Major features:
- - Make the number of entry guards (and thus, by default, directory
- guards too) configurable via a new NumEntryGuards consensus
+ - Make the number of entry guards configurable via a new
+ NumEntryGuards consensus parameter, and the number of directory
+ guards configurable via a new NumDirectoryGuards consensus
parameter. Implements ticket 12688.
