+ o Minor features:
+ - When an HTTPS proxy reports "403 Forbidden", we now explain
+ what it means rather than calling it an unexpected status code.
+ Closes bug 2503. Patch from "mikey".

+ o Security fixes
+ - Replace all potentially sensitive memory comparison operations
+ with versions whose runtime does not depend on the data being
+ compared. This will help resist a class of attacks where an
+ adversary can use variations in timing information to learn
+ sensitive data. Fix for one case of bug 3122. (Safe memcmp
+ implementation by Robert Ransom based partially on code by DJB.)

+ o Minor features
+ - The options SocksPort, ControlPort, and so on now all accept an
+ optional value "auto" that opens a socket on an OS-selected port.
+ o Minor features (controller)
+ - GETINFO net/listeners/(type) now returns a list of the addresses
+ and ports that are bound for listeners for a given connection
+ type. This is useful for if the user has selected SocksPort
+ "auto", and you need to know which port got chosen.
+ - There is a ControlPortWriteToFile option that tells Tor to write
+ its actual control port or ports to a chosen file. If the option
+ ControlPortFileGroupReadable is set, the file is created as
+ group-readable.

+ o Minor bugfixes
+ - Avoid a bug that would keep us from replacing a microdescriptor
+ cache on Windows. (We would try to replace the file while still
+ holding it open. That's fine on Unix, but Windows doesn't let us
+ do that.) Bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha; bug found by wanoskarnet.
