-  o Major feature (exit):
-    - Re-entry into the network is now denied at the Exit level to all
-      relays' ORPorts and authorities' ORPorts and DirPorts. This change
-      should help mitgate a set of denial-of-service attacks. Closes
-      ticket 2667.

   o Major features (build):
     - When building Tor, first link all object files into a single
       static library. This may help with embedding Tor in other

       doc/HACKING/Tracing.md. Closes ticket 32910.
 
-  o Major bugfixes (security):
-    - When completing a channel, relays now check more thoroughly to
-      make sure that it matches any pending circuits before attaching
-      those circuits. Previously, address correctness and Ed25519
-      identities were not checked in this case, but only when extending
-      circuits on an existing channel. Fixes bug 40080; bugfix on
-      0.2.7.2-alpha. Resolves TROVE-2020-005.
-
   o Major bugfixes (directory cache, performance, windows):
     - Limit the number of items in the consensus diff cache to 64 on
       Windows. We hope this will mitigate an issue where Windows relay
       operators reported Tor using 100% CPU, while we investigate better
       solutions. Fixes bug 24857; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
 
-  o Major bugfixes (onion service v3):
-    - Stop requiring a live consensus for v3 clients and services, and
-      allow a "reasonably live" consensus instead. This allows v3 onion
-      services to work even if the authorities fail to generate a
-      consensus for more than 2 hours in a row. Fixes bug 40237; bugfix

-  o Minor features (compilation):
-    - Disable deprecation warnings when building with OpenSSL 3.0.0 or
-      later. There are a number of APIs newly deprecated in OpenSSL
-      3.0.0 that Tor still requires. (A later version of Tor will try to

-  o Minor features (crypto):
-    - Fix undefined behavior on our Keccak library. The bug only
-      appeared on platforms with 32-byte CPU cache lines (e.g. armv5tel)
-      and would result in wrong digests. Fixes bug 40210; bugfix on
-      0.2.8.1-alpha. Thanks to Bernhard Ã?belacker, Arnd Bergmann and
-      weasel for diagnosing this.
-
   o Minor features (directory authorities):
-    - Authorities now list a different set of protocols as required and
-      recommended. These lists have been chosen so that only truly
-      recommended and/or required protocols are included, and so that
-      clients using 0.2.9 or later will continue to work (even though
-      they are not supported), whereas only relays running 0.3.5 or
-      later will meet the requirements. Closes ticket 40162.
     - Add a new consensus method 30 that removes the unnecessary "="
       padding from ntor-onion-key. Closes ticket 7869. Patch by
       Daniel Pinto.
     - Directory authorities now reject descriptors from relays running
       Tor versions from the obsolete 0.4.1 series. Resolves ticket

-    - Make it possible to specify multiple ConsensusParams torrc lines.
-      Now directory authority operators can for example put the main

-  o Minor bugfixes (compatibility):
-    - Strip '\r' characters when reading text files on Unix platforms.
-      This should resolve an issue where a relay operator migrates a
-      relay from Windows to Unix, but does not change the line ending of
-      Tor's various state files to match the platform, and the CRLF line
-      endings from Windows end up leaking into other files such as the

   o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
     - Change the linker flag ordering in our library search code so that
