+The tor-tsocks.conf is no longer distributed or installed.
+The tor project recommends that tsocks users use torsocks instead.
+As of tor-0.2.1.30-2 and later, rc.tor init script has been updated to get rid
+of hardcoded values present inside torctl command script. To successfully use
+the newer script be sure to check changes to both /etc/rc.d/rc.tor.new and
+/etc/tor/torrc.new as some configurations values are now required and no
+longer passed on the command line. The original TorProject.org torrc
+configuration is always available as /etc/tor/torrc.sample.
+
+Since Tor 0.3.4.1-alpha the directory authority subsystem has been
+modularized and can be disabled by passing --disable-module-dirauth to the
+./configure script. This means that Tor compiled that way cannot run as a
+directory authority or bridge authority.
+
+Starting from Tor 0.4.2.5 this is the default for the tor.SlackBuild.
+
+Also, since Tor 0.4.2.5 contrib/dist/torctl has been removed by upstream.
+Have a look at https://bugs.torproject.org/30550
+
+In case your relay does not start after the upgrade to Tor 0.4.5.6+
+make sure your system is IPv6 ready. Have a look at
