 Changes in version 0.2.6.1-alpha - 2014-??-??
+  Tor 0.2.6.1-alpha is the first release in the Tor 0.2.6.x series. It
+  includes numerous code cleanups and new tests, and fixes a large

+  directory object, so that tightening restrictions does not have a risk
+  of introducing infinite download loops.
