Changes in version 0.2.8.8 - 2016-09-23
  Tor 0.2.8.8 fixes two crash bugs present in previous versions of the
  0.2.8.x series. Relays running 0.2.8.x should upgrade, as should users
  who select public relays as their bridges.
  o Major bugfixes (crash):
    - Fix a complicated crash bug that could affect Tor clients
      configured to use bridges when replacing a networkstatus consensus
      in which one of their bridges was mentioned. OpenBSD users saw
      more crashes here, but all platforms were potentially affected.
      Fixes bug 20103; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
  o Major bugfixes (relay, OOM handler):
    - Fix a timing-dependent assertion failure that could occur when we
      tried to flush from a circuit after having freed its cells because
      of an out-of-memory condition. Fixes bug 20203; bugfix on
      0.2.8.1-alpha. Thanks to "cypherpunks" for help diagnosing
      this one.
  o Minor feature (fallback directories):
    - Remove broken fallbacks from the hard-coded fallback directory
      list. Closes ticket 20190; patch by teor.
  o Minor features (geoip):
    - Update geoip and geoip6 to the September 6 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
      Country database.
Changes in version 0.2.8.7 - 2016-08-24
  Tor 0.2.8.7 fixes an important bug related to the ReachableAddresses
  option in 0.2.8.6, and replaces a retiring bridge authority. Everyone
