      Tor. Closes ticket 19450. Based on a patch from U+039b.
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
  who sets the ReachableAddresses option, and all bridges, are strongly
  encouraged to upgrade.
  o Directory authority changes:
    - The "Tonga" bridge authority has been retired; the new bridge
      authority is "Bifroest". Closes tickets 19728 and 19690.
  o Major bugfixes (client, security):
    - Only use the ReachableAddresses option to restrict the first hop
      in a path. In earlier versions of 0.2.8.x, it would apply to
      every hop in the path, with a possible degradation in anonymity
      for anyone using an uncommon ReachableAddress setting. Fixes bug
      19973; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
  o Minor features (geoip):
    - Update geoip and geoip6 to the August 2 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
      Country database.
  o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
    - Remove an inappropriate "inline" in tortls.c that was causing
      warnings on older versions of GCC. Fixes bug 19903; bugfix
      on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
  o Minor bugfixes (fallback directories):
    - Avoid logging a NULL string pointer when loading fallback
      directory information. Fixes bug 19947; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha
      and 0.2.8.1-alpha. Report and patch by "rubiate".
