* status: needs_review => merge_ready Comment: Replying to [comment:7 nickm]: > Roger, what happens with this patch if a client doesn't actually have any bridges that support microdescriptors? Is that now impossible? Yes, every supported directory cache version supports microdescriptors (and if some custom version doesn't, it will be a useless bridge): {{{ Tor 0.2.3.25, the first stable release in the 0.2.3 branch, features significantly reduced directory overhead (via microdescriptors), }}} And in 0.2.7.1-alpha: {{{ - Tor no longer contains checks for ancient directory cache versions that didn't know about microdescriptors. }}} So we could have removed this check back in 0.2.7. > Other than that, I think we can merge this (if not the rest of #6769) into 0.2.9 Yes, it is safe to default to microdesc consensuses. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20269#comment:8> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
