Changes in version 0.3.3.1-alpha - 2018-01-??:
Blurb goes here
o Major features (onion services, security):
- Provide torrc options to pin the second and third hops of onion
service circuits to a list of nodes. The option HSLayer2Guards
pins the second hop, and the option HSLayer3Guards pins the third
hop. Closes ticket 13837.

- Tor now has support for restarting in the same process.
Controllers that run Tor using the "tor_api.h" interface can now
restart Tor after Tor has exited. This support is incomplete,
however: we have fixed the crash bugs that prevented it from
working at all before, but many bugs probably remain, including
the possibility of security issues. Implements ticket 24581.

- Add consensus method 28, which removes IPv6 ORPorts from
microdescriptors. Now that there are IPv6 ORPorts in the microdesc

compatible with tor clients on 0.2.8.x and later. (That is to say,

Implements 23828.
- Expand the documentation for AuthDirHasIPv6Connectivity when it is
set by different numbers of authorities. Fixes 23870
on 0.2.4.1-alpha.
o Major features (onion service v3, control port):
- Control port now supports command and events for v3 onion
services. See proposal 284 for more information on what has been
done exactly. Only the HSFETCH command hasn't been implemented at
this stage because of a lack of use case with v3.
- The control port now supports command and events for v3 onion
services: It is now possible to create ephemeral v3 services using
ADD_ONION. Additionally, several events (HS_DESC, HS_DESC_CONTENT,
CIRC and CIRC_MINOR) and commands (GETINFO, HSPOST, ADD_ONION and
DEL_ONION) have been extended to support v3 onion services. Closes
ticket 20699; implements proposal 284.

o Major features (storage, configuration):

other than the DataDirectory by using the CacheDirectory option.
Similarly, the storage location for relay's keys can be overridden
with the KeyDirectory option. Closes ticket 22703.

o Major features (v3 onion services, ipv6):
- When v3 onion service clients send introduce cells, include the
IPv6 address of the rendezvous point, if it has one. v3 onion
services running 0.3.2 ignore IPv6 addresses. In future Tor
versions, IPv6-only v3 single onion services can use IPv6
addresses to connect directly to the rendezvous point. Closes

- On most errors that would cause Tor to exit, it now tries to
return from the tor_main() function, rather than calling the
system exit() function. Most users won't notice a difference here,

survive Tor's exit conditions rather than having Tor shut down the
entire process. Closes ticket 23848.
