Nick Mathewson 5b2fc118df Bump all arti*, tor* crates to 0.2.0
Not all of these strictly need to be bumped to 0.2.0; many could go
to 0.1.1 instead.  But since everything at the tor-rtcompat and
higher layers has had breaking API changes, it seems not so useful
to distinguish.  (It seems unlikely that anybody at this stage is
depending on e.g. tor-protover but not arti-client.)

tor-dirclient

tor-dirclient: Implements a minimal directory client for Tor.

Overview

Tor makes its directory requests as HTTP/1.0 requests tunneled over Tor circuits. For most objects, Tor uses a one-hop tunnel. Tor also uses a few strange and ad-hoc HTTP headers to select particular functionality, such as asking for diffs, compression, or multiple documents.

This crate provides an API for downloading Tor directory resources over a Tor circuit.

This crate is part of Arti, a project to implement Tor in Rust.

Features

xz -- enable XZ compression. This can be expensive in RAM and CPU, but it saves a lot of bandwidth. (On by default.)

zstd -- enable ZSTD compression. (On by default.)

routerdesc -- Add support for downloading router descriptors.
