Nina's Monthly Status Report, May 2022

Hi, everyone, This is my Status report for May 2022. As usual, I focused on user support for Russian users. - Telegram channel (@TorProjectSupportBot): 514 - Email (frontdesk@tpo): 188 Total: 702 tickets were successfully resolved. Also, in May, I took part in the "Become an Alpha Tester" campaign, helping with the English-to-Russian translation of social media texts like tweets[1], forum posts[2], and, also, user support templates[3]. Taking part in the campaign, I collected feedback from Russian-speaking alpha-testers, and I spotted a minor issue with the Help button[4]. And I also found a problem with some fonts in a stable version of the Tor Browser[5]. Due to retiring the old Zammad/cdr.link instance, I took part in testing the new one [6]. I added an article to the frontdesk with bridges for Turkmenistan as we started to get more requests about this country: https://metrics.torproject.org/userstats-bridge-combined.html?start=2022-03… As the Tor Project took part in the DemHack Hackathon in Russia, I translated a tweet for our account [7].

PieroV's Monthly Status Report, May 2022

Hi everyone! Here is my status report for May 2022. Part of my work this month was again on Android. I finally resolved the crash we had for a while [0] in 11.0.13, or so I hope 😁. So far, all users have told us that they do not encounter that problem anymore, so please let us know if it is not the case for you. I also helped prepare and release the two releases and the two alphas we had this month (11.0.12, 11.0.13, 11.5a10, and 11.5a12). Other improvements on my side are that now testbuilds are single architecture (so they are much faster to build) [1], and all the QA APKs we produce are now compatible with Android 10+ [2]. For desktop, I updated some of our patches to make them easier to upstream to Firefox, and I have already sent them to Mozilla [3]. Some were accepted, some are still being reviewed, and a pair was rejected. I also set everything up to include an offline copy of the Tor Browser manual in the bundle and accessible within the browser [4]. Finally, I fixed some minor issues on the work done in the previous months on the about:torconnect page and on the connection settings. Thanks, Pier [0] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/fenix/-/issues/40212 [1] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/issues/4… [2] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/fenix/-/issues/40202 [3] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/40917 [4] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/11698
