  o Minor features (build):

    - Tor now again builds with the recent OpenSSL 1.1 development branch

      (tested against 1.1.0-pre6-dev). Closes ticket 19499.

  o Fallback directory list:

    - Add a comment to the generated list that explains how to comment-out

      unsuitable fallbacks in a way that's compatible with the stem fallback

      parser.

    - Update fallback whitelist and blacklist based on relay operator

      emails. Blacklist unsuitable fallbacks. Resolves ticket 19071.

      Patch by teor.

    - Update hard-coded fallback list to remove unsuitable fallbacks.

      0.2.8.3-alpha. Patch by teor.

  o Minor bugfixes (logging):

    - Reduce excessive logging when directories can't be found.

      Fixes bug 18849; bugfix on 0.2.8.3-alpha and 0.2.8.1-alpha.

      Patch by teor.

    - Reduce excessive logging when directories can't be found. Fixes

      bug 18849; bugfix on 0.2.8.3-alpha and 0.2.8.1-alpha. Patch

      by teor.

    - When a fallback changes its fingerprint from the hard-coded

      fingerprint, log a less severe, more explanatory log message.

      Fixes bug 18812; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. Patch by teor.

  o Minor bugfixes (sandboxing):

    - When sandboxing is enabled, we could not write any stats to

      disk.  check_or_create_data_subdir("stats"), which prepares the

      private stats directory, calls check_private_dir(), which also

      opens and not just stats() the directory.  Therefore, we need to

      also allow open() for the stats dir in our sandboxing setup.

      Fixes bug 19556; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.

    - Our sandboxing code would not allow us to write to stats/hidserv-stats,

      causing tor to abort while trying to write stats.  This was previously

      masked by bug 19556. Fixes bug 19557; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha.

      on 0.2.6.1-alpha.

  o Minor bugfixes (user interface):

    - Remove a warning message "Service [scrubbed] not found after

      descriptor upload". This message appears when one uses HSPOST control

      command to upload a service descriptor. Since there is only a descriptor

      and no service, showing this message is pointless and confusing.

      Fixes bug 19464; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
