+  o Minor bugfixes (Directory server):
+    - When sending a compressed set of descriptors or microdescriptors,
+      make sure to finalize the zlib stream. Previously, we would write
+      all the compressed data, but if the last descriptor we wanted to
+      send was missing or too old, we would not mark the stream as
+      finished. This caused problems for decompression tools. Fixes bug
+      11648; bugfix on 0.1.1.23.
