Changes in version 0.2.8.1-alpha - 2016-02-0?
XXXX Blurb goes here XXXX
+ o Major key updates:
+ - Update the V3 identity key for dannenberg: it was changed on 18
+ November 2015. Closes task 17906. Patch by "teor".
+
+ o Removed features:
+ - Remove client-side support for connecting to Tor servers running
+ versions of Tor before 0.2.3.6-alpha. These servers didn't support
+ the v3 TLS handshake protocol, and are no longer allowed on the
+ Tor network. Implements the client side of ticket 11150. Based on
+ patches by Tom van der Woerdt.

o Major features (security, Linux):
- When Tor is started as root on Linux and told to switch user ID,
it can now retain the capabilitity to bind to low ports. By

- Schedule multiple in-progress consensus downloads during client
bootstrap. Use the first one that starts downloading, close the
rest. This reduces failures when authorities are slow or down.

to fallback churn. Implements ticket 4483 (reduce failures when
authorities are down). Patch by "teor". Implements IPv4 portions
of proposal 210 by "mikeperry" and "teor".
-
- o Major features (directory mirrors):
- Include an opt-in trial list of default fallback directories in
add_default_fallback_dir_servers(). Doing this should improve
client reliability and initial bootstrap performance, and reduce
load on the directory authorities. Closes ticket 15775. Patch by
"teor". OnionOO script by "weasel", "teor", "gsathya",
and "karsten".

- o Major features (directory system):
- Previously only relays who explicitly opened a directory port
(DirPort) accepted directory requests from clients. Now all
relays, with and without a DirPort, who do not disable the
DirCache option accept and serve directory requests sent
(tunnelled) through their ORPort. Closes ticket 12538.
