+  o Minor bugfixes (directory bandwidth performance):
+    - Don't flush the zlib buffer aggressively when compressing
+      directory information for clients.  This should save about 7% of
+      the bandwidth currently used for compressed descriptors and
+      microdescriptors. Fixes bug 11787; bugfix on 0.1.1.23.
