+Changes in version 0.3.4.10 - 2018-01-07
+  Tor 0.3.4.9 is the second stable release in its series; it backports
+  numerous fixes, including an important fix for relays, and for anyone
+  using OpenSSL 1.1.1. Anyone running an  earlier version of Tor 0.3.4
+  should upgrade.
+
+  As a reminder, the Tor 0.3.4 series will be supported until 10 June
+  2019. Some time between now and then, users should switch to the Tor
+  0.3.5 series, which will receive long-term support until at least 1
+  Feb 2022.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (OpenSSL, portability, backport from 0.3.5.5-alpha):
+    - Fix our usage of named groups when running as a TLS 1.3 client in
+      OpenSSL 1.1.1. Previously, we only initialized EC groups when
+      running as a relay, which caused clients to fail to negotiate TLS
+      1.3 with relays. Fixes bug 28245; bugfix on 0.2.9.15 (when TLS 1.3
+      support was added).
+
+  o Major bugfixes (relay, directory, backport from 0.3.5.7):
+    - Always reactivate linked connections in the main loop so long as
+      any linked connection has been active. Previously, connections
+      serving directory information wouldn't get reactivated after the
+      first chunk of data was sent (usually 32KB), which would prevent
+      clients from bootstrapping. Fixes bug 28912; bugfix on
+      0.3.4.1-alpha. Patch by "cypherpunks3".
+
+  o Minor features (continuous integration, Windows, backport from 0.3.5.6-rc):
+    - Always show the configure and test logs, and upload them as build
+      artifacts, when building for Windows using Appveyor CI.
+      Implements 28459.
+
+  o Minor features (controller, backport from 0.3.5.1-alpha):
+    - For purposes of CIRC_BW-based dropped cell detection, track half-
+      closed stream ids, and allow their ENDs, SENDMEs, DATA and path
+      bias check cells to arrive without counting it as dropped until
+      either the END arrives, or the windows are empty. Closes
+      ticket 25573.
+
+  o Minor features (fallback directory list, backport from 0.3.5.6-rc):
+    - Replace the 150 fallbacks originally introduced in Tor
+      0.3.3.1-alpha in January 2018 (of which ~115 were still
+      functional), with a list of 157 fallbacks (92 new, 65 existing, 85
+      removed) generated in December 2018. Closes ticket 24803.
+
+  o Minor features (geoip):
+    - Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 6 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
+      Country database. Closes ticket 28395.
+
+  o Minor features (OpenSSL bug workaround, backport from 0.3.5.7):
+    - Work around a bug in OpenSSL 1.1.1a, which prevented the TLS 1.3
+      key export function from handling long labels. When this bug is
+      detected, Tor will disable TLS 1.3. We recommend upgrading to a
+      version of OpenSSL without this bug when it becomes available.
+      Closes ticket 28973.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.5.5-alpha):
+    - Initialize a variable unconditionally in aes_new_cipher(), since
+      some compilers cannot tell that we always initialize it before
+      use. Fixes bug 28413; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (connection, relay, backport from 0.3.5.5-alpha):
+    - Avoid a logging a BUG() stacktrace when closing connection held
+      open because the write side is rate limited but not the read side.
+      Now, the connection read side is simply shut down until Tor is
+      able to flush the connection and close it. Fixes bug 27750; bugfix
+      on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, Windows, backport from 0.3.5.5-alpha):
+    - Manually configure the zstd compiler options, when building using
+      mingw on Appveyor Windows CI. The MSYS2 mingw zstd package does
+      not come with a pkg-config file. Fixes bug 28454; bugfix
+      on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
+    - Stop using an external OpenSSL install, and stop installing MSYS2
+      packages, when building using mingw on Appveyor Windows CI. Fixes
+      bug 28399; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, Windows, backport from 0.3.5.6-rc):
+    - Explicitly specify the path to the OpenSSL library and do not
+      download OpenSSL from Pacman, but instead use the library that is
+      already provided by AppVeyor. Fixes bug 28574; bugfix on master.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (directory permissions, backport form 0.3.5.3-alpha):
+    - When a user requests a group-readable DataDirectory, give it to
+      them. Previously, when the DataDirectory and the CacheDirectory
+      were the same, the default setting (0) for
+      CacheDirectoryGroupReadable would override the setting for
+      DataDirectoryGroupReadable. Fixes bug 26913; bugfix
+      on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (memory leaks, backport from 0.3.5.5-alpha):
+    - Fix a harmless memory leak in libtorrunner.a. Fixes bug 28419;
+      bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. Patch from Martin Kepplinger.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, backport from 0.3.5.3-alpha):
+    - Don't warn so loudly when Tor is unable to decode an onion
+      descriptor. This can now happen as a normal use case if a client
+      gets a descriptor with client authorization but the client is not
+      authorized. Fixes bug 27550; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, backport from 0.3.5.6-rc):
+    - When deleting an ephemeral onion service (DEL_ONION), do not close
+      any rendezvous circuits in order to let the existing client
+      connections finish by themselves or closed by the application. The
+      HS v2 is doing that already so now we have the same behavior for
+      all versions. Fixes bug 28619; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (relay statistics, backport from 0.3.5.7):
+    - Update relay descriptor on bandwidth changes only when the uptime
+      is smaller than 24h, in order to reduce the efficiency of guard
+      discovery attacks. Fixes bug 24104; bugfix on 0.1.1.6-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (unit tests, guard selection, backport from 0.3.5.6-rc):
+    - Stop leaking memory in an entry guard unit test. Fixes bug 28554;
+      bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
