+Changes in version 0.3.2.8-rc - 2017-12-21
+ Tor 0.3.2.8-rc fixes a pair of bugs in the KIST and KISTLite schedulers
+ that had led servers under heavy load to overload their outgoing
+ connections. All relay operators running earlier 0.3.2.x versions should
+ upgrade. This version also includes a mitigation for over-full DESTROY
+ queues leading to out-of-memory conditions: if it works, we will soon
+ backport it to earlier release series.
+
+ This is the second 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 (KIST, scheduler):
+ - The KIST scheduler did not correctly account for data already enqueued
+ in each connection's send socket buffer, particularly in cases when the
+ TCP/IP congestion window was reduced between scheduler calls. This
+ situation lead to excessive per-connection buffering in the kernel, and
+ a potential memory DoS. Fixes bug 24665; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (scheduler, KIST):
+ - Use a sane write limit for KISTLite when writing onto a connection
+ buffer instead of using INT_MAX and shoving as much as it can. Because
+ the OOM handler cleans up circuit queues, we are better off at keeping
+ them in that queue instead of the connection's buffer. Fixes bug 24671;
+ bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor features (geoip):
+ - Update geoip and geoip6 to the December 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
+ Country database.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (hidden service v3):
+ - Bump hsdir_spread_store parameter from 3 to 4 in order to increase the
+ probability of reaching a service for a client missing microdescriptors.
+ Fixes bug 24425; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (memory usage):
+ - When queuing DESTROY cells on a channel, only queue the
+ circuit-id and reason fields: not the entire 514-byte
+ cell. This fix should help mitigate any bugs or attacks that
+ fill up these queues, and free more RAM for other uses. Fixes
+ bug 24666; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
