 Changes in version 0.2.8.7 - 2016-08-24
   Tor 0.2.8.7 fixes an important bug related to the ReachableAddresses
   option in 0.2.8.6, and replaces a retiring bridge authority. Everyone
   who sets the ReachableAddresses option, and all bridges, are strongly
   encouraged to upgrade.

   o Directory authority changes:
     - The "Tonga" bridge authority has been retired; the new bridge
       authority is "Bifroest". Closes tickets 19728 and 19690.

   o Major bugfixes (client, security):
     - Only use the ReachableAddresses option to restrict the first hop
       in a path. In earlier versions of 0.2.8.x, it would apply to
       every hop in the path, with a possible degradation in anonymity
       for anyone using an uncommon ReachableAddress setting. Fixes bug
       19973; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.

   o Minor features (geoip):
     - Update geoip and geoip6 to the August 2 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
       Country database.

   o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
     - Remove an inappropriate "inline" in tortls.c that was causing
       warnings on older versions of GCC. Fixes bug 19903; bugfix
       on 0.2.8.1-alpha.

   o Minor bugfixes (fallback directories):
     - Avoid logging a NULL string pointer when loading fallback
       directory information. Fixes bug 19947; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha
       and 0.2.8.1-alpha. Report and patch by "rubiate".
