https://forum.torproject.org/t/stable-release-0-4-8-5/8996

Here is the ChangeLog:

Changes in version 0.4.8.5 - 2023-08-30 Quick second release after the first stable few days ago fixing minor annoying bugfixes creating log BUG stacktrace. We also fix BSD compilation failures and PoW unit test.

o Minor features (fallbackdir): - Regenerate fallback directories generated on August 30, 2023.

o Minor features (geoip data): - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as retrieved on 2023/08/30.

o Minor bugfix (NetBSD, compilation): - Fix compilation issue on NetBSD by avoiding an unnecessary dependency on "huge" page mappings in Equi-X. Fixes bug 40843; bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha.

o Minor bugfix (NetBSD, testing): - Fix test failures in "crypto/hashx" and "slow/crypto/equix" on x86_64 and aarch64 NetBSD hosts, by adding support for PROT_MPROTECT() flags. Fixes bug 40844; bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha.

o Minor bugfixes (conflux): - Demote a relay-side warn about too many legs to ProtocolWarn, as there are conditions that it can briefly happen during set construction. Also add additional set logging details for all error cases. Fixes bug 40841; bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha. - Prevent non-fatal assert stacktrace caused by using conflux sets during their teardown process. Fixes bug 40842; bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha.

Cheers! David
