Features

Removal of OS security dialog for Windows

Owner: Brian

• Implemented all of security's new bugs
• Been getting reviews reposted for r?
• Everything is r+ except libmar right now, I will be implementing bsmith's review comments today. But this is not a requirement for landing and we will land with it disabled anyway, I think it should still be r+ though since it is in my patch queue before other things.
• I'm not sure if there are test requirements for landing on m-c. I have been too busy to do unit tests but can focus on these very soon.
• I need to do a minor fix before landing to get the tests working again (some of the security stuff caused the tests to fail, I hope for that to be done today)
• There was an update issue with Ehsan's test package from Joe Drew which I haven't looked into yet. But it was a VM and when the laptop was closed. I don't think this is a stopper for landing.
• Need testing feedback.
