commit 14be9cba4ee1c3ec96638f4870112848efad2503 Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm@torproject.org> Date: Thu Aug 23 11:24:39 2018 -0400 Update the protocol versions recommendations to remove LinkAuth=1 LinkAuth method 1 is the one where we pull the TLS master secrets out of the OpenSSL data structures and authenticate them with RSA. Right now we list method 1 as required for clients and relays. That's a problem, since we can't reasonably support it with NSS. So let's remove it as a requirement and a recommendation. As for method 3: I'd like to recommend it it, but that would make 0.2.9 start warning. Let's not do that till at least some time after 0.3.5 (the next LTS) is stable.
