Tor 0.2.4.7-alpha introduces a new approach to providing fallback
directory mirrors for more robust bootstrapping; fixes more issues where
clients with changing network conditions refuse to make any circuits;
adds initial support for exiting to IPv6 addresses; resumes being able
to update our GeoIP database, and includes the geoip6 file this time;
turns off the client-side DNS cache by default due to privacy risks;
and fixes a variety of other issues.
