From cd42ae71850985ed8dd34ae73dc6265a643fcb13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Mathewson Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2011 10:05:32 -0400 Subject: Only authorities should automatically download v2 networkstatus documents Clients and relays haven't used them since early 0.2.0.x. The only remaining use by authorities learning about new relays ahead of scedule; see proposal 147 for what we intend to do about that. We're leaving in an option (FetchV2Networkstatus) to manually fetch v2 networkstatuses, because apparently dnsel and maybe bwauth want them. This fixes bug 3022. --- doc/tor.1.txt | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'doc/tor.1.txt') diff --git a/doc/tor.1.txt b/doc/tor.1.txt index 04a0537712..c408aa9a73 100644 --- a/doc/tor.1.txt +++ b/doc/tor.1.txt @@ -1171,6 +1171,12 @@ if DirPort is non-zero): Set an entrance policy for this server, to limit who can connect to the directory ports.
