As per my grant conditions, here is a report for the May period.
I spent the month working on two bugs: making sv_clear() non-recursive when freeing HVs (so that freeing deeply-nested structures doesn't crash), and making formats safe from SEGVs under various edge conditions.
Over the last month I have averaged 13 hours per week.
As of 2011/05/31: since the beginning of the grant:
64.5 weeks
754.4 total hours
11.7 average hours per week
There are 146 hours left on the grant.
