INSERT SUMMARY BLURP
Changes in version 0.4.7.9 - 2022-08-11
This version contains several major fixes aimed at reducing memory pressure on
relays and possible side-channel. It also contains a major bugfix related to
congestion control also aimed at reducing memory pressure on relays.
Finally, there is last one major bugfix related to Vanguard L2 layer node
selection.
We strongly recommend to upgrade to this version especially for Exit relays
in order to help the network defend against this ongoing DDoS.
