feature is Vanguards Lite, from proposal 333, to help mitigate guard
discovery attacks against onion services. It also includes numerous bugfixes.
o Major features (Proposal 332, onion services, guard selection algorithm):
- Clients and onion services now choose four long-lived "layer 2"
guard relays for use as the middle hop in all onion circuits.
These relays are kept in place for a randomized duration averaging
1 week each. This mitigates guard discovery attacks against
1 week. This mitigates guard discovery attacks against
clients and short-lived onion services such as OnionShare. Long-
lived onion services that need high security should still use the
Vanguards addon (https://github.com/mikeperry-tor/vanguards).
