Hi,

I have released metrics-lib 2.16.0.

metrics-lib, which also goes by the name DescripTor, is a Java API that fetches Tor descriptors from a variety of sources like cached descriptors and directory authorities/mirrors. The DescripTor API is useful to support statistical analysis of the Tor network data and for building services and applications.

This release is the sum of over 9 years of development, with the latest changes:

Medium changes * Parse new NAT-based Snowflake lines. * Added a new parser for the IP Fire GeoIP database files used in core Tor. * Tests now depend on objenesis 2.2 (previously 2.1).

Minor changes * A lib folder is now included in the source distribution and does not need to be created prior to using the ant resolve task.

You can find the release at:

Thanks, Iain.

P.S. the dates on the changelog and signatures will not be today, as the release was ready to go before my access was in place to upload the release, this is now fixed and future releases will be uploaded once they are available.
