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.

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.
