I'm looking forward to soon meeting those of you I've not yet > had a chance to meet. > > > In November 2015, the following progress was made for Tor Bridge Distribution: > > * Several updates to BridgeDB's web interface > (https://bridges.torproject.org): > > - Mobile users, and other users with small screen pixel ratios, will find > that the UI of BridgeDB's HTTPS Distributor has greatly increased in > usability and readability. (https://bugs.torproject.org/16649) > > - BridgDB's web interface now features more user-friendly error pages, to > provide friendlier explanations for downtime, missing pages, and internal > server errors. For example: https://bridges.torproject.org/404 > > - Distribution of obfs2 bridges is now disabled. This pluggable transport > has known distiguishers which allow adversaries to identify client > connections to obfs2 bridges, which in turn allows these connections to > be blocked/censored. With numerous obfs3 and obfs4 bridges both readily > available, users should not be presented with an easily-configurable > choice that is known to be unsafe for the majority of > users. (https://bugs.torproject.org/14685) > > * BridgeDB's backend parsers for Tor server descriptors have been entirely > revamped. > > - BridgeDB is now using a commonly-maintained library, called Stem, for Tor > relay descriptor parsing. (https://bugs.torproject.org/9380) > > - The HSDir flag can now be included within bridge-networkstatus documents. > BridgeDB now has unittests which guarantee that its parsers safely ignore > this flag, as well as any flags unknown to BridgeDB which may appear in > the future. (https://bugs.torproject.org/16616) > > - BridgeDB's parsers have been improved to handle new Tor relay Ed25519 > identity and signing keys. (https://bugs.torproject.org/16630) > > * BridgeDB's production server has been migrated to new hardware. > (https://bugs.torproject.org/14797) > > * Translations for the following languages have been updated: English > (en_US), English (en), Serbian (sr), Arabic (ar), Catalan (ca), Czech (cs), > Danish (da), German (de), English (en_GB), Farsi (fa), Finish (fi), French > (fr), French (fr_CA), Croatian (hr_HR), Hungarian (hu), Indonesian (id), > Italian (it), Japanese (ja), Latvian (lv), Norwegian Bokmål (nb), Dutch > (nl), Polish (pl), Portuguese (pt), Brazillian Portuguese (pt_BR), Romanian > (ro), Russian (ru), Slovak (sk_SK), Albanian (sq), Swedish (sv), Turkish > (tr), Ukranian (uk), Chinese Mandarin (zh_CN), and Taiwanese Mandarin > (zh_TW). > > * Numerous improvements to BridgeDB's developer documentation, currently > located at https://pythonhosted.org/bridgedb > > > Best Regards, > -- > ♥Ⓐ isis agora lovecruft > _________________________________________________________ > OpenPGP: 4096R/0A6A58A14B5946ABDE18E207A3ADB67A2CDB8B35 > Current Keys: https://blog.patternsinthevoid.net/isis.txt
