ahf:
I'll be missing from the meeting today to celebrate May 1st, feel free to ask questions on IRC and I'll respond when I'm online again.
Last week:
Sponsor4: - Landed patches for new compression backend: #21662, #21663, #21664, #22066, and #22085. - Reviewed #22061, #22051, #21648, #22065, and #21646. - Fixed #21665, but the code have not landed yet. Misc: - Fixed minor build-system issue on OS X (bug #13802). This week:
Sponsor4 (ordered):
- Working on the last prop278 (for now?) bug: #21667
- Figure out what's next for Sponsor4 or help out with 0.3.1 bugs or XXX (depending on what is most urgent).
Misc:
- Coverity duty.
Nick: (I have a dentist appointment this morning; I think I'll be back to the meeting on time.) - Last week * Nearly done with prop140 stuff: diffs are generated and compressed and I have the code to serve them. * Also refactored some sucky APIs. directory_initiate_request_routerstatus_rend(), anyone? I think we should declare open season on any function taking more than 6 or 7 arguments. * Moved a bunch of stuff out of 0.3.1 based on triage * Released 0.3.0.6 (stable!) - This week * Catch up on hard design-y emails * Finish prop140 implementation (!!!1!) * Help ahf as needed with prop278 stuff. * Try the gitlab instace * Create a review-group * Review lots of stuff * UX-TorLauncher meeting later today
asn: Last week:
- Worked on #21859. Unittests mainly - Opened #22052 based on lessons from #21859.
- Implemented the ed25519 torsion validation at #22006. Branch is pushed and looks good, but it needs a bit more work needed before needs_review: Ian suggested we do this check for all network-received ed25519 keys, so I need to make sure I actually validate all of them.
- Opened #21969 but haven't had time to think about it.
- Started looking at guard discovery stuff again.
This week:
- Finalize #21859. Put it in needs_review. - Finalize #22006. Put it in needs_review. - More work on guard discovery.
Mike: Last week: - Did triage. Wasn't a whole lot to triage that week. - Updated #16861 some more for dgoulet; I have a question about a couple other bugs - Did a little more work on Sponsor2 stuff - Some coordination with Mozilla; some rusting This week: - Tor Launcher meeting and discussion - Sponsor2 work continues
dgoulet: Last week: - Worked on #20657 unit testing. Also, rebased that branch onto master resolving conflicts from the refactor of directory.c. - Final review and test of #16861 (mikeperry netflow). - Worked on #22060 which turns out to be a bit more tricky than expected. - Addressed asn's review for #21978. - Worked on random 031 tickets: #22042, #22034, #21715, #21293, - We got #13802 merged finally! Thanks to pastly and nickm's feedback! - We had some bad-relays business to take care of and help out a bit with asn on some next steps for Guard discovery stuff for HS.
This week: - Finishing test coverage of #20657 and prepare it for early 032 merge. - Integrate asn's work on circuit e2e #21859 with #20657. - Depending on the state of things for the prop224 service implementation, I might start the client implementation big branch!
catalyst: Last week:
* started sketching out new baseXX APIs that will be more robust and
less error-prone (#19531). e.g., given our calling patterns it
actually makes sense for encoding functions to return void, unless
they're allocating memory or lengths are variable. almost all of
our base32 and base16 uses involve fixed-size arrays, so having
assertions for length checks might actually be the right thing.
* did more analysis about PT arguments (#12930). filed #22088 with
proposed minor PT spec changes to mitigate this issue.
* looked at Tor Launcher usability stuff
This week:
* 15-minute fixes
* Tor Launcher usability meeting
* more digging into control port stuff and bootstrap progress
reporting to improve Tor Launcher usability
