+ It adds several new security features, including improved DoS
+ resistance for relays, new compiler hardening options, and a
+ system-call sandbox for hardened installations on Linux (requires
+ seccomp2). The controller protocol has several new features, resolving
+ IPv6 addresses should work better than before, and relays should be a
+ little more CPU-efficient. We've added support for more (Open,Free)BSD
+ transparent proxy types. We've improved the build system and testing
+ intrastructure to allow unit testing of more parts of the Tor
+ codebase. Finally, we've addressed several nagging pluggable transport
+ usability issues, and included numerous other small bugfixes and
+ features mentioned below.
