 Changes in version 0.2.8.8 - 2016-09-23
   Tor 0.2.8.8 fixes two crash bugs present in previous versions of the
   0.2.8.x series. Relays running 0.2.8.x should upgrade, as should users
   who select public relays as their bridges.

   o Major bugfixes (crash):
     - Fix a complicated crash bug that could affect Tor clients
       configured to use bridges when replacing a networkstatus consensus
       in which one of their bridges was mentioned. OpenBSD users saw
       more crashes here, but all platforms were potentially affected.
       Fixes bug 20103; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.

   o Major bugfixes (relay, OOM handler):
     - Fix a timing-dependent assertion failure that could occur when we
       tried to flush from a circuit after having freed its cells because
       of an out-of-memory condition. Fixes bug 20203; bugfix on
       0.2.8.1-alpha. Thanks to "cypherpunks" for help diagnosing
       this one.

   o Minor feature (fallback directories):
     - Remove broken fallbacks from the hard-coded fallback directory
       list. Closes ticket 20190; patch by teor.

   o Minor features (geoip):
     - Update geoip and geoip6 to the September 6 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
       Country database.
