+Changes in version 0.2.0.28-rc - 2008-06-13
+  o Anonymity fixes:
+    - Fix a bug where, when we were choosing the 'end stream reason' to
+      put in our relay end cell that we send to the exit relay, Tor
+      clients on Windows were sometimes sending the wrong 'reason'. The
+      anonymity problem is that exit relays may be able to guess whether
+      the client is running Windows, thus helping partition the anonymity
+      set. Down the road we should stop sending reasons to exit relays,
+      or otherwise prevent future versions of this bug.
+
+  o Major bugfixes:
+    - While setting up a hidden service, some valid introduction circuits
+      were overlooked and abandoned. This might be the reason for
+      the long delay in making a hidden service available. Bugfix on
+      0.2.0.13-alpha.
+
+  o Minor features:
+    - Update to the "June 9 2008" ip-to-country file.
+    - Run 'make test' as part of 'make dist', so we stop releasing so
+      many development snapshots that fail their unit tests.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes:
+    - When we're checking if we have enough dir info for each relay
+      to begin establishing circuits, make sure that we actually have
+      the descriptor listed in the consensus, not just any descriptor.
+    - Bridge relays no longer print "xx=0" in their extrainfo document
+      for every single country code in the geoip db.
+    - Only warn when we fail to load the geoip file if we were planning to
+      include geoip stats in our extrainfo document.
+    - If we change our MaxAdvertisedBandwidth and then reload torrc,
+      Tor won't realize it should publish a new relay descriptor. Fixes
+      bug 688, reported by mfr.
+    - When we haven't had any application requests lately, don't bother
+      logging that we have expired a bunch of descriptors.
+    - Make relay cells written on a connection count as non-padding when
+      tracking how long a connection has been in use. Bugfix on
+      0.2.0.1-alpha. Spotted by lodger.
+    - Fix unit tests in 0.2.0.27-rc.
+    - Fix compile on Windows.
