characters ([dcrd#3432](https://github.com/decred/dcrd/pull/3432)). + +## Other Improvements + +* Mix session agreement was improved by ignoring key exchange messages received too early before the calculated epoch time ([dcrd/3403](https://github.com/decred/dcrd/pull/3403)). + +* Mix session agreement was improved by only considering a mixing identity's most recent key exchange messages
