 Changes in version 0.4.6.2-alpha - 2021-04-15
-  BLURB HERE
+  Tor 0.4.6.2-alpha is the second alpha in its series. It fixes several
+  small bugs in previous releases, and solves other issues that had
+  enabled denial-of-service attacks and affected integration with
+  other tools.
 
   o Minor features (client):
     - Clients now check whether their streams are attempting to re-enter
-      the Tor network (i.e. to send Tor traffic over Tor), and they
-      close them preemptively if they think exit relays will refuse
-      them. See ticket 2667 for details. Close ticket 40271.
+      the Tor network (i.e. to send Tor traffic over Tor), and close
+      them preemptively if they think exit relays will refuse them for
+      this reason. See ticket 2667 for details. Close ticket 40271.
 
   o Minor features (command line):
-    - Add long format name --torrc-file for command line option -f.
-      Closes ticket 40324. Patch by Daniel Pinto.
+    - Add long format name "--torrc-file" equivalent to the existing
+      command-line option "-f". Closes ticket 40324. Patch by
+      Daniel Pinto.
 
   o Minor features (dormant mode):
     - Add a new 'DormantTimeoutEnabled' option to allow coarse-grained
       control over whether the client ever becomes dormant from
       inactivity. Most people won't need this. Closes ticket 40228.
 
-  o Minor features (fallback directory):
-    - Renegerate the list to a new set of 200 relays acting as fallback
-      directories. Closes ticket 40265.
+  o Minor features (fallback directory list):
+    - Renegerate the list of fallback directories to contain a new set
+      of 200 relays. Closes ticket 40265.
