[tor-project] Sukhbir's July 2017

[Sukhbir Singh]

Hi,

In July, I worked on the following:

* Tor Messenger
    
    - Completed the transition to ESR52 including switching to the new build
      system that uses runc, and rebasing the patches. We are now building on
      Tor Browser tag tor-browser-52.2.0esr-7.0-1-build1.

        https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-messenger-build.git/log/?h=esr52

    We are now reusing most of the build components from Tor Browser thanks to
    the power of rbm!

    - This month, the focus is to pick tickets that we think are critical and
      then close them before the end of the month, working towards the 0.5.0b1
      release.

* TorBirdy

    Prepared and tested TorBirdy release 0.2.3 that will be released in the
    coming week.
