+ o Security fixes:
+ - Directory authorities now use data collected from rephist when
+ choosing whether to assign the HSDir flag to relays, instead of
+ trusting the uptime value the relay reports in its descriptor.
+ This helps prevent an attack where a small set of nodes with
+ frequently-changing identity keys can blackhole a hidden service.
+ (Only authorities need upgrade; others will be fine once they do.)
+ Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha; fixes bug 2709.
