# Activities of September 2016

- Finished initial development of the prop224 ESTABLISH_INTRO
  branch. The branch is currently sitting in needs_review state at
  #19043. This is basically half of what's required to implement the
  whole relay-side of prop224, according to our implementation plan:

- While developing #19043, I needed some more methods out of trunnel. I
  submitted a feature request #20138, Nick implemented it instantly, and I
  reviewed it. It's now merged!
