+Changes in version 0.2.5.5-alpha - 2014-06-1?
Write a blurb here.
+ o Major features (security, traffic analysis resistance):
+ - Increase the base amount of time that a canonical connection (one
+ that we have made to a known OR) is allowed to stay idle from 3
+ minutes to 15 minutes. This leaks less information about when
+ circuits have closed, and avoids unnecessary overhead from
+ renegotiating connections. Part of a fix for ticket 6799.
+ - Instead of closing connections after they have been idle for a
+ fixed interval, randomly add up to 50% to each connection's
+ maximum timeout. This makes it harder to tell when the last
+ circuit closed by looking at when a connection closes. Part of a
+ fix for ticket 6799.
+ - Base connection idleness tests on the actual time elapsed since
+ the connection last had circuits, not on the time when we last
+ added non-padding. This change also makes it harder for an
+ observer to tell when the last circuit closed by looking at when a
+ connection closes. Part of a fix for ticket 6799. Incidentally

bugfix on 0.2.4.3-alpha.

o Minor bugfixes (configuration, security, new since 0.2.5.4-alpha, also in 0.2.4.22):
- When running a hidden service, do not allow TunneledDirConns 0;
this will keep the hidden service from running, and also
make it publish its descriptors directly over HTTP. Fixes bug 10849;
bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha.
+ o Minor bugfixes (performance):
+ - Do not recompute whether we have sufficient information to build

+ we would forget our cached value for this flag every time we
+ successfully opened a channel (or marked a router as running or
+ not running for any other reason), regardless of whether we had
+ previously believed the router to be running. This forced us to
+ run a fairly expensive update operation with relatively high
+ frequency. Fixes bug 12170; bugfix on 0.1.2.1-alpha.
