's DNS handling, but we can work around it in Tor. Fixes
+ bugs 21394 and 18580; bugfix on 0.1.2.2-alpha which introduced
+ eventdns. Credit goes to Dhalgren for identifying and finding a
+ workaround to this bug and to gamambel, arthuredelstein and
+ arma in helping to track it down and analyze it.
