  1. o Minor features (fallback directories):
  2. - Select 200 fallback directories for each release.
  3. Closes ticket 20881.
  4. - Provide bandwidth and consensus weight for each candidate fallback in
  5. updateFallbackDirs.py.
  6. Closes ticket 20878.
  7. - Require fallback directories to have the same address and port for
  8. 4 months. (4 months is a tradeoff between the expected time between
  9. major Tor releases, which is 6 months, and the number of relays with
  10. enough stability.) Relays whose OnionOO stability timer is reset on
  11. restart by bug 18050 should upgrade to Tor 0.2.8.7 or later, which has
  12. a fix for this issue.
  13. Closes ticket 20880; removes short-term fix in e220214 in
  14. tor-0.2.8.2-alpha.
  15. - Make it easier to change the output sort order of fallbacks.
  16. Closes ticket 20822.
  17. - Exclude relays affected by 20499 from the fallback list. Exclude known
  18. affected versions, and any relay that delivers a stale consensus.
  19. Closes ticket 20539.
  20. - Require fallbacks to have flags for 90% of the time (weighted decaying
  21. average), rather than 95%. This allows at least 73% of clients to
  22. bootstrap in the first 5 seconds without contacting an authority.
  23. Part of ticket 18828.
  24. - Display the fingerprint when downloading consensuses from fallbacks.
  25. Closes ticket 20908.
  26. o Minor bugfix (fallback directories):
  27. - Stop failing when OUTPUT_COMMENTS is True in updateFallbackDirs.py.
  28. Closes ticket 20877; bugfix on commit 9998343 in tor-0.2.8.3-alpha.
