+  o Major features (embedding):
+    - Tor now has support for restarting in the same process.
+      Controllers that run Tor using the "tor_api.h" interface can now

+      we have fixed the crash bugs that prevented it from working at all
+      before, but many bugs probably remain. Implements ticket 24581.
