+ o Major features:
+ - Add a new FallbackDir option to use when we can't use a directory
+ from the consensus (either because we lack a consensus, or because
+ they're all down). Currently, all authorities are fallbacks by
+ default, and there are no other default fallbacks, but that will
+ change. This option will allow us to give clients a longer list
+ of servers to try to get a consensus from when first connecting
+ to the Tor network, and thereby reduce load on the directory
+ authorities.
+
+ o Removed features:
+ - Drop the old FallbackNetworkstatus option: we never got it working
+ well enough to use it.

+ o Renamed options:

+ naming patterns. You can still use the old DirServer form.
