Hi all. This is a little early but considering the time sink GSoC has been I doubt I’ll get much more done, so here’s my status report for May. The few stem tasks I’ve snuck in included…
- Added Ubuntu and Fedora to our download page, Fedora package is thanks to Juan Orti
- Several testing fixes so our Jenkins tests runs now pass
- The Controller mangled non-unicode descriptor content when using python 3.x (caught thanks to aj00200, #8755)
- Expanded our client usage tutorial to use SocksiPy and include an example for polling Twitter (thanks to Ashish)
- Integ tests now assert ownership on the tor process (patch by Jeremy Kushner, #8634)
- The DescriptorReader mishandled relative paths (patch from Kostas, #8815)
- Fix so the Controller cache is thread safe (patch by Akshit, #8607)
- Running our integ tests littered the /tmp directory (patch by Ashish, #8622)
- Improvements so we use the staticmethod decorator and new style exception catching (patches from Sean, #8824 and #8823)
