+o Major bugfixes (performance, load balancing):
+
+Changes in version 0.3.3.5-rc - 2018-04-14
+  BLURB
+
+  - Directory authorities no longer vote in favor of the Guard flag for
+  relays that don't advertise directory support. Starting in Tor
+  0.3.0.1-alpha, Tor clients have been avoiding using such relays in the
+  Guard position, leading to increasingly broken load balancing for the
+  5%-or-so of Guards that don't advertise directory support. Fixes bug
+  22310; bugfix on 0.3.0.6.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (protover, voting):
+    - Revise Rust implementation of protover to use a more memory-
+      efficient voting algorithm and corresponding data structures, thus
+      avoiding a potential (but small impact) DoS attack where specially
+      crafted protocol strings would expand to several potential
+      megabytes in memory. In the process, several portions of code were
+      revised to be methods on new, custom types, rather than functions
+      taking interchangeable types, thus increasing type safety of the
+      module. Custom error types and handling were added as well, in
+      order to facilitate better error dismissal/handling in outside
+      crates and avoid mistakenly passing an internal error string to C
+      over the FFI boundary. Many tests were added, and some previous
+      differences between the C and Rust implementations have been
+      remedied. Fixes bug 24031; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor feature (continuous integration):
+    - Update the Travis CI configuration to use the stable Rust channel,
+      now that we have decided to require that. Closes ticket 25714.
+
+  o Minor features (config options):
+    - Change the way the default value for MaxMemInQueues is calculated.
+      We now use 0.4 * RAM if the system have 8 GB RAM or more, otherwise
+      we use the former value of 0.75 * RAM. Closes ticket 24782.
+
+  o Minor features (geoip):
+    - Update geoip and geoip6 to the April 3 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
+      Country database. Closes ticket 25718.
+
+  o Minor bugfix (Exit node DNS retries):
+    - Re-attempt timed-out DNS queries 3 times before failure, since our
+      timeout is 5 seconds for them, but clients wait 10-15. Also allow
+      slightly more timeouts per resolver before giving up on it in the
+      case where an exit has multiple resolvers configured. Fixes bug
+      21394; bugfix on 0.3.1.9.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (client):
+    - When using a listed relay as a bridge, and also using
+      microdescriptors, and considering that relay as a non-bridge in a
+      circuit, consider its microdescriptor as a valid source of
+      information about that relay. Fixes bug 25691; bugfix
+      on 0.3.3.4-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compilation, rust):
+    - Build correctly when the rust dependencies submodule is loaded,
+      but the TOR_RUST_DEPENDENCIES environment variable is not set.
+      Fixes bug 25679; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (configuration):
+    - Remove undescores from the _HSLayer{2,3}Nodes options. This
+      expert-user configuration can now be enabled as HSLayer{2,3}Nodes.
+      Fixes bug 25581; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (controller):
+    - Restore the correct operation of the RESOLVE command, which had
+      been broken since we added the ability to enable/disable DNS on
+      specific listener ports. Fixes bug 25617; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (distribution, compilation):
+    - Actually include all of our Rust source in our source
+      distributions. (Previously, a few of the files were accidentally
+      omitted.) Fixes bug 25732; bugfix on 0.3.3.2-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (documentation):
+    - Document that the PerConnBW{Rate,Burst} options will fall back to
+      their corresponding consensus parameters only if those parameters
+      are set. Previously we had claimed that these values would always
+      be set in the consensus. Fixes bug 25296; bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha.
+    - Revert a misformatting issue in the ExitPolicy documentation.
+      Fixes bug 25582; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (hidden services):
+    - Re-instate counting pending client HSDir fetch circuits against
+      the MaxClientCircuitsPending rate limit. Fixes bug 24989; bugfix
+      on 0.3.3.0-alpha-dev.
+
+  o Code simplification and refactoring:
+    - Move the list of default directory authorities to their own file
+      for inclusion using the C preprocessor. Closes ticket 24854. Patch
+      by "beastr0".
+
+  o Documentation (manpage, denial of service):
+    - Better detail the denial of service options by listing the
+      different mitigation in place. Closes ticket 25248.
