In January I: - Spent more time than I would have wanted dealing with snow.
- Prioritized tickets for 0.2.6, and worked to try to resolve as many outstanding 0.2.6 issues as possible, including ones related to hidden service stability and performance, and testing in tor. - Tickets I fixed include 9286, 9819, 14128, 12485, 13762, 7555 (needed lots of new testing), 9262, zlib-related OOM issues, systemd build issues, 14285. - I implemented proposal 227 to help the TB team do update-checking. - Released new libevent versions including a patch for a possible security issue (which does not affect Tor) - Taught a journalist a bit about ECC and a lot about what's known (and not known) about NSA chicanery wrt NIST standards. - Co-wrote proposals 239 (consensus hash chaining), 240 (early signing key revocation for directory authorities), and 241 (Resisting guard-turnover attacks). - Reviewed and merged numerous patches from numbers paid and volunteer hackers. - Planned a redesign of chutney for greater flexibility and coverage of more tools. - Chatted with Yawning about desirable properties for a TLS replacement; started drafting some. - Worked with folks around the office to try to find out their questions were blocking questions, and expedited getting answers for those. - Helped interview some candidates for the PM position. - Began to prepare for an 0.2.6.3-alpha release. _______________________________________________ tor-reports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-reports
