Changes in version 0.2.5.15 - 2017-10-25
  Tor 0.2.5.15 backports a collection of bugfixes from later Tor release
  series. It also adds a new directory authority, Bastet.
  Note: the Tor 0.2.5 series will no longer be supported after 1 May
  2018. If you need a release with long-term support, please upgrade to
  the 0.2.9 series. Otherwise, please upgrade to 0.3.1 or later.
  o Directory authority changes:
    - Add "Bastet" as a ninth directory authority to the default list.
      Closes ticket 23910.
    - The directory authority "Longclaw" has changed its IP address.
      Closes ticket 23592.
  o Major bugfixes (openbsd, denial-of-service, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
    - Avoid an assertion failure bug affecting our implementation of
      inet_pton(AF_INET6) on certain OpenBSD systems whose strtol()
      handling of "0xx" differs from what we had expected. Fixes bug
      22789; bugfix on 0.2.3.8-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-007.
  o Minor features (geoip):
    - Update geoip and geoip6 to the October 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
      Country database.
  o Minor bugfixes (defensive programming, undefined behavior, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
    - Fix a memset() off the end of an array when packing cells. This
      bug should be harmless in practice, since the corrupted bytes are
      still in the same structure, and are always padding bytes,
      ignored, or immediately overwritten, depending on compiler
      behavior. Nevertheless, because the memset()'s purpose is to make
      sure that any other cell-handling bugs can't expose bytes to the
      network, we need to fix it. Fixes bug 22737; bugfix on
      0.2.4.11-alpha. Fixes CID 1401591.
  o Build features (backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
    - Tor's repository now includes a Travis Continuous Integration (CI)
      configuration file (.travis.yml). This is meant to help new
      developers and contributors who fork Tor to a Github repository be
      better able to test their changes, and understand what we expect
      to pass. To use this new build feature, you must fork Tor to your
      Github account, then go into the "Integrations" menu in the
      repository settings for your fork and enable Travis, then push
      your changes. Closes ticket 22636.
