		Changes in version 0.2.7.2-alpha - 2015-07-27
		This, the second alpha in the Tor 0.2.7 series, has a number of new
		features, including a way to manually pick the number of introduction
		points for hidden services, and the much stronger Ed25519 signing key
		algorithm for regular Tor relays (including support for encrypted
		offline identity keys in the new algorithm).

		Support for Ed25519 on relays is currently limited to signing router

		- Relax the validation done to hostnames in SOCKS5 requests, and
		allow a single trailing '.' to cope with clients that pass FQDNs
		using that syntax to explicitly indicate that the domain name is

		- Add GroupWritable and WorldWritable options to unix-socket based
		SocksPort and ControlPort options. These options apply to a single
		socket, and override {Control,Socks}SocketsGroupWritable. Closes

		o Minor bugfixes (relay):
		- Fix a rarely-encountered memory leak when failing to initialize
		the thread pool. Fixes bug 16631; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha. Patch

		- Tor's systemd unit file no longer contains extraneous spaces.
		These spaces would sometimes confuse tools like deb-systemd-

		o Documentation:
		- Include a specific and (hopefully) accurate documentation of the
		torrc file's meta-format in doc/torrc_format.txt. This is mainly
		of interest to people writing programs to parse or generate torrc
		files. This document is not a commitment to long-term
		compatibility; some aspects of the current format are a bit
		ridiculous. Closes ticket 2325.

		o Removed features:
		- Tor no longer supports copies of OpenSSL that are missing support
		for Elliptic Curve Cryptography. (We began using ECC when
