 Changes in version 0.1.2.2-alpha - 2006-10-??
   o Major features:
     - Add server-side support for "reverse" DNS lookups (using PTR
-      records so clients can determine the canonical hostname for a
-      given IPv4 address).  This has been specified for a long time,
-      but was previously never implemented.  This is only supported by
-      eventdns; servers now announce in their descriptors whether they

+      IPv4 address). Only supported by servers using our eventdns async
+      library; servers now announce in their descriptors whether they
       support eventdns.
     - Specify and implement client-side SOCKS5 interface for reverse DNS
       lookups; see doc/socks-extensions.txt for full information.
     - Add a BEGIN_DIR relay cell type for an easier in-protocol way to
-      connect to directory servers through Tor.  Previously, clients could
-      only connect to director servers over Tor from exit nodes, but couldn't
-      get directory information anonymously from a non-exit cache without
-      getting a directory server involved.
