+Changes in version 0.2.9.9 - 2017-01-23
+  Blurb here
+
+  o Major bugfixes (client, onion service):
+    - Fix a client-side onion service reachability bug, where multiple
+      socks requests to an onion service (or a single slow request)
+      could cause us to mistakenly mark some of the service's
+      introduction points as failed, and we cache that failure so
+      eventually we run out and can't reach the service. Also resolves a
+      mysterious "Remote server sent bogus reason code 65021" log
+      warning. The bug was introduced in ticket 17218, where we tried to
+      remember the circuit end reason as a uint16_t, which mangled
+      negative values. Partially fixes bug 21056 and fixes bug 20307;
+      bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor features (geoip):
+    - Update geoip and geoip6 to the January 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
+      Country database.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (portability):
+    - Avoid crashing when Tor is built using headers that contain
+      CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE, but then tries to run on an older kernel
+      without CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE. Fixes bug 21035; bugfix
+      on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
+    - Fix Libevent detection on platforms without Libevent 1 headers
+      installed. Fixes bug 21051; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.

@@ -1,7 +0,0 @@
-  o Minor bugfixes (circuit, hidden service)
-    - When closing a circuit, the reason for doing so was assigned from an int
-      value to a uint16_t which is quite a problem for negative values that are
-      our internal reasons (ex: END_CIRC_REASON_IP_NOW_REDUNDANT). On the HS
-      side, this was causing introduction points to be flagged as unusable
-      because the reason wasn't the right one due to the bad conversion.
-      Partially fixes bug 21056 and fixes bug 20307; Bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
