following issues :

  - a hostile hidden service could cause tor clients to

  - updated fallback directory list

  - updated geoip and geoip6 to the December 7 2016 Maxmind
    GeoLite2 Country database.

  - When Tor leaves standby because of a new application
    request, open circuits as needed to serve that request

  - Clients now respond to new application stream requests
    immediately when they arrive, rather than waiting up to
    one second before starting to handle them");
