-Changes in version 0.2.3.3-alpha - 2011-0?-??
-  Tor 0.2.3.3-alpha adds a new major "stream isolation" feature to
-  improve Tor's security, and provides client-side support for several
-  the microdescriptor and optimistic data features introduced earlier in
-  the 0.2.3.x series.  Also, it has numerous critical bugfixes in the
-  (optional) bufferevent-based networking backend.

+Changes in version 0.2.3.3-alpha - 2011-09-01
+  Tor 0.2.3.3-alpha adds a new "stream isolation" feature to improve Tor's
+  security, and provides client-side support for the microdescriptor
+  and optimistic data features introduced earlier in the 0.2.3.x
+  series. It also includes numerous critical bugfixes in the (optional)
+  bufferevent-based networking backend.
+
+  o Major features (stream isolation):
     - You can now configure Tor so that streams from different
       applications are isolated on different circuits, to prevent an
-      attacker who sees your streams leaving an exit node from linking
-      your sessions to one another. To do this, choose some way to
-      distinguish the applications: have them connect to different
+      attacker who sees your streams as they leave an exit node from
+      linking your sessions to one another. To do this, choose some way
+      to distinguish the applications: have them connect to different
       SocksPorts, or have one of them use SOCKS4 while the other uses
       SOCKS5, or have them pass different authentication strings to the
       SOCKS proxy. Then, use the new SocksPort syntax to configure the
       degree of isolation you need. This implements Proposal 171.
-    - The microdescriptor system is now on by default for clients. This
-      allows clients to download a much smaller amount of directory
-      information. To disable it, set "UseMicrodescriptors 0" in your
-      torrc file.
-    - Tor's firewall-helper feature, introduced in 0.2.3.1-alpha, now
-      supports Windows.
-    - When using an exit nodes running 0.2.3.x, clients can now
-      "optimistically" send data before the exit node reports that the
-      stream has opened. This saves a round trip when starting
-      connections where the client speaks first. This behavior is
-      controlled by a (currently disabled) consensus parameter. To turn
-      it on or off manually, use the "OptimisticData" torrc
-      option. Implements proposal 181; code by Ian Goldberg.
-
-  o Major bugfixes (bufferevents):
-    - When using IOCP on windows, we need to enable Libevent windows
-      threading support. Bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
+    - There's a new syntax for specifying multiple client ports (such as
+      SOCKSPort, TransPort, DNSPort, NATDPort): you can now just declare
+      multiple *Port entries with full addr:port syntax on each.
+      The old *ListenAddress format is still supported, but you can't
+      mix it with the new *Port syntax.
+
+  o Major features (other):
+    - Enable microdescriptor fetching by default for clients. This allows
+      clients to download a much smaller amount of directory information.
+      To disable it (and go back to the old-style consensus and
+      descriptors), set "UseMicrodescriptors 0" in your torrc file.
+    - Tor's firewall-helper feature, introduced in 0.2.3.1-alpha (see the
+      "PortForwarding" config option), now supports Windows.
+    - When using an exit relay running 0.2.3.x, clients can now
+      "optimistically" send data before the exit relay reports that
+      the stream has opened. This saves a round trip when starting
+      connections where the client speaks first (such as web browsing).
+      This behavior is controlled by a consensus parameter (currently
+      disabled). To turn it on or off manually, use the "OptimisticData"
+      torrc option. Implements proposal 181; code by Ian Goldberg.

+  o Major bugfixes (bufferevents, fixes on 0.2.3.1-alpha):
+    - When using IOCP on Windows, we need to enable Libevent windows
+      threading support.
     - The IOCP backend now works even when the user has not specified
-      the (internal, debbuging-only) _UseFilteringSSLBufferevents option.
