+ o Major features:
+ - Relays now try regenerating and uploading their descriptor more
+ frequently if they are not listed in the consensus, or if the
+ version of their descriptor listed in the consensus is too
+ old. This fix should prevent situations where a server declines
+ to re-publish itself because it has done so too recently, even
+ though the authorities decided not to list its recent-enough
+ descriptor. Fix for bug 3327.
