Implements proposal 215; closes ticket 10163. Why? From proposal 215: Consensus method 1 is no longer viable for the Tor network. It doesn't result in a microdescriptor consensus, and omits other fields that clients need in order to work well. Consensus methods under 12 have security issues, since they let a single authority set a consensus parameter. ... For example, while Tor 0.2.4.x is under development, authorities should really not be running anything before Tor 0.2.3.x. Tor 0.2.3.x has supported consensus method 13 since 0.2.3.21-rc, so it's okay for 0.2.4.x to require 13 as the minimum method. We even might go back to method 12, since the worst outcome of not using 13 would be some warnings in client logs. Consensus method 12 was a security improvement, so we don't want to roll back before that.
Tor protects your privacy on the internet by hiding the connection
between your Internet address and the services you use. We believe Tor
is reasonably secure, but please ensure you read the instructions and
configure it properly.
