Bugfix on + 0.2.2.9-alpha; fixes bug 1269. + o Major features (performance): - - Alter the client path selection to use new consensus-generated - weightings to alter bandwidths when selecting Guard, Middle, Exit, - and Guard+Exit flagged nodes for entry, middle, and exit positions. - This should more evenly distribute the network load across these - different types of nodes, and give us the flexibility to globally - alter our node selection algorithms in the future. Extra thanks - to "outofwords" for finding some nasty security bugs in the - first implementation of this. + - Directory authorities now compute consensus weightings that instruct + clients how to weight relays flagged as Guard, Exit, Guard+Exit, + and no flag. Clients that use these weightings will distribute + network load more evenly across these different relay types. The + weightings are in the consensus so we can change them globally in + the future.

Bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha. - Ship the asciidoc-helper file in the tarball, so that people can build from source if they want to, and touching the .1.txt files doesn't break the build.
