+  o Minor bugfixes (error handling):
+    - Report the tor version whenever an assertion fails. Previously, we only
+      reported the Tor version on some crashes, and some non-fatal assertions.
+      Fixes bug 31571; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
+    - On abort, try harder to flush the output buffers of log messages. On
+      some platforms (macOS), log messages can be discarded when the process
+      terminates. Fixes bug 31571; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
