+Changes in version 0.3.2.7-rc - 2017-12-14
+  Tor 0.3.2.7-rc fixes various bugs in earlier versions of Tor,
+  including some that could affect reliability or correctness.
+
+  This is the first release candidate in the 0.3.2 series. If we find no
+  new bugs or regression here, then the first stable 0.3.2. release will
+  be nearly identical to this.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (circuit prediction):
+    - Fix circuit prediction logic so that a client doesn't treat a port
+      as being "handled" by a circuit if that circuit already has
+      isolation settings on it. This change should make Tor clients more
+      responsive by improving their chances of having a pre-created
+      circuit ready for use when a request arrives. Fixes bug 18859;
+      bugfix on 0.2.3.3-alpha.
+
+  o Minor features (logging):
+    - Provide better warnings when the getrandom() syscall fails. Closes
+      ticket 24500.
+
+  o Minor features (portability):
+    - Tor now compiles correctly on arm64 with libseccomp-dev installed.
+      (It doesn't yet work with the sandbox enabled.) Closes
+      ticket 24424.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (bridge clients, bootstrap):
+    - Retry directory downloads when we get our first bridge descriptor
+      during bootstrap or while reconnecting to the network. Keep
+      retrying every time we get a bridge descriptor, until we have a
+      reachable bridge. Fixes part of bug 24367; bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
+    - Stop delaying bridge descriptor fetches when we have cached bridge
+      descriptors. Instead, only delay bridge descriptor fetches when we
+      have at least one reachable bridge. Fixes part of bug 24367;
+      bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
+    - Stop delaying directory fetches when we have cached bridge
+      descriptors. Instead, only delay bridge descriptor fetches when
+      all our bridges are definitely unreachable. Fixes part of bug
+      24367; bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
+    - Fix a signed/unsigned comparison warning introduced by our fix to
+      TROVE-2017-009. Fixes bug 24480; bugfix on 0.2.5.16.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (correctness):
+    - Fix several places in our codebase where a C compiler would be
+      likely to eliminate a check, based on assuming that undefined
+      behavior had not happened elsewhere in the code. These cases are
+      usually a sign of redundant checking or dubious arithmetic. Found
+      by Georg Koppen using the "STACK" tool from Wang, Zeldovich,
+      Kaashoek, and Solar-Lezama. Fixes bug 24423; bugfix on various
+      Tor versions.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3):
+    - Fix a race where an onion service would launch a new intro circuit
+      after closing an old one, but fail to register it before freeing
+      the previously closed circuit. This bug was making the service
+      unable to find the established intro circuit and thus not upload
+      its descriptor, thus making a service unavailable for up to 24
+      hours. Fixes bug 23603; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (scheduler, KIST):
+    - Properly set the scheduler state of an unopened channel in the
+      KIST scheduler main loop. This prevents a harmless but annoying
+      log warning. Fixes bug 24502; bugfix on 0.3.2.4-alpha.
+    - Avoid a possible integer overflow when computing the available
+      space on the TCP buffer of a channel. This had no security
+      implications; but could make KIST allow too many cells on a
+      saturated connection. Fixes bug 24590; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
+    - Downgrade to "info" a harmless warning about the monotonic time
+      moving backwards: This can happen on platform not supporting
+      monotonic time. Fixes bug 23696; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
+
