+Changes in version 0.4.6.2-alpha - 2021-04-15
+ BLURB HERE
+
+ 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.
+
+ o Minor features (command line):
+ - Add long format name --torrc-file for 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 (geoip data):
+ - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as
+ retrieved on 2021/04/13.
+
+ o Minor features (logging):
+ - Edit heartbeat log messages so that more of them begin with the
+ string "Heartbeat: ". Closes ticket 40322; patch
+ from 'cypherpunks'.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (bridge, pluggable transport):
+ - Fix a regression that prevented to configure a Bridge line without
+ a fingerprint (which is a normal use case). Fixes bug 40360;
+ bugfix on 0.4.5.4-rc.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (channel, DoS):
+ - Fix a possible non fatal assertion BUG() due to a too early free
+ of a string when noting down the client connection for the DoS
+ defenses subsystem. Fixes bug 40345; bugfix on 0.4.3.4-rc
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
+ - Fix a compilation warning about unused functions when building
+ with a libc that lacks the GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC constant. Fixes bug
+ 40354; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. Patch by Daniel Pinto.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (configuration):
+ - Fix globbing directories on all platforms when using %include
+ options in configuration files. This patch also fixes compilation
+ on musl libc based systems. Fixes bug 40141; bugfix
+ on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (relay):
+ - Move the "overload-general" line from extrainfo to the server
+ descriptor. Fixes bug 40364; bugfix on 0.4.6.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (testing, BSD):
+ - Fix glob processing errors when globs expand to invalid paths on
+ BSD systems. Fixes bug 40318; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha. Patch by
+ Daniel Pinto.
+
+ o Documentation (manual):
+ - Move the ServerTransport* options to the SERVER OPTIONS` section.
+ Closes issue 40331.
+ - The HiddenServiceStatistics option also applies to bridges so
+ properly indicate that in the tor.1 man page. Closes ticket 40346.
+ - Move the description of "BridgeRecordUsageByCountry" to the
+ section "STATISTICS OPTIONS". Closes ticket 40323.
