+ o Minor features (infrastructure):
+ - Tor now includes an improved timer backend, so that we can efficiently
+ support tens or hundreds of thousands of concurrent timers, as will be
+ needed for some of our planned anti-traffic-analysis work. This code
+ is based on William Ahern's "timeout.c" project, which implements
+ a "tickless hierarchical timing wheel". Closes ticket #18365.
