o Major features:
- - Increate the base amount of time that a canonical connection
+ - Increase 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

+ the connection last had circuits, not on the time when we last
