+ o Major features (security, traffic analysis resistance): + - Increase the base amount of time that a canonical connection (one + that we have made to a known OR) is allowed to stay idle from 3 + minutes to 15 minutes. This leaks less information about when + circuits have closed, and avoids unnecessary overhead from + renegotiating connections. Part of a fix for ticket 6799. + - Instead of closing connections after they have been idle for a + fixed interval, randomly add up to 50% to each connection's + maximum timeout. This makes it harder to tell when the last + circuit closed by looking at when a connection closes. Part of a + fix for ticket 6799. + - Base connection idleness tests on the actual time elapsed since + the connection last had circuits, not on the time when we last + added non-padding.
