o Minor features (fallback directories):
- Select 200 fallback directories for each release.
Closes ticket 20881.
- Provide bandwidth and consensus weight for each candidate fallback in
updateFallbackDirs.py.
Closes ticket 20878.
- Require fallback directories to have the same address and port for
6 months. (We expect to regenerate the fallback list each major Tor
release.) Relays whose OnionOO stability timer is reset on restart by
bug 18050 should upgrade to Tor 0.2.8.7 or later, which has a fix for
this issue.
Closes ticket 20880; removes short-term fix in e220214 in
tor-0.2.8.2-alpha.
- Make it easier to change the output sort order of fallbacks.
Closes ticket 20822.
- Exclude relays affected by 20499 from the fallback list. Exclude known
affected versions, and any relay that delivers a stale consensus.
Closes ticket 20539.
- Require fallbacks to have flags for 90% of the time (weighted decaying
average), rather than 95%. This allows at least 73% of clients to
bootstrap in the first 5 seconds without contacting an authority.
Part of ticket 18828.
- Display the fingerprint when downloading consensuses from fallbacks.
Closes ticket 20908.
o Minor bugfix (fallback directories):
- Stop failing when OUTPUT_COMMENTS is True in updateFallbackDirs.py.
Closes ticket 20877; bugfix on commit 9998343 in tor-0.2.8.3-alpha.
