Hello tor-relay folks,
I'm confused--not a new thing but likely that this group can help this time. After Roger's email below, I updated my Tor bridges to current. Strangely, NYX reports that they are the "un-recommended" release. When I check with tor --version, I get a reply that is the current software. Additionally, my bridges don't display when I enter their hashed footprint into Tor Metrix. They always have before.
What goes on?

Hi folks!
If you run a bridge relay, please upgrade -- so your bridge address can resume being given out to censored users, and so your stats can resume being included in the metrics pages.
We just put out new releases (0.2.9.16, 0.3.2.11, 0.3.3.9, 0.3.4.5-rc) that retire the old bridge authority and start using a new one. The new bridge authority is "Serge", and it is operated by George from the Tor BSD Diversity project: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-announce/2018-July/000162.html
If for whatever reason you can't upgrade yet, you can also manually switch to advertising your bridge descriptor to the new bridge authority by using this torrc line:
AlternateBridgeAuthority Serge orport=9001 bridge 66.111.2.131:9030 BA44 A889 E64B 93FA A2B1 14E0 2C2A 279A 8555 C533
Thanks! --Roger
