-  o Build features:
-
-    - Tor now builds each source file in two modes: a mode that avoids
-      exposing identifiers needlessly, and another mode that exposes
-      more identifiers for testing. This lets the compiler do better at
-      optimizing the production code, while enabling us to take more
-      radical measures to let the unit tests test things.
-
-    - The production builds no longer include functions used only
-      in the unit tests; all functions exposed from a module for
-      unit-testing only are now static in production builds.
-
-    - Add an --enable-coverage configuration option to make the unit
-      tests (and a new src/or/tor-cov target) to build with gcov test
-      coverage support.
-
-  o Testing:
-
-    - We now have rudimentary function mocking support that our unit
-      tests can use to test functions in isolation. Function mocking
-      lets the tests temporarily replace a function's dependencies with
-      stub functions, so that the tests can check the function without
-      invoking the other functions it calls.
-
-    - Add more unit tests for the <circid,channel>->circuit map, and
-      the destroy-cell-tracking code to fix bug 7912.
