Hi devs,
I was reminded by Harmony that I said a while back [0] that I would announce new Onionoo versions on this list and not only in private message to Harmony for including them in the next TWN issue. Oops.
So, version 2.4 added a new "effective_family" field to details documents, listing all the relays with which the relay in question is in an effective, mutual family relationship. The main goal here is to make it easier to detect misconfigured relay families. This can be relay operators or friendly people watching over the Tor network and reminding relay operators to fix their configurations. [1]
The new version 2.5 that I deployed this week adds the optional "measured" field to details documents. The main idea behind this new field is that relay operators and Tor network debuggers can now figure out easily whether a relay is affected by not being measured by a sufficient number of bandwidth authorities and as a result has lower usage than it could handle. This field is not yet displayed by the Onionoo clients Atlas or Globe, but it's accessible via Onionoo's API [2]. More details are on ticket #16020 [3].
All the best, Karsten
