-  o Build changes
-    - Our build system requires automake 1.6 or later to create the
-      Makefile.in files.  Previously, you could have used 1.4.
-      This only affects developers and people building Tor from git;
-      people who build Tor from the source distribution without changing
-      the Makefile.am files should be fine.

-  o Minor build changes:
-    - Use autoreconf to launch autoconf, automake, etc from autogen.sh.
-      This is more robust against some of the failure modes associated
-      with running the autotools chain on its own.

- o Major features
-   - Tor can now optionally build with the "bufferevents" buffered IO
-     backend provided by Libevent, when building with Libevent 2.0.7-rc
-     or later.  To use this feature, make sure you have the latest possible
-     version of Libevent, and run autoconf with the --enable-bufferevents
-     flag.  Using this feature will make our networking code more flexible,
-     lets us stack layers on each other, and let us use more efficient
-     zero-copy transports where available.
-   - As an experimental feature, when using the "bufferevents" buffered
-     IO backend, Tor can try to use Windows's IOCP networking API.  This
-     is off by default.  To turn it on, add "DisableIOCP 0" to your torrc.

-  o Major features:
-    - Allow EntryNodes to include country codes like {de} or IP addresses
-      or network masks. Previously we had disallowed these options
-      because we didn't have an efficient way to keep the list up to
-      date. Resolves bug 1982.

-  o Minor features:
-    - Ordinarily, Tor does not count traffic from private addresses
-      (like 127.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.1) when calculating rate limits or

-  o Code refactorings
-    - Unified our node-listing and selecting logic.  We had at least
-      two major ways to look at the question of "which Tor servers do
-      we know about": our list of router descriptors, and the current
-      consensus.  We're adding a third in microdescriptors.  Having
-      so many systems without an abstraction layer over them was
-      hurting the codebase.  Now, we have a new "node_t" abstraction
-      that presents a consistent interface to a client's view of
-      a Tor node, and holds (nearly) all of the mutable state
-      formerly in routerinfo_t and routerstatus_t.

-  o Major features:
-    - Tor now has the ability to wrangle NAT devices like a good network cowbot
-      with the tor-fw-helper tool. The tor-fw-helper tool supports Apple's
-      NAT-PMP protocol and the UPnP standard for TCP port mapping. This
-      optional tool may be enabled at compile time by configuring with
-      '--enable-upnp' or '--enable-natpmp' or with both. This tool may be
-      called by hand or by Tor.  By configuring the PortForwarding option, Tor
-      will launch the helper on a regular basis to ensure that the NAT mapping
-      is regularly updated.  Additionally, a user may also specify an
-      alternative helper by using the PortForwardingHelper option. The helper
-      may be specified by name or with the full path to the helper. The default
-      helper is named 'tor-fw-helper' and any alternative helper must take the
-      tor-fw-helper-spec.txt into account.
