-  o Minor features (development support):
-    - Developers can now generate a call-graph for Tor using the
-      "calltool" python program, which post-processes object dumps.  It
-      should work okay on many Linux and OSX platforms, and might work
-      elsewhere too.  To run this, install calltool from
-      https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/nickm/calltool.git and run
-      "make callgraph". Closes ticket 19307.

-  o Major features (next-generation onion services):
-    - Tor now supports the next-generation onion services protocol for clients
-      and services! As part of this release, the core of proposal 224 has been
-      implemented and is available for experimentation and testing by our
-      users. This newer version of onion services (v3) features various
-      improvements over the legacy system:
-        a) Better crypto (replaced SHA1/DH/RSA1024 with SHA3/ed25519/curve25519)
-        b) Improved directory protocol leaking less to directory servers.
-        c) Improved directory protocol with smaller surface for targeted attacks.
-        d) Better onion address security against impersonation.
-        e) More extensible introduction/rendezvous protocol.
-        f) A cleaner and more modular codebase.
-
-      Furthermore, as part of this update, onion addresses increase in length
-      and are now 56 characters long:
-         4acth47i6kxnvkewtm6q7ib2s3ufpo5sqbsnzjpbi7utijcltosqemad.onion
-
-      In the future, we will be releasing more options and features but we
-      first need a testing period, so that the current codebase matures and
-      becomes more robust. Here are some of the features we have planned:
-        1) Offline keys for onion services
-        2) Advanced client authorization for onion services
-        3) Improved guard algorithm for onion services
-        4) Next-gen onion service statistics
-
-      Please see our proposal for more details:
-        https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/224-rend-spec-ng.txt
-
-      The default version for onion services remains v2 (the legacy system)
-      until this new codebase gets tested and hardened.
-
-      Service operators who want to experiment with the new system can use the
-      'HiddenServiceVersion 3' torrc directive along with the regular onion
-      service configuration options.
-
-      We will publish a blog post about this new feature soon! Enjoy!

-  o Major feature (scheduler, channel):
-    - Introducing the KIST scheduler which stands for Kernel Informed Socket
-      Transport. It is only available on Linux systems. This comes from a
-      researched and published paper you can find here:
-
-      http://www.robgjansen.com/publications/kist-sec2014.pdf
-      https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.01044
-
-      This is also a major refactoring of the entire scheduler subsystem in
-      order for it to be more modular and thus much more easier to add more
-      scheduler type later. The current scheduler has been named "Vanilla" but
-      we favor KIST if available in this version.
-
-      A new torrc option has been added and named "Schedulers type1,type2,..."
-      which allows a user to select which scheduler type it wants tor to use.
-      It is also possible to change it at runtime. It is an ordered list by
-      priority. KIST might not be available on all platforms so there is a
-      fallback to "KISTLite" that uses the same mechanisms but without the
-      kernel support.
-
-      The current default values are: Schedulers KIST,KISTLite,Vanilla.
-
-      Closes ticket 12541.
