|
+ o Major features (subprotocol versions):
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Tor now uses "subprotocol versions" to indicate
|
|
|
+ compatibility. Previously, versions of Tor looked at the declared Tor
|
|
|
+ version of a relay to tell whether they could use a given feature.
|
|
|
+ Now, they should be able to rely on its declared subprotocol versions.
|
|
|
+ This change allows compatible implementations of the Tor protocol(s) to
|
|
|
+ exist without declaring compatibility with pretending to be particular
|
|
|
+ releases of Tor itself. Closes ticket 19958; implements part of
|
|
|
+ proposal 264.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Tor directory authorities now vote on a set of recommended subprotocol
|
|
|
+ versions, and on a set of required subprotocol versions. Clients and
|
|
|
+ relays that lack support for a _required_ suprotocol version will not
|
|
|
+ start; those that lack support for a _recommended_ subprotocol version
|
|
|
+ will warn the user to upgrade. Closes ticket 19958; implements part of
|
|
|
+ proposal 264.
