+Changes in version 0.3.2.3-alpha - 2017-10-27
+  Tor 0.3.2.3-alpha is the third release in the 0.3.2 series. It fixes
+  numerous small bugs in earlier versions of 0.3.2.x, and adds a new
+  directory authority, Bastet.
+
+  o Directory authority changes:
+    - Add "Bastet" as a ninth directory authority to the default list.
+      Closes ticket 23910.
+    - The directory authority "Longclaw" has changed its IP address.
+      Closes ticket 23592.
+
+  o Minor features (bridge):
+    - Bridge relays can now set the BridgeDistribution config option to
+      add a "bridge-distribution-request" line to their bridge
+      descriptor, which tells BridgeDB how they'd like their bridge
+      address to be given out. (Note that as of Oct 2017, BridgeDB does
+      not yet implement this feature.) As a side benefit, this feature
+      provides a way to distinguish bridge descriptors from non-bridge
+      descriptors. Implements tickets 18329.
+
+  o Minor features (client, entry guards):
+    - Improve log messages when missing descriptors for primary guards.
+      Resolves ticket 23670.
+
+  o Minor features (geoip):
+    - Update geoip and geoip6 to the October 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
+      Country database.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (bridge):
+    - Overwrite the bridge address earlier in the process of retrieving
+      its descriptor, to make sure we reach it on the configured
+      address. Fixes bug 20532; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (documentation):
+    - Document better how to read gcov, and what our gcov postprocessing
+      scripts do. Fixes bug 23739; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (entry guards):
+    - Tor now updates its guard state when it reads a consensus
+      regardless of whether it's missing descriptors. That makes tor use
+      its primary guards to fetch descriptors in some edge cases where
+      it would previously have used fallback directories. Fixes bug
+      23862; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (hidden service client):
+    - When handling multiple SOCKS request for the same .onion address,
+      only fetch the service descriptor once.
+    - When a descriptor fetch fails with a non-recoverable error, close
+      all pending SOCKS requests for that .onion. Fixes bug 23653;
+      bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (hidden service):
+    - Always regenerate missing hidden service public key files. Prior
+      to this, if the public key was deleted from disk, it wouldn't get
+      recreated. Fixes bug 23748; bugfix on 0.3.2.2-alpha. Patch
+      from "cathugger".
+    - Make sure that we have a usable ed25519 key when the intro point
+      relay supports ed25519 link authentication. Fixes bug 24002;
+      bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (hidden service, v2):
+    - When reloading configured hidden services, copy all information
+      from the old service object. Previously, some data was omitted,
+      causing delays in descriptor upload, and other bugs. Fixes bug
+      23790; bugfix on 0.2.1.9-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (memory safety, defensive programming):
+    - Clear the target address when node_get_prim_orport() returns
+      early. Fixes bug 23874; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (relay):
+    - Avoid a BUG warning when receiving a dubious CREATE cell while an
+      option transition is in progress. Fixes bug 23952; bugfix
+      on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (testing):
+    - Adjust the GitLab CI configuration to more closely match that of
+      Travis CI. Fixes bug 23757; bugfix on 0.3.2.2-alpha.
+    - Prevent scripts/test/coverage from attempting to move gcov output
+      to the root directory. Fixes bug 23741; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
+    - When running unit tests as root, skip a test that would fail
+      because it expects a permissions error. This affects some
+      continuous integration setups. Fixes bug 23758; bugfix
+      on 0.3.2.2-alpha.
+    - Stop unconditionally mirroring the tor repository in GitLab CI.
+      This prevented developers from enabling GitLab CI on master. Fixes
+      bug 23755; bugfix on 0.3.2.2-alpha.
+    - Fix the hidden service v3 descriptor decoding fuzzing to use the
+      latest decoding API correctly. Fixes bug 21509; bugfix
+      on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (warnings):
+    - When we get an HTTP request on a SOCKS port, tell the user about
+      the new HTTPTunnelPort option. Previously, we would give a "Tor is
+      not an HTTP Proxy" message, which stopped being true when
+      HTTPTunnelPort was introduced. Fixes bug 23678; bugfix
+      on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
