+Changes in version 0.2.1.29 - 2011-01-15
+  Tor 0.2.1.29 continues our recent code security audit work. The main
+  fix resolves a remote heap overflow vulnerability that can allow remote
+  code execution. Other fixes address a variety of assert and crash bugs,
+  most of which we think are hard to exploit remotely.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (security):
+    - Fix a heap overflow bug where an adversary could cause heap
+      corruption. This bug probably allows remote code execution
+      attacks. Reported by "debuger". Fixes CVE-2011-0427. Bugfix on
+      0.1.2.10-rc.
+    - Prevent a denial-of-service attack by disallowing any
+      zlib-compressed data whose compression factor is implausibly
+      high. Fixes part of bug 2324; reported by "doorss".
+    - Zero out a few more keys in memory before freeing them. Fixes
+      bug 2384 and part of bug 2385. These key instances found by
+      "cypherpunks", based on Andrew Case's report about being able
+      to find sensitive data in Tor's memory space if you have enough
+      permissions. Bugfix on 0.0.2pre9.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (crashes):
+    - Prevent calls to Libevent from inside Libevent log handlers.
+      This had potential to cause a nasty set of crashes, especially
+      if running Libevent with debug logging enabled, and running
+      Tor with a controller watching for low-severity log messages.
+      Bugfix on 0.1.0.2-rc. Fixes bug 2190.
+    - Add a check for SIZE_T_MAX to tor_realloc() to try to avoid
+      underflow errors there too. Fixes the other part of bug 2324.
+    - Fix a bug where we would assert if we ever had a
+      cached-descriptors.new file (or another file read directly into
+      memory) of exactly SIZE_T_CEILING bytes. Fixes bug 2326; bugfix
+      on 0.2.1.25. Found by doorss.
+    - Fix some potential asserts and parsing issues with grossly
+      malformed router caches. Fixes bug 2352; bugfix on Tor 0.2.1.27.
+      Found by doorss.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (other):
+    - Fix a bug with handling misformed replies to reverse DNS lookup
+      requests in DNSPort. Bugfix on Tor 0.2.0.1-alpha. Related to a
+      bug reported by doorss.
+    - Fix compilation on mingw when a pthreads compatibility library
+      has been installed. (We don't want to use it, so we shouldn't
+      be including pthread.h.) Fixes bug 2313; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
+    - Fix a bug where we would declare that we had run out of virtual
+      addresses when the address space was only half-exhausted. Bugfix
+      on 0.1.2.1-alpha.
+    - Correctly handle the case where AutomapHostsOnResolve is set but
+      no virtual addresses are available. Fixes bug 2328; bugfix on
+      0.1.2.1-alpha. Bug found by doorss.
+    - Correctly handle wrapping around to when we run out of virtual
+      address space. Found by cypherpunks, bugfix on 0.2.0.5-alpha.
+    - The 0.2.1.28 tarball was missing src/common/OpenBSD_malloc_Linux.c
+      because we built it with a too-old version of automake. Thus that
+      release broke ./configure --enable-openbsd-malloc, which is popular
+      among really fast exit relays on Linux.
+
+  o Minor features:
+    - Update to the January 1 2011 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
+    - Introduce output size checks on all of our decryption functions.
+
+  o Build changes:
+    - Tor does not build packages correctly with Automake 1.6 and earlier;
+      added a check to Makefile.am to make sure that we're building with
+      Automake 1.7 or later.

 Changes in version 0.2.1.28 - 2010-12-17
   Tor 0.2.1.28 does some code cleanup to reduce the risk of remotely
   exploitable bugs. We also took this opportunity to change the IP address
