 Changes in version 0.2.2.6-alpha - 2009-10-??
+  o Major features:
+    - Directory authorities can now create, vote, and serve on multiple
+      parallel formats of directory data as part of their voting process.
+      This is a partial implementation of Proposal 162: "Publish the

+    - The directory voting system is now extensible to use multiple hash
+      algorithms for signatures and resource selection.  Newer formats are

     - Fix a crash bug when trying to initialize the evdns module in
