+Changes in version 0.4.6.9 - 2021-12-15
+ This version fixes several bugs from earlier versions of Tor. One important
+ piece is the removal of DNS timeout metric from the overload general signal.
+ See below for more details.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (relay, overload):
+ - Don't make Tor DNS timeout trigger an overload general state.
+ These timeouts are different from DNS server timeout. They have to
+ be seen as timeout related to UX and not because of a network
+ problem. Fixes bug 40527; bugfix on 0.4.6.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor feature (reproducible build):
+ - The repository can now build reproducible tarballs which adds the
+ build command "make dist-reprod" for that purpose. Closes
+ ticket 26299.
+
+ o Minor features (compilation):
+ - Give an error message if trying to build with a version of
+ LibreSSL known not to work with Tor. (There's an incompatibility
+ with LibreSSL versions 3.2.1 through 3.4.0 inclusive because of
+ their incompatibility with OpenSSL 1.1.1's TLSv1.3 APIs.) Closes
+ ticket 40511.
+
+ o Minor features (fallbackdir):
+ - Regenerate fallback directories generated on December 15, 2021.
+
+ o Minor features (geoip data):
+ - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as
+ retrieved on 2021/12/15.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
+ - Fix our configuration logic to detect whether we had OpenSSL 3:
+ previously, our logic was reversed. This has no other effect than
+ to change whether we suppress deprecated API warnings. Fixes bug
+ 40429; bugfix on 0.3.5.13.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (relay):
+ - Reject IPv6-only DirPorts. Our reachability self-test forces
+ DirPorts to be IPv4, but our configuration parser allowed them to
+ be IPv6-only, which led to an assertion failure. Fixes bug 40494;
+ bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Documentation (man, relay):
+ - Missing "OverloadStatistics" in tor.1 manpage. Fixes bug 40504;
+ bugfix on 0.4.6.1-alpha.

Changes in version 0.4.6.8 - 2021-10-26
This version fixes several bugs from earlier versions of Tor. One
highlight is a fix on how we track DNS timeouts to report general
