+  o Minor bugfixes (consensus expiry):
+    - Tor would reconsider updating its directory information every 2 minutes
+      instead of only doing it for a consensus that is more than 24 hours old
+      (badly expired). This specific check is done in the tor main loop
+      callback that validates if we have an expired consensus. Fixes bug
+      23091; bugfix on tor-0.2.0.19-alpha.
