v3.14.0

This is what changed since v3.14.0-beta:

  • πŸ› fix(oonimkall): ensure we can submit last measurement 018b5de

  • πŸ› [backport] fix(ndt7): force our bundled CA pool 7aa0b5a

  • πŸ› fix(netxlite): hotfix for Android EAI_NODATA 2b48dcf

These are the most important changes since v3.13.0:

  • ✨ We refactored the way in which ooniprobe list works to ensure that it does not use nested queries. This improvement made ooniprobe list significantly faster (around 7x in our testing).

  • ✨ The torsf experiment is now part of ooniprobe run experimental. Note: if you are packaging ooniprobe, you need to make sure the package depends on tor, because torsf assumes the tor binary is installed on the system.

  • ✨ We improved the Go rewrite of the Web Connectivity test helper and we're starting to roll it out (which may have some impact on the measurements quality: the new implementation should work ~better with ooniprobe 3.x).

  • ✨ We improved iplookup by adding support for using Cloudflare to lookup the IP address of a probe.

  • ✨ We're now annotating measurements with the probe's architecture.

  • πŸ› Fixed dnscheck integration with ooniprobe run experimental: now ooni/probe-desktop is able to run dnscheck as part of experimental smoothly (while integration was more complex with release/3.13).

  • πŸ› Fixedstunreachability integration with ooniprobe run experimental: running stunreachability now records the URL we test.

  • πŸ› Fixed ndt so that it works on old Android devices whose CA bundle is now very outdated (e.g., Android 6) https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/commit
    /7aa0b5abedf658b6876ce265588ef25afd202217.

  • πŸ› We bumped psiphon timeout to 300 seconds to better investigate issues in bootstrapping (the previous timeout, 60 s, was considered to be too short according to Psiphon developers).

  • πŸ› We disable the riseupvpn experiment this release, following reports of false positives, and we're working to make it more robust.

  • πŸ› Fixed DNS lookup on Android devices 2b48dcf.

  • 🚨 We modified stunreachability to expect input to be an URL like stun://1.2.3.4:567

  • 🚧 We improved web_connectivity by making some heuristics dealing with the status code more robust.

  • 🚧 We rewrote the tor experiment to use more modern networking abstractions and we've removed previous abstractions (this should be kept in mind; we tested and are satisfied, but still this change could cause some differences).

  • 🚧 We moved the scripts to package for debian to https://github.com/ooni/probe-releases.

  • 🚧 We added support for experiments returning more than one measurement per input, which is required by websteps (the replacement for web_connectivity on which we're working).

  • 🚧 We now have a new policy for experiments "or_static_default" that allows us to statically vendor a test list for experiments such as stunreachability or dnscheck for which there is currently no backend support.

  • 🚧 We wrote a new implementation of websteps, called webstepsx, which is going to be the prototype that we'll keep updating (the previous implementation, named websteps, has now been deprecated).

  • 🚧 We added the new internal/measurex package, which shall be the underlying library used by websteps, and wrote a tutorial about it.

  • 🚧 We refactored common data types into the internal/model package to better isolate packages from each other.

  • 🚧 We updated dependencies and we're now using go1.17.6.
