+ o Major features:
+ - You can now configure Tor so that streams from different
+ applications are isolated on different circuits, to prevent an
+ attacker who sees your streams leaving an exit node from linking
+ your sessions to one another. To do this, choose some way to
+ distinguish the applications -- have them connect to different
+ SocksPorts, or have one of them use SOCKS4 while the other uses
+ SOCKS5, or have them pass different authentication strings to
+ the SOCKS proxy. Then use the new SocksPort syntax to configure
+ the degree of isolation you need. This implements Proposal 171.
+
+ o Minor features:
+ - There's a new syntax for specifying multiple client ports (such as
+ SOCKSPort, TransPort, DNSPort, NATDPort): you can now just declare
+ multiple ...Port entries with full addr:port syntax on each.
+ The old ...ListenAddress format is still supported, but you can't
+ mix it with the new SOCKSPort syntax.
+
+ o Code simplifications and refactoring:
+ - Rewrote the listener-selection logic so that parsing which ports
+ we want to listen on is now separate form binding to the ports
+ we want.
