[ooni-dev] OONI status report for August 2014

[Arturo Filastò]

# Activities of August 2014

* Released ooniprobe v1.1.0

In this new release of ooniprobe we have added a new command line tool
for listing the reports that have not been published to a collector and
that allows the probe operator to choose which ones they would like to
upload.

We have also made some privacy improvements to the reports (we will
sanitize all things that may look like file paths) and added metadata
associated with the maxmind database being used by the probe operator.

For a more detailed list of bugs fixes and improvements see the
changelog entry for version 1.1.0:
