Hi,

When a new version of Tor is released, one which makes significant
changes to routing rules, covers security vulnerabilities, etc. - how
do all the ~6000 relays upgrade to the latest version automatically
and simultaneously so the peers in the network can talk to each other?


On a normal client which uses the Tor Browser Bundle, the update does
not take place at all unless the user does it manually. Is it the same
case to relays? It has to be, since some normal clients act as relays
also in order to help the network (this is my case also).

So, when something with important changes takes place - how are all
the peers in the network convinced to upgrade simultaneously and
automatically?
