+Changes in version 0.4.7.15 - 2023-09-18
+  This version contains an important fix for onion service regarding congestion
+  control and its reliability. Apart from that, very minor bugfixes. We
+  strongly recommend all onion service operators to update immediately.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (onion service):
+    - Fix a reliability issue where services were expiring their
+      introduction points every consensus update. This caused
+      connectivity issues for clients caching the old descriptor and
+      intro points. Bug reported and fixed by gitlab user
+      @hyunsoo.kim676. Fixes bug 40858; bugfix on 0.4.7.5-alpha.
+
+  o Minor features (fallbackdir):
+    - Regenerate fallback directories generated on September 18, 2023.
+
+  o Minor features (geoip data):
+    - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as
+      retrieved on 2023/09/18.
+
+  o Minor features (testing):
+    - Enable Doxygen and Stem tests for 0.4.8 and clean-up some logic
+      for handling versions of Tor that are no longer supported. Closes
+      ticket 40859.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compression):
+    - Right after compression/decompression work is done, check for
+      errors. Before this, we would consider compression bomb before
+      that and then looking for errors leading to false positive on that
+      log warning. Fixes bug 40739; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Patch
+      by "cypherpunks".
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (compression, zstd):
+    - Use less frightening language and lower the log-level of our run-
+      time ABI compatibility check message in our Zstd compression
+      subsystem. Fixes bug 40815; bugfix on 0.4.3.1-alpha.
