These were + not used for anything, and they provided one small way for clients + to be distinguished from each other as they moved from network to + network or behind NAT. Implements part of proposal 222. + - Clients now round timestamps in INTRODUCE cells down to the nearest + 10 minutes. If a new Support022HiddenServices option is set to 0, + or if it's set to "auto" and the feature is disabled in the consensus, + the timestamp is sent as 0 instead. Implements part of proposal 222. + - Stop sending timestamps in AUTHENTICATE cells. This is not such + a big deal from a security point of view, but it achieves no actual + good purpose, and isn't needed.
