+  o Minor features
+    - Slightly change behavior of "list" options (that is, options that
+      can appear more than once) when they appear both in torrc and on
+      the command line. Previously, the command-line options would be
+      appended to the ones from torrc. Now, the command-line options
+      override the torrc options entirely. This new behavior allows
+      the user to override list options (like exit policies and
+      ports to listen on) from the command line, rather than simply
+      appending to the list.
+    - You can get the old (appending) command-line behavior for "list"
+      "list" options, by prefixing the option name with a "+".
+    - You can remove all the values for a "list" option from the command
+      line without adding any new ones by prefixing the option name
+      with a "/".
+    - Add *experimental* support for a "defaults" torrc file to be parsed
+      before the regular torrc. Torrc options override the defaults file's
+      options in the same way that the command line overrides the torrc.
+      The SAVECONF controller command saves only those options which differ
+      between the current configuration and the defaults file. HUP reloads
+      both files. (Note: This is an experimental feature; its behavior will
+      probably be refined in future 0.2.3.x-alpha versions to better meet
+      packagers' needs.)
+
+  o Minor bugfixes:
+    - Restore behavior of overriding SocksPort, ORPort, and similar
+      options from the command line. Bugfix on 0.2.3.3-alpha.
