       TROVE-2018-005.
 
-  o Major features (denial-of-service mitigation):
-    - Give relays some defenses against the recent network overload. We
-      start with three defenses (default parameters in parentheses).
-      First: if a single client address makes too many concurrent
-      connections (>100), hang up on further connections. Second: if a
-      single client address makes circuits too quickly (more than 3 per
-      second, with an allowed burst of 90) while also having too many
-      connections open (3), refuse new create cells for the next while
-      (1-2 hours). Third: if a client asks to establish a rendezvous
-      point to you directly, ignore the request. These defenses can be
-      manually controlled by new torrc options, but relays will also
-      take guidance from consensus parameters, so there's no need to
-      configure anything manually. Implements ticket 24902.
-
   o Major features (embedding):
     - There is now a documented stable API for programs that need to
       embed Tor. See tor_api.h for full documentation and known bugs.

-  o Major bugfixes (onion services, retry behavior):
-    - Fix an "off by 2" error in counting rendezvous failures on the
-      onion service side. While we thought we would stop the rendezvous
-      attempt after one failed circuit, we were actually making three
-      circuit attempts before giving up. Now switch to a default of 2,

-      override. Fixes bug 24895; bugfix on 0.0.6.
-    - New-style (v3) onion services now obey the "max rendezvous circuit
-      attempts" logic. Previously they would make as many rendezvous
-      circuit attempts as they could fit in the MAX_REND_TIMEOUT second
-      window before giving up. Fixes bug 24894; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.

   o Major bugfixes (relay):
     - If we have failed to connect to a relay and received a connection
       refused, timeout, or similar error (at the TCP level), do not try
       that same address/port again for 60 seconds after the failure has
       occurred. Fixes bug 24767; bugfix on 0.0.6.
-    - Fix a set of false positives where relays would consider
-      connections to other relays as being client-only connections (and
-      thus e.g. deserving different link padding schemes) if those
-      relays fell out of the consensus briefly. Now we look only at the
-      initial handshake and whether the connection authenticated as a
-      relay. Fixes bug 24898; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
 
   o Major bugfixes (relay, denial of service, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
     - Impose a limit on circuit cell queue size. The limit can be controlled by
       a consensus parameter. Fixes bug 25226; bugfix on 0.2.4.14-alpha.
 
-  o Major bugfixes (scheduler, consensus):
-    - The scheduler subsystem was failing to promptly notice changes in
