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

[Damian Johnson]

Oooh summer. Pollen scratching my eyes and a fiery ball of death hellbent on
frying me. We oughta nuke the sun! Teach that lazy, freeloading ball of plasma
who's boss. Just think of all the savings on air conditioning!

In those rare moments not staving off heat stroke I spent much of this month
visiting family, and just a tad on code...

* Stem 1.2.0 introduced a couple version compatibility regressions, the first
  with python 3.x [1] and another with python 2.6 [2]. Both received hotfixes,
  bumping us now to version 1.2.2.

* Karsten and I discussed a Python rewrite of ExoneraTor at length [3]. While
  this would be a pretty fun and interesting project, its relative impact
  compared to other things I have in the works right now isn't especially
  high.

* Reviewed Stem usage in Kai's DetecTor project. [4]

Recently I shifted my focus back to arm. I've been truly impressed at the
level of interest in it on IRC! New arm users are appearing almost daily,
and I owe them a shiny new release!
