[tor-dev] [release] CollecTor 1.4.0, metrics-lib 2.1.1, Onionoo 4.2-1.6.0

[iwakeh]

Hi there!

three new releases are available:

https://dist.torproject.org/collector/1.4.0/
https://dist.torproject.org/onionoo/4.2-1.6.0/
https://dist.torproject.org/metrics-lib/2.1.1/

These releases publish the build revision of the software running on
a particular Onionoo or Collector instance. For Onionoo this means an
additional field "build_revision" in documents (cf. protocol changes [0]),
and CollecTor shows ths field in its index.json [1].
All these changes are already deployed on all tp.o instances.

CollecTor now enables sync-ing of OnionPerf measuremnts between instances.
As there were changes to CollecTor's configuration file, all operators of
CollecTor instances should also update collector.properties on their instance.
INSTALL.md gives all details about how to create a new collector.properties
configuration file [2].

Other details can be found in the respective change logs [3], [4], [5].

Please direct comments and questions to the metrics-team mailing list [6].

Cheers,
iwakeh
