+  o Major features:
+    - Clients now use the bandwidth values in the consensus, rather than
+      the bandwidth values in each relay descriptor. This approach opens
+      the door to more accurate bandwidth estimates once the directory
+      authorities start doing active measurements. Implements more of
+      proposal 141.
+
   o Major bugfixes:
+    - When Tor clients restart after 1-5 days, they discard all their
+      cached descriptors as too old, but they still use the cached
+      consensus document. This approach is good for robustness, but
+      bad for performance: since they don't know any bandwidths, they
+      end up choosing at random rather than weighting their choice by
+      speed. Fixed by the above feature of putting bandwidths in the
+      consensus. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x.
     - Directory authorities were neglecting to mark relays down in their
       internal histories if the relays fall off the routerlist without
       ever being found unreachable. So there were relays in the histories
