- 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

algorithm in the future.
o Code simplifications and refactorings:

o Minor bugfixes:
