Hello devs,
I just released DescripTor 1.2.0:
https://dist.torproject.org/descriptor/1.2.0/
- From the change log:
# Changes in version 1.2.0 - 2016-05-31
* Medium changes - Include the hostname in directory source entries of consensuses and votes. - Also accept \r\n as newline in Torperf results files. - Make unrecognized keys of Torperf results available together with the corresponding values, rather than just the whole line. - In Torperf results, recognize all percentiles of expected bytes read for 0 <= x <= 100 rather than just x = { 10, 20, ..., 90 }. - Rename properties for overriding default descriptor source implementation classes. - Actually return the signing key digest in network status votes. - Parse crypto parts in network status votes. - Document all public parts in org.torproject.descriptor and add an Ant target to generate Javadocs.
* Minor changes - Include a Torperf results line with more than one unrecognized key only once in the unrecognized lines. - Make "consensus-methods" line optional in network statuses votes, which would mean that only method 1 is supported. - Stop reporting "-----END .*-----" lines in directory key certificates as unrecognized. - Add code used for benchmarking.
In particular the full rewrite of Javadocs was painful but hopefully useful to people here, not necessarily just DescripTor users but anyone working with Tor network data. Here's the compiled web version until DescripTor has its own website:
https://people.torproject.org/~karsten/volatile/descriptor-docs-2016-05-31/
Many thanks to iwakeh for helping with most of these changes!
All the best, Karsten
Hi Karsten, congrats on the release! I gotta admit, first thing I wondered when I saw this was 'what is DescripTor and why does it have a name that will be so easily confused with the documents it fetches?'.
Quick peek at the readme seems to indicate this is the DirPort fetching capabilities of metrics-lib? Is this an effort to slit metrics-lib up into smaller libraries?
Cheers! -Damian

Oh, it always had two names, metrics-lib and DescripTor. We have been referring to it as DescripTor lately, that's why I used that name in the announcement. But it's the same thing.

No, same thing. The DirPort fetching in DescripTor/metrics-lib is actually something that doesn't work so well, which is why CollecTor uses its own code for that. There are no plans to split up metrics-lib at this point.
All the best, Karsten

Ahhhh! Gotcha. For what it's worth metrics-lib strikes me as a much better name...
* That's what most things I'm aware of refer to. Its git repo, our descriptor parser comparison table, etc. An alternate name is kinda confusing.
* Names are often written in lowercase (import statements, etc) so DescripTor becomes descriptor, the thing it's fetching. That's kinda confusing.
Anyway, just food for thought. Besides the tarball name I'm not spotting much use of the DescripTor name so it could be pretty easy to standardize on metrics-lib if you wanted.
Cheers! -Damian

- In Torperf results, recognize all percentiles of expected bytes read for 0 <= x <= 100 rather than just x = { 10, 20, ..., 90 }.
Currently a Torperf descriptor contains values for DATAPERC10, DATAPERC20 etc. Will that change and if yes, how? If e.g. it changes to something like DATAPERC01, DATAPERC02, DATAPERC03 etc., will all archived descriptors be newly generated to reflect the new format?
Cheers Thomas

IIRC, OnionPerf generates DATAPERC0 and DATAPERC100 in addition to DATAPERC10 to DATAPERC90. Current descriptors produced by Torperf will remain unchanged, and I don't expect new fields DATAPERC1 or DATAPERC01 to be added soon.
