 Changes in version 0.2.4.12-alpha - 2013-04-18
+  Tor 0.2.4.12-alpha moves Tor forward on several fronts: it starts the
+  process for lengthening the guard rotation period, makes directory
+  authority opinions in the consensus a bit less gameable, makes socks5
+  username/password circuit isolation actually work, and fixes a wide
+  variety of other issues.
