+ o Security fixes:
+
+ - Try to leak less information about what relays a client is
+ choosing to a side-channel attacker. Previously, a Tor client
+ would stop iterating through the list of available relays as
+ soon as it had chosen one, thus leaking information about which
+ relays it picked for a circuit to a timing attack. (Tor is
+ likely to still leak information about which relays it has
+ chosen for a circuit to other processes on the same computer,
+ through e.g. which cache lines it loads while building the
+ circuit.)
