Yeah, there is the maintenance, but mostly that would be a matter of following what Google does with their maintenance and importing it. The changes would be quite contained, I think. I'm going to push HTTP proxies with Tor devs again, that's really the best outcome I think: make an HTTP proxy as a first class access method for Tor. Then all the APIs will just work with it, and Orbot can remove all the hacks to support HTTP proxies. .hc _______________________________________________ List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev To unsubscribe, email: guardian-dev-unsubscr...@lists.mayfirst.org
