+ o Removed features:
+ - The PortForwarding and PortForwardingHelper features have been
+ removed. The reasoning is, given that implementations of NAT traversal
+ protocols within common consumer grade routers are frequently buggy, and
+ that the target audience for a NAT punching feature is a perhaps
+ less-technically-inclined relay operator, when the helper fails to setup
+ traversal the problems are usually deep, ugly, and very router specific,
+ making them horrendously impossible for technical support to reliable
+ assist with, and thus resulting in frustration all around. Unfortunately,
+ relay operators who would like to run relays behind NATs will need to
+ become more familiar with the port forwarding configurations on their
+ local router. Closes 25409.
