Comment:

 This one, however, seems right:

 0.2.4:
 {{{
     if (chan->state != CHANNEL_STATE_OPEN) {
       /* If the address matches, don't launch a new connection for this
        * circuit. */
       if (!channel_matches_target_addr_for_extend(chan, target_addr))
         ++n_inprogress_goodaddr;
       continue;
     }
 }}}

 0.2.3:
 {{{
     if (conn->_base.state != OR_CONN_STATE_OPEN) {
       /* If the address matches, don't launch a new connection for this
        * circuit. */
       if (!tor_addr_compare(&conn->real_addr, target_addr, CMP_EXACT))
         ++n_inprogress_goodaddr;
       continue;
     }
 }}}

 My recommendation is that "matches" should return !tor_addr-compare(),
 that the function documentation should say "Return true iff..." (i.e.,
 describe the return value).  The n_noncanonical case should say !matches;
 the n_inprogress_goodaddr case should say "matches".
