       might succeed. Similarly, if the last v2 fetch fails, we were
       failing the whole hidden service request even if a v0 fetch is
       still pending. Fixes bug 814. Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
+    - Avoid a bug where the FistFirstHopPK 0 option would keep Tor from
+      bootstrapping with tunneled directory connections.  Bugfix on
+      0.1.2.5-alpha.  Fixes bug 797.
 
   o Minor features:
     - Update to the "September 1 2008" ip-to-country file.

+When this option is disabled, Tor uses the public key step for the first
+hop of creating circuits. Skipping it is generally safe since we have
+already used TLS to authenticate the relay and to establish forward-secure
+keys. Turning this option off makes circuit building slower.

+Note that Tor will always use the public key step for the first hop if
+it's operating as a relay, and it will never use the public key step if
+it doesn't yet know the onion key of the first hop.
