Changes in version 0.2.2.6-alpha - 2009-10-??
+ o Major features:
+ - Directory authorities can now create, vote, and serve on multiple
+ parallel formats of directory data as part of their voting process.
+ This is a partial implementation of Proposal 162: "Publish the
+ consensus in multiple flavors."
+ - Directory authorities can now agree on and publish small summaries of
+ router information that clients can use in place of regular server
+ descriptors. This will eventually allow clients to use far less
+ bandwidth for downloading information about the network. This begins
+ the implementation of of Proposal 158: "Clients download a consensus +
+ Microdescriptors".
+ - The directory voting system is now extensible to use multiple hash
+ algorithms for signatures and resource selection. Newer formats are
+ signed with SHA256, with a possibility for moving to a better hash
+ algorithm in the future.
+
o Code simplifications and refactorings:
- Numerous changes, bugfixes, and workarounds from Nathan Freitas
to help Tor build correctly for Android phones.
+ - Begun converting Tor's signature and message digest logic to handle
+ multiple hash algorithms.
o Minor bugfixes:
