+ o Major features (Proposal 310, performance + security):
+ - Implements Proposal 310 - Bandaid on guard selection.
+ Proposal 310 solves a load-balancing issue within Prop271 which strongly
+ impact experimental research with Shadow.
+ Security improvement: Proposal 310 prevents any newly Guard relay to
+ have a chance to get into the primary list of older Tor clients,
+ except if the N first sampled guards of these clients are unreachable.
+ Implements recommendation from 32088.
+
+ Proposal 310 is linked to the CLAPS project researching optimal
+ client location-aware path selections. This project is a collaboration
+ between the UCLouvain Crypto Group, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and
+ Princeton University.
