+Changes in version 0.3.3.5-rc - 2018-04-15
+  Tor 0.3.3.5-rc fixes various bugs in earlier versions of Tor,
+  including some that could affect reliability or correctness.
 
-  - 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.
+  This is the first release candidate in the 0.3.3 series. If we find no
+  new bugs or regression here, then the first stable 0.3.3 release will
+  be nearly identical to this one.

+  o Major bugfixes (security, 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 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.
+      We now use 40% of the hardware RAM if the system has 8 GB RAM or
+      more. Otherwise we use the former value of 75%. Closes

   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.

   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.
