Comment (by teor):

 0.2.9.1-alpha:
 {{{
     - Tor now uses the operating system's monotonic timers (where
       available) for internal fine-grained timing. Previously we would
       look at the system clock, and then attempt to compensate for the
       clock running backwards. Closes ticket 18908.
