+ o Major features (embedding):
+ - There is now a documented stable API for programs that need to
+ embed Tor. See tor_api.h for full documentation and known bugs.
+ Closes ticket 23684.
+
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- The tor_git_revision[] constant no longer needs to be redeclared
by everything that links against the rest of Tor. Done as part
