From http://archives.seul.org/tor/relays/Mar-2010/msg00006.html :
As I understand it, the bug should show up on relays that don't set
Address to an IP address (so they need to resolve their Address
line or their hostname to guess their IP address), and their
hostname or Address line fails to resolve -- at that point they'll
pick a random 4 bytes out of memory and call that their address. At
the same time, relays that *do* successfully resolve their address
will ignore the result, and only come up with a useful address if
their interface address happens to be a public IP address.
Tor has tor_lookup_hostname(), which prefers ipv4 addresses automatically.
Bug 1244 occured because gethostbyname() returned an ipv6 address, which
Tor cannot handle currently. Fixes bug 1244; bugfix on 0.0.2pre25.
Reported by Mike Mestnik.
The code for these was super-wrong, but will only break things when we
reset an option on a platform where sizeof(time_t) is different from
sizeof(int).
Relays no longer publish a new server descriptor if they change
their MaxAdvertisedBandwidth config option but it doesn't end up
changing their advertised bandwidth numbers. Bugfix on 0.2.0.28-rc;
fixes bug 1026. Patch from Sebastian.
Tas (thanks!) noticed that when *ListenAddress is set, Tor would
still warn on startup when *Port is low and hibernation is active.
The patch parses all the *ListenAddress lines, and checks the
ports. Bugfix on 0.2.1.15-rc
Bridges are not supposed to publish router descriptors to the directory
authorities. It defeats the point of bridges when they are included in the
public relay directory.
This patch puts out a warning and exits when the node is configured as
a bridge and to publish v1, v2, or v3 descriptors at the same time.
Also fixes part of bug 932.
This addresses the first part of bug 918. Users are now warned when
they try to use hibernation in combination with a port below 1024
when they're not on Windows. We don't want to die here, because
people might run Tor as root, use a capabilities system or some
other platform that will allow them to re-attach low ports.

bytes (aka 20KB/s), to match our documentation. Also update
directory authorities so they always assign the Fast flag to relays
with 20KB/s of capacity. Now people running relays won't suddenly
find themselves not seeing any use, if the network gets faster
on average.

It turns out that we weren't updating the _ExcludeExitNodesUnion set's
country numbers when we reloaded (or first loaded!) the IP-to-country
file. Spotted by Lark. Bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha.

changes the Windows path from %APPDATA% to a host local
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\ path (aka,
LOCAL_APPDATA).
Patch from coderman.

Unfortunately, old Libevents don't _put_ a version in their headers, so
this can get a little tricky. Fortunately, the only binary-compatibility
issue we care about is the size of struct event. Even more fortunately,
Libevent 2.0 will let us keep binary compatiblity forever by letting us
decouple ourselves from the structs, if we like.

The subversion $Id$ fields made every commit force a rebuild of
whatever file got committed. They were not actually useful for
telling the version of Tor files in the wild.

(Many users have no idea what a resolv.conf is, and shouldn't be forced to learn. The old option will keep working for now.)
Also, document it.
