Hi everyone,
This is what we've been up to during July and August!
Snowflake =========
* Adjusted Snowflake session layer parameters for better performance.
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf...
* Added support for an AMP cache rendezvous to Snowflake. It is not being used yet, but is available if needed as an alternative to domain fronting rendezvous.
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf...
* Updated the web proxy for new browser requirements.
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf...
* Made the Snowflake client accept configuration in the form of SOCKS arguments (in preference to command-line options). This makes it easier to control the configuration in frontends such as Tor Browser's.

* Assign proxies based on their client load
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowf...
* Wait pollInterval in snowflake between proxy offers
