+ o Build changes
+ - Our build system requires automake 1.6 or later to create the
+ Makefile.in files. Previously, you could have used 1.4.
+ This only affects developers and people building Tor from git;
+ people who build Tor from the source distribution without changing
+ the Makefile.am files should be fine.
