Hi Karsten, congrats on the release! I gotta admit, first thing I wondered when I saw this was 'what is DescripTor and why does it have a name that will be so easily confused with the documents it fetches?'.
Oh, it always had two names, metrics-lib and DescripTor. We have been referring to it as DescripTor lately, that's why I used that name in the announcement. But it's the same thing.
Quick peek at the readme seems to indicate this is the DirPort fetching capabilities of metrics-lib? Is this an effort to slit metrics-lib up into smaller libraries?
No, same thing. The DirPort fetching in DescripTor/metrics-lib is actually something that doesn't work so well, which is why CollecTor uses its own code for that. There are no plans to split up metrics-lib at this point.
All the best, Karsten
Cheers! -Damian

I just released DescripTor 1.2.0:
https://dist.torproject.org/descriptor/1.2.0/
From the change log:
# Changes in version 1.2.0 - 2016-05-31
- Medium changes - Include the hostname in directory source entries
of consensuses and votes. - Also accept \r\n as newline in Torperf results files. - Make unrecognized keys of Torperf results available together with the corresponding values, rather than just the whole line. - In Torperf results, recognize all percentiles of expected bytes read for 0 <= x <= 100 rather than just x = { 10, 20, ..., 90 }. - Rename properties for overriding default descriptor source implementation classes. - Actually return the signing key digest in network status votes. - Parse crypto parts in network status votes. - Document all public parts in org.torproject.descriptor and add an Ant target to generate Javadocs.
- Minor changes - Include a Torperf results line with more than one
unrecognized key only once in the unrecognized lines. - Make "consensus-methods" line optional in network statuses votes, which would mean that only method 1 is supported. - Stop reporting "-----END .*-----" lines in directory key certificates as unrecognized. - Add code used for benchmarking.
In particular the full rewrite of Javadocs was painful but hopefully useful to people here, not necessarily just DescripTor users but anyone working with Tor network data. Here's the compiled web version until DescripTor has its own website:

Many thanks to iwakeh for helping with most of these changes!
All the best, Karsten
