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.
