What happened to last year's GSOC submissions?

[Elias Mårtenson]

Last year, there was a lot of activity surrounding two really interesting projects: One about improving the AEM feature, and another which was about being able to mark downloaded files as insecure so that they can be opened in a DVM.

When reading the posts about it, it seemed to me that these projects were pretty much completed. When can we hope to see them in Qubes 4?

Regards,
Elias

I assume that Marek has simply been even more busy than usual, left
with no time for code review of peripheral components. Fingers crossed
that things will quiet down a bit once R4.0 final is released (and
some new bugs shaken out by the wider user base are dealt with).

Has there been any updates to this since the last time it was discussed?

Thanks for your reply. But I was asking about last year's submission. As far a I know there was work done on two features, and it seemed they were pretty much finished. But I don't think they're available in Qubes yet.

Not sure about the status of MIME handlers project [1] as I have not
switched to Qubes 4.0 yet.

My AEM improvements [2][3] are already available [4] in Qubes 4.0
stable repository. Qubes 3.2 dom0 Fedora version lacks some
dependencies, so it is not available there.

Cheers,
Patrik

Oops, sorry for the misunderstanding.

Hm, yes, both of these were removed from the GSoC page as completed:

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-doc/commit/13f66bce387c850b0aedc8c5f9d87abce5775299

This looks like the issue for the second one you mentioned:

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/441

However, I don't see an issue for the AEM feature.

Marek, can you provide any more information?
