> +Tor 0.2.4.18-rc is out
> +----------------------
>  
> +On Saturday, 16th of November Roger Dingledine released new version [XXX],
> +in fact the fourth release candidate for the Tor 0.2.4.x series.
> +As Roger puts it “It takes a variety of fixes from the 0.2.5.x branch 
> +to improve stability, performance, and better handling of edge cases.”
>  
> +According to Roger major feature of this release is:
>  
> +- Re-enabling TLS 1.1 and 1.2 when built with OpenSSL 1.0.1e or later [XXX].
> +
> +Major bugfixes:
> +
> +- No longer stop reading or writing on cpuworker connections when our rate 
> +  limiting buckets go empty. Now we should handle circuit handshake requests 
> +  more promptly [XXX].
> +- If we are unable to save a microdescriptor to the journal, do not drop 
> +  it from memory and then reattempt downloading it [XXX].
> +- Stop trying to bootstrap all our directory information from only our 
> +  first guard [XXX].
> +- The new channel code sometimes lost track of in-progress circuits,
> +  causing long-running clients to stop building new circuits. The
> +  fix is to always call circuit_n_chan_done(chan, 0) from channel_closed() [XXX].
> +
> +For minor features and bugfixes see full changelog [XXX] and please 
> +be sure to upgrade [XXX].

Who is the audience for this announcement? I have a hard time figuring
understanding why the major feature is even important. All the major
bugfixes are also quite technical as is, except maybe the 3rd one.

What is the added value in copy/pasting the changelog itself when people
who are technical enough can always go for it?

Is the link to the full changelog missing?
