Hello Tor, hello world!
Below you'll find the highlights of Tor metrics team work done in September 2017.
On behalf of the Tor metrics team, Karsten
Deployed a number of improvements for Atlas including fixing a long standing issue with bandwidth sorting in search results by finally considering units [1], showing the first recorded time a relay was seen [2], and displaying DNS names on the details pages.
