+Changes in version 0.4.8.21 - 2025-11-17
+ This release is a continuation of the previous one and addresses additional
+ Conflux-related issues identified through further testing and feedback from
+ relay operators. We strongly recommend upgrading as soon as possible.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (conflux, exit):
+ - When dequeuing out-of-order conflux cells, the circuit could be
+ closed in between two dequeues, which could lead to mishandling
+ a NULL pointer. Fixes bug 41162; bugfix on 0.4.8.4.
+
+ o Minor feature (compiler flag):
+ - Add -mbranch-protection=standard for arm64.
+
+ o Minor features (fallbackdir):
+ - Regenerate fallback directories generated on November 17, 2025.
+
+ o Minor features (geoip data):
+ - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as
+ retrieved on 2025/11/17.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (bridges, pluggable transport):
+ - Fix a bug causing the initial tor process to hang instead of
+ exiting with RunAsDaemon, when pluggable transports are used.
+ Fixes bug 41088; bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha.
+
+
+Changes in version 0.4.8.20 - 2025-11-10
+ This release fixes several bugs related to Conflux edge cases as well as
+ adding a new hardening compiler flag if supported.
+
+ o Minor feature (compiler flag):
+ - Add -fcf-protection=full if supported by the compiler.
+ Implements ticket 41139.
+
+ o Minor features (fallbackdir):
+ - Regenerate fallback directories generated on November 10, 2025.
+
+ o Minor features (geoip data):
+ - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as
+ retrieved on 2025/11/10.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (conflux fragile asserts):
+ - Fix the root cause of some conflux fragile asserts when a control
+ port listener is attached. Fixes bug 41037; bugfix on 0.4.8.16.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (conflux, relay):
+ - Fix a series of conflux edge cases about sequence number
+ arithmetic and OOM handler kicking in under heavy memory pressure.
+ Fixes bug 41155; bugfix on 0.4.8.4.
+
+
+Changes in version 0.4.8.19 - 2025-10-06
+ This release provides major bugfixes for a LibreSSL issue and a flow control
+ C-tor specific problem (not protocol). We strongly recommend you upgrade as
+ soon as possible.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (client, TLS):
+ - Fix some clients not being able to connect to LibreSSL relays.
+ Fixes bug 41134; bugfix on 0.4.8.17.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (stream flow control performance):
+ - Use a 5 ms grace period to allow an edge connection to flush its
+ stream data to the socket before sending an XOFF. This
+ significantly reduces the number of XON/XOFF messages sent when
+ (1) the application is reading stream data at a fast rate, and (2)
+ conflux is enabled. Fixes part of bug 41130; bugfix on 0.4.7.2-alpha.
+
+ o Minor features (fallbackdir):
+ - Regenerate fallback directories generated on October 06, 2025.
+
+ o Minor features (geoip data):
+ - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as
+ retrieved on 2025/10/06.
+
+ o Minor bugfix (process):
+ - Avoid closing all possible FDs when spawning a process (PT). On
+ some systems, this could lead to 3+ minutes hang. Fixes bug 40990;
+ bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.

+ This is a minor release with a major onion service directory cache (HSDir)
+ bug fix. A series of minor bugfixes as well. As always, we strongly recommend
+ to upgrade as soon as possible.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (onion service directory cache):
+ - Preserve the download counter of an onion service descriptor

+ don't get pruned if there is memory pressure soon after update.
+ Additionally, create a separate torrc option MaxHSDirCacheBytes
+ that defaults to the former 20% of MaxMemInQueues threshold, but
+ can be controlled by relay operators under DoS. Also enforce this

+
+ o Minor feature (padding, logging):
+ - Reduce the amount of messages being logged related to channel
+ padding timeout when log level is "notice".
