   Below are the changes since Tor 0.3.1.7.
 
   o Major feature (scheduler, channel):
-    - Clients and relays now use new schedulers to decide which circuits
-      should deliver cells first. The first type is called "KIST"
-      ("Kernel Informed Socket Transport"), and is only available on
-      Linux-like systems: it uses feedback from the kernel to prevent
-      the kernel's TCP buffers from growing too full. The second new
-      scheduler type is called "KISTLite": it behaves the same as KIST,
-      but runs on systems without kernel support for inspecting TCP
-      implementation details. The old scheduler is still available,
-      under the name "Vanilla". To change the default scheduler
-      preference order, use the new "Schedulers" option. (The default
-      preference order is "KIST,KISTLite,Vanilla".)

       Matt Traudt implemented KIST, based on research by Rob Jansen,
       John Geddes, Christ Wacek, Micah Sherr, and Paul Syverson. For
