+ o Major bugfixes (client):
+ - Stop caching TCP connect failures to relays/bridges when we
+ initiated the connection as a client. Now we only cache connect
+ failures as a relay or bridge when we initiated them because
+ of an EXTEND request. Declining to re-attempt the client-based
+ connections could cause problems when we lose connectivity and
+ try to reconnect. Fixes bug 40499; bugfix on 0.3.3.4-alpha.
