[tor-reports] Georg's June 2014

[Georg Koppen]

Hi,

this month I continued working on hardened TBBs which are now including
undefined behavior checks and virtual table verification (VTV)[1][2]. On
the Torbutton side I spent another time on the problem resizing the
browser window size on start-up properly[3]. And, as a final highlight:
as Firefox ESR 31 is coming soon I started looking into possible issues
with our currently used toolchains in our Gitian builds[4].

Moreover, I did the following; I:

-created a debug build for OS X to find the reason for intermittently
happening crashes[5]
-worked on getting HTTPS-Everywhere to behave deterministically when
built[6]
-removed superfluous PT debug files[7]
-fixed broken Gitian nightly builds[8]
-started investigating intermittently failing Gitian nightly builds[9]
-worked on fixing start-up hangs and hangs on New Identity[10]
-investigated ASan builds crashing on tweakers.net[11]
-looked at a bunch of UBSan errors which are showing up when running
the hardened builds[12]
-reviewed and merged code[13][14][15][16][17][18]
-triaged bugs[19][20][21][22][23][24]
