+Changes in version 0.2.0.25-rc - 2008-04-23
+  Tor 0.2.0.25-rc makes Tor work again on OS X and certain BSDs.
+
+  o Major bugfixes:
+    - Remember to initialize threading before initializing logging.
+      Otherwise, many BSD-family implementations will crash hard on
+      startup. Fixes bug 671. Bugfix on 0.2.0.24-rc.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes:
+    - Authorities correctly free policies on bad servers on
+      exit. Fixes bug 672. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x.
+
+
+Changes in version 0.2.0.24-rc - 2008-04-22
+  Tor 0.2.0.24-rc adds dizum (run by Alex de Joode) as the new sixth
+  v3 directory authority, makes relays with dynamic IP addresses and no
+  DirPort notice more quickly when their IP address changes, fixes a few
+  rare crashes and memory leaks, and fixes a few other miscellaneous bugs.
+
+  o New directory authorities:
+    - Take lefkada out of the list of v3 directory authorities, since
+      it has been down for months.
+    - Set up dizum (run by Alex de Joode) as the new sixth v3 directory
+      authority.
+
+  o Major bugfixes:
+    - Detect address changes more quickly on non-directory mirror
+      relays. Bugfix on 0.2.0.18-alpha; fixes bug 652.
+
+  o Minor features (security):
+    - Reject requests for reverse-dns lookup of names that are in
+      a private address space. Patch from lodger.
+    - Non-exit relays no longer allow DNS requests. Fixes bug 619. Patch
+      from lodger.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (crashes):
+    - Avoid a rare assert that can trigger when Tor doesn't have much
+      directory information yet and it tries to fetch a v2 hidden
+      service descriptor. Fixes bug 651, reported by nwf.
+    - Initialize log mutex before initializing dmalloc. Otherwise,
+      running with dmalloc would crash. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x-alpha.
+    - Use recursive pthread mutexes in order to avoid deadlock when
+      logging debug-level messages to a controller. Bug spotted by nwf,
+      bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (resource management):
+    - Keep address policies from leaking memory: start their refcount
+      at 1, not 2. Bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha.
+    - Free authority certificates on exit, so they don't look like memory
+      leaks. Bugfix on 0.2.0.19-alpha.
+    - Free static hashtables for policy maps and for TLS connections on
+      shutdown, so they don't look like memory leaks. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x.
+    - Avoid allocating extra space when computing consensuses on 64-bit
+      platforms. Bug spotted by aakova.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (misc):
+    - Do not read the configuration file when we've only been told to
+      generate a password hash. Fixes bug 643. Bugfix on 0.0.9pre5. Fix
+      based on patch from Sebastian Hahn.
+    - Exit relays that are used as a client can now reach themselves
+      using the .exit notation, rather than just launching an infinite
+      pile of circuits. Fixes bug 641. Reported by Sebastian Hahn.
+    - When attempting to open a logfile fails, tell us why.
+    - Fix a dumb bug that was preventing us from knowing that we should
+      preemptively build circuits to handle expected directory requests.
+      Fixes bug 660. Bugfix on 0.1.2.x.
+    - Warn less verbosely about clock skew from netinfo cells from
+      untrusted sources. Fixes bug 663.
+    - Make controller stream events for DNS requests more consistent,
+      by adding "new stream" events for DNS requests, and removing
+      spurious "stream closed" events" for cached reverse resolves.
+      Patch from mwenge. Fixes bug 646.
+    - Correctly notify one-hop connections when a circuit build has
+      failed. Possible fix for bug 669. Found by lodger.
