Changes in version 0.4.3.1-alpha - 2020-01-2?
This is the first alpha release in the 0.4.3.x series. It includes improved
support for application integration of onion services, support for building
in a client-only mode, and newly improved internal documentation (which you
can read at https://src-ref.docs.torproject.org/tor/). It also has numerous
other small bugfixes and features, as well as improvements to our code's
internal organization that should help us write better code in the future.

Currently the only supported protocol for the option is haproxy.

o Major bugfixes (linux seccomp sandbox):
- Correct how we use libseccomp. Particularly, stop assuming that
rules are applied in a particular order or that more rules are
processed after the first match. Neither is the case! In
libseccomp <2.4.0 this lead to some rules having no effect.
Libseccomp 2.4.0 changed how rules are generated leading to a
different ordering which in turn lead to a fatal crash during

- Report back HS circuit failure back into the HS subsytem so we
