[tor-dev] Damian's Status Report - May 2014

[Damian Johnson]

Hi all, this month was focused on work leading up to today's Stem 1.2.0
release. The control interpreter in particular turned out extremely well,
so if you haven't tried it yet then please check it out!

Besides implementing and writing a tutorial for the interpreter this involved
addressing a host of other issues that had accumulated in trac. By far the
most important was an issue where Stem spawned Tor instances would halt due
to unread stdout content (#9862).

Last, I looked over the code of several new Stem users this month and added
them to our examples page...

  * Whonix (https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2014-May/006799.html)
  * Kostas' torsearch (https://github.com/wfn/torsearch)

Cheers! -Damian
