 one"? Or am I missing something obvious?

 So, in the third or fourth attempt I read that as follows:

 If a client requests server descriptors from a directory and none can be
 found, a Tor version 0.2.0.4-alpha and earlier returns code 200 and a
 version 0.2.0.5-alpha and later returns code 404.
