Hi all. Though April had a bit of stem work the month was mostly gobbled up by the chaos that is GSoC. I never cease to be amazed at how much time orchestrating it takes, but enough of that. Other tasks from last month included…
Improved Stem’s Site
- Added a change log for user facing improvements
- Added a FAQ, suggestions for more entries welcome! (ticket)
- Improved navigability via a css style navbar menu (ticket)
- Site logo and faveicon
- Thanks to Dererk stem is now in Debian, and will soon be in Fedora too thanks to Juan
- Put stem on tor’s front page to improve discoverability
General Stem Improvements
- Overhaul for a large part of our testing framework, run_tests.py in particular was in need of a rewrite
- Fix for broken process renaming (patch from ragwater, ticket)
- We now have a custom :trac: and :spec: role for Sphinx (patch from ragwater, ticket)
- ATTACHSTREAM provided an unexpected 555 response (caught thanks to a cypherpunks, ticket)
- Added support for the ADDRMAP event’s new CACHED attribute
- Looked into anomalous bridge-ip-transports lines in the consensus, turned out to be from an unmerged tor patch running on George’s relay
