Hi all. As is often the case work and such meant not too much time for tor. For September all I have to report is…
- Network Status Document Parsing
This has been my main focus for September and it’s still not finished… but it’s close! Version 3 document parsing just has a couple days of work left, then abstracting it to cover v2 documents and microdescriptors should be relatively easy-ish. I’m really looking forward to merging this feature branch. It has grown quite monstrous…
- Stem Documentation Hosting
For a while now I’ve had a TODO item for making a nightly cron that built and hosted Stem’s new sphinx documentation. I was about to do this when I recalled that meejah once recommended ReadTheDocs, a service that does… well, exactly that. After a few minor bumps (1, 2, 3) it’s now live…
We definitely need to put effort into making them more reader friendly. At present it’s just a dump of all the pydocs which, while informative, is actually a bit overwhelming for new users. Module summary pages would greatly help.
- MAPADDRESS Support
Ravi submitted a patch for adding MAPADDRESS support to stem’s controller. It’s a nice addition, especially the integ test.
- Arm Issues
Looked into a couple arm issues…
- Tor’s start time didn’t show up if the system has proc contents but we fail to parse it (ticket).
- Can’t connect when using a control socket with password auth (ticket).
- Updated Dev Wiki
In response to a potential volunteer I wrote a summary of several development tasks. Updated stem’s wiki with what was in that email.
