+ o Major features:
+
+ - Increate the base amount of time that a canonical connection
+ (one that we have made to a known OR) is allowed to stay open
+ from a 3 minutes to 15 minutes. This leaks less information
+ about when circuits have closed, and avoids unnecessary overhead
+ from renegotiating connections. Part of a fix for ticket 6799.
+
+ - Instead of closing connections at a fixed interval after their
+ last circuit closed, randomly add up to 50% to each connection's
+ maximum timout. This makes it harder to tell when the last
+ circuit closed by looking at when a connection closes. Part of a
+ fix for ticket 6799.
