  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. 7 dayss. (Due to the number of relays with enough stability.) Relays
  9. whose OnionOO stability timer is reset on restart by bug 18050 should
  10. upgrade to Tor 0.2.8.7 or later, which has a fix for this issue.
  11. Closes ticket 20880; maintains short-term fix in e220214 in
  12. tor-0.2.8.2-alpha.
  13. - Make it easier to change the output sort order of fallbacks.
  14. Closes ticket 20822.
  15. - Exclude relays affected by 20499 from the fallback list. Exclude known
  16. affected versions, and any relay that delivers a stale consensus, as
  17. long as that consensus expired more than 24 hours ago.
  18. Closes ticket 20539.
  19. - Require fallbacks to have flags for 90% of the time (weighted decaying
  20. average), rather than 95%. This allows at least 73% of clients to
  21. bootstrap in the first 5 seconds without contacting an authority.
  22. Part of ticket 18828.
  23. - Display the fingerprint when downloading consensuses from fallbacks.
  24. Closes ticket 20908.
  25. - Allow 3 fallbacks per operator. (This is safe now we are choosing 200
  26. fallbacks.) Closes ticket 20912.
  27. - Reduce the minimum fallback bandwidth to 1 MByte/s.
  28. Part of #18828.
  29. o Minor bugfixes (fallback directories):
  30. - Stop failing when OUTPUT_COMMENTS is True in updateFallbackDirs.py.
  31. Closes ticket 20877; bugfix on commit 9998343 in tor-0.2.8.3-alpha.
  32. - Avoid checking fallback candidates' DirPorts if they are down in
  33. OnionOO. When a relay operator has multiple relays, this prioritises
  34. relays that are up over relays that are down.
  35. Closes ticket #20926; bugfix on 0.2.8.3-alpha.
  36. - Stop failing when a relay has no uptime data in updateFallbackDirs.py.
  37. Closes ticket 20945; bugfix on tor-0.2.8.1-alpha.
