[tor-dev] Damian's Status Report - August 2014

[Damian Johnson]

Hi all, getting my status report out of the way a tad early. Deadlines for my
day job at Amazon required working a weekend so April was mostly spent just
getting caught up on code reviewing contributions...

 * Nick Mathewson greatly improved Stem's performance at parsing consensus
   documents. Thanks Nick! (#12859)

 * Rewrote Nick Hopper's patch for verifying consensus signatures. I'd really
   love to merge it, but it needs tests first. (#11045)

 * Code reviewed federico3's addition of better Controller methods for
   handling hidden service config options. (#12533)

 * Fixed stylistic issues cited by the newly released pep8 1.5.7, and also
   corrected a handful of python 3.x test failures.

 * Code reviewed a BridgeDB change to take advantage of Stem for isis. (#9380)

 * GSoC finals are finished! This year had a lower pass rate than we usually
   do (four of our thirteen students didn't pass), but I don't think there's
   necessarily any lessons to draw.


This concludes my backlog of things I owe other people, so next up I'll
finally be getting back to arm development! -Damian
