New Onionoo version 2.6 adds new "alleged_family" and "indirect_family" fields

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Onionoo users, I just merged and deployed Onionoo protocol version 2.6 which adds two new fields related to relay families and marks the current "family" field as deprecated. The idea of adding three fields for relay families is that we want to support different use cases: - Atlas and Globe want to list all relays that a relay has configured as its family ("effective_family" + "alleged_family"). - Atlas and Globe may further want to mark ineffective family relationships in red ("alleged_family") and effective family relationships in blue ("effective_family"). - Roster needs a family definition that includes family members that are either in a direct family relationship with a relay ("effective_family") or that can be reached by following effective family relationships ("indirect_family"). The current "family" field will stay available until Atlas and Globe are updated. If I should also wait for other clients to be updated, please let me know. We shouldn't wait too long, because all those fingerprints increase the size of Onionoo results for everyone. All the best, Karsten -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJV5JJAAAoJEJD5dJfVqbCrlw0IAJ3NxbTE00M72EN/DLcJw2FD /KMV2vpyQqi6tharTNGtZmZrm7HMZ/RTRhR5qlkmcKE18UDKxF0sX5ezT6+1R0QV dNmUhYspP5cKcF6nqReMdd26dp4am6I5PSWqEmsMiC5vmxZbvp+B3st/9MNfYExE qTQV8rkzsWIGTGSojxXLAjzjQwy9EBXdLrMrchH+jL0igbWmWLeshDSou/N0te1g B6TBnA2LlRLKhLoAtwjjF1TREZN6Tkk9djQ8zHRjppZzu004I8bqPWiJ36qLDEqi UVmuo5zrJUQxQEQ/n+AkRBoVNblVDY7/xeGh35ENhCzs+Ls75jCQzrkzx+7upPw= =yTnY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

If someone is actually going to adjust atlas/globe/compass it would be great if that someone could also take this enhancement request [1] into account - which might go hand in hand with the required change. [1] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/15417
