  o Major features
    - Clients can now use microdescriptors instead of regular descriptors
      to build circuits.  Microdescriptors are authority-generated and
      -authenticated summaries of regular descriptors' contents, designed
      to change very rarely.  This feature is designed to save bandwidth,
      especially for clients on slow internet connections.  It's off
      by default for now, since nearly no caches support it, but it will
      be on-by-default for clients in a future version.  You can use the
      UseMicrodescriptors option to turn it on.
Code to make clients fetch and use microdescriptors for circuit building To turn this on, set UseMicrodescriptors to "1" (or "auto" if you want it on-if-you're-a-client). It should go auto-by-default once 0.2.3.1-alpha is released. Because of our node logic, directory caches will never use microdescriptors when they have the right routerinfo available. 2010-11-08 20:21:32 +01:00			`o Major features`
