+ o Major bugfixes (guard selection):
+ - Actually look at the Guard flag when selecting a new directory
+ guard. When we implemented the directory guard design, we
+ accidentally started treating all relays as if they have the Guard
+ flag during guard selection, leading to weaker anonymity and worse
+ performance. Fixes bug 17222; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. Discovered
+ by Mohsen Imani.
