+ o Minor bugfixes (error reporting):
+ - Improve tolerance for directory authorities with skewed clocks.
+ Previously, an authority with a clock more than 60 seconds ahead
+ could cause a client with a correct clock to warn that the
+ client's clock was behind. Now the clocks of a majority of
+ directory authorities have to be ahead of the client before this
+ warning will occur. Fixes bug 25756; bugfix on 0.2.2.25-alpha.
