   (#28366).
-  Use 5 "=" characters as terminator in the bandwidth files (#28379)

Changed
~~~~~~~

   than 60% (#28062)

   include the relays in the bandwidth file and instead include some
   statistics in the header (#28076)
-  When the percentage of measured relays is less than the 60% and it
   was more before, warn about it (#28155)
-  When the difference between the total consensus bandwidth and the
   total in the bandwidth lines is larger than 50%, warn (#28216)

-------------------

**Important changes**:

-  Implement Torflow scaling/aggregation to be able to substitute
   Torflow with sbws without affecting the bandwidth files results.
-  Change stem dependency to 1.7.0, which removes the need for
   ``dependency_links``
-  Update and cleanup documentation

Added
~~~~~

-  Add system physical requirements section to INSTALL (#26937)
-  Warn when there is not enough disk space (#26937)

   $FOO, write $$FOO in the config.
-  Stop using directory as argument in integration tests (#27342)
-  Fix typo getting configuration option to allow logging to file
   (#27960)

-  Stop printing arguments default values, since they are printed by
   default (#27916)
-  Use dash instead of underscore in new cli argument names (#27917)

Changed
~~~~~~~

-  sbws install doc is confusing (#27341)

-  Include dependencies for docs and tests in ``INSTALL``.
-  Point to ``DEPLOY`` to run sbws.
-  Remove obsolete sections in ``INSTALL``
-  Simplify ``DEPLOY``, reuse terms in the ``glossary``.
-  Remove obsolete ``sbws init`` from ``DEPLOY``.
-  Point to config documentation.
-  Add, unify and reuse terms in ``glossary``.
-  refactor v3bwfile (#27386): move scaling method inside class
-  use custom ``install_command`` to test installation commands while
   ``dependency_links`` is needed until #26914 is fixed. (#27704)

-  generate scales as Torflow by default (#27976)

v0.7.0 (2018-08-09)
-------------------

**Important changes**:

-  ``cleanup/stale_days`` is renamed to
   ``cleanup/data_files_compress_after_days``
-  ``cleanup/rotten_days`` is renamed to
   ``cleanup/data_files_delete_after_days``
-  sbws now takes as an argument the path to a config file (which
   contains ``sbws_home``) instead of ``sbws_home`` (which contains the
   path to a config file)

Added
~~~~~

-  Log line on start up with sbws version, platform info, and library
   versions (trac#26751)
-  Manual pages (#26926)

Fixed
~~~~~

-  Stop deleting the latest.v3bw symlink. Instead, do an atomic rename.
   (#26740)
-  State file for storing the last time ``sbws scanner`` was started,
   and able to be used for storing many other types of state in the
   future. (GH#166)

-  Do not require configuration file inside directories specified by the
   configuration

v0.6.0 (2018-07-11)
-------------------

**Important changes**:

-  The way users configure logging has changed. No longer are most users
   expected to be familiar with how to configure python's standard
   logging library with a config file. Instead we've abstracted out the
   setting of log level, format, and destinations to make these settings
   more accessible to users. Expert users familiar with `the logging
   config file
   format <https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.config.html#logging-config-fileformat>`__
   can still make tweaks.

Summary of changes:

-  Make logging configuration easier for the user.
-  Add UML diagrams to documentation. They can be found in
   docs/source/images/ and regenerated with ``make umlsvg`` in docs/.

Added
~~~~~

-  UML diagrams to documentation. In docs/ run ``make umlsvg`` to
   rebuild them. Requires graphviz to be installed.(GHPR#226)
-  Add metadata to setup.py, useful for source/binary distributions.
-  Add possibility to log to system log. (#26683)
-  Add option to cleanup v3bw files. (#26701)

Fixed
~~~~~

-  Measure relays that have both Exit and BadExit as non-exits, which is
   how clients would use them. (GH#217)
-  Could not init sbws because of a catch-22 related to logging
   configuration. Overhaul how logging is configured. (GH#186 GHPR#224)
-  Call write method of V3BWFile class from the object instance.
   (#26671)
-  Stop calculating median on empty list .(#26666)

Changed
~~~~~~~

-  Remove is\_controller\_ok. Instead catch possible controller
   exceptions and log them

Removed
~~~~~~~

-  Two parsing/plotting scripts in scripts/tools/ that can now be found
   at https://github.com/pastly/v3bw-tools

v0.5.0 (2018-06-26)
-------------------

**Important changes**:

-  Result format changed, causing a version bump to 4. Updating sbws to
   0.5.0 will cause it to ignore results with version less than 4.

Summary of changes:

-  Keep previously-generated v3bw files
-  Allow a relay to limit its weight based on
   RelayBandwidthRate/MaxAdvertisedBandwidth
-  1 CPU usage optimization
-  1 memory usage optimization

Added
~~~~~

-  Use a relay's {,Relay}BandwidthRate/MaxAdvertisedBandwidth as an
   upper bound on the measurements we make for it. (GH#155)
-  Ability to only consider results for a given relay valid if they came
   from when that relay is using its most recent known IP address.
   Thanks Juga. (GH#154 GHPR#199)
-  Maintenance script to help us find functions that are (probably) no
   longer being called.
-  Integration test(s) for RelayPrioritizer (GHPR#206)
-  Git/GitHub usage guidelines to CONTRIBUTING document (GH#208
   GHPR#215)

Fixed
~~~~~

-  Make relay priority calculations take only ~5% of the time they used
   to (3s vs 60s) by using sets instead of lists when selecting
   non-Authority relays. (GH#204)
-  Make relay list refreshing take much less time by not allowing worker
   threads to dogpile on the CPU. Before they would all start requesting
   descriptors from Tor at roughly the same time, causing us to overload
   our CPU core and make the process take unnecessarily long. Now we let
   one thread do the work so it can peg the CPU on its own and get the
   refresh done ASAP. (GH#205)
-  Catch a JSON decode exception on malformed results so sbws can
   continue gracefully (GH#210 GHPR#212)

Changed
~~~~~~~

-  Change the path where the Bandwidth List files are generated: now
   they are stored in ``v3bw`` directory, named ``YYmmdd_HHMMSS.v3bw``,
   and previously generated ones are kept. A ``latest.v3bw`` symlink is
   updated. (GH#179 GHPR#190)
-  Code refactoring in the v3bw classes and generation area
-  Replace v3bw-into-xy bash script with python script to handle a more
   complex v3bw file format (GH#182)

v0.4.1 (2018-06-14)
-------------------

Changed
~~~~~~~

-  If the relay to measure is an exit, put it in the exit position and
   choose a non-exit to help. Previously the relay to measure would
   always be the first hop. (GH#181)
-  Try harder to find a relay to help measure the target relay with two
   changes. Essentially: (1) Instead of only picking from relays that
   are 1.25 - 2.00 times faster than it by consensus weight, try (in
   order) to find a relay that is at least 2.00, 1.75, 1.50, 1.25, or
   v1.00 times as fast. If that fails, instead of giving up, (2) pick the
   fastest relay in the network instead of giving up. This compliments
   the previous change about measuring target exits in the exit
   position.

Fixed
~~~~~

-  Exception that causes sbws to fall back to one measurement thread. We
   first tried fixing something in this area with ``88fae60bc`` but
   neglected to remember that ``.join()`` wants only string arguments
   and can't handle a ``None``. So fix that.
-  Exception when failing to get a relay's ``ed25519_master_key`` from
   Tor and trying to do ``.rstrip()`` on a None.
-  ``earliest_bandwidth`` being the newest bw not the oldest (thanks
   juga0)
-  ``node_id`` was missing the character "$" at the beginning
