  o Minor features (directory authority):
    - Directory authorities support a new consensus algorithm,
      under which microdescriptor entries are encoded in a canonical
      form. This improves their compressibility in transit and on the client.
      Closes ticket 28266; implements proposal 298.

  o Minor features (relay):
    - When listing relay families, list them in canonical form including the
      relay's own identity, and try to give a more useful set of warnings.
      Part of ticket 28266 and proposal 298.

Emit router families in canonical form This patch has routers use the same canonicalization logic as authorities when encoding their family lists. Additionally, they now warn if any router in their list is given by nickname, since that's error-prone. This patch also adds some long-overdue tests for family formatting. 2018-11-24 22:35:58 +01:00
