Marco's Status Report August 2022
by msim 06 Sep '22

06 Sep '22

Hi - here's my monthly status report for August 2022 So this month my goal was to get WebRTC building and running for S131, and I got halfway there! WebRTC is now building locally, and I will be migrating my changes on top of the base-browser branch soon. Why halfway? On the 12th of August a family emergency resulted in me effectively not being able to work for 2.5 weeks, and I ended up finishing getting WebRTC building at the end of the month. Getting WebRTC running is my top priority for September (which from what I've done so far looks like it should be swiftly done), and then getting onto a few to-do tickets :) -Marco

PieroV's Monthly Status Report, August 2022
by Pier Angelo Vendrame 01 Sep '22

01 Sep '22

Hi everyone! Here is my status report for August 2022. This month I worked mainly on the Tor Browser switch from 91.x ESR to 102.x ESR. At the beginning of the month, I continued reviewing the rebase I started at the end of July [0]. Then, I focused on updating our toolchains, which took me two weeks. I first found some issues with rustc (the most problematic one was that it got stuck while compiling Firefox on Debian Jessie [1]; I resolved it by enabling jemalloc). I took the occasion to make rustc reuse the LLVM tools we have already been building instead of building them again to shorten the process [2]. Another massive change is that we use only Clang to build Windows binaries (almost: rustc needs to link libgcc, and NSIS has an assembly module that only GCC and MASM can compile) [3]. The next step was some maintenance on the existing code. I linted all our patches, thanks to which we found some minor fixes [4]. It was propedeutic to move tor-launcher and torbutton to the main Tor Browser patchset [5]. I have also started working on it but then stopped to fix the issues Richard found when auditing Firefox closed tickets. In particular, this week, I have been analyzing new problems related to fingerprinting through fonts [6]. We are finally close to building the first Tor Browser alpha based on 102.2 ESR (12.0a2) for desktop and Android, too! Please, consider testing it and sending us feedback! Thanks, Pier [0] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/40730 [1] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/issues/4… [2] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/issues/4… [3] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/issues/2… and linked issues [4] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/40012 [5] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/merge_requests… [6] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/41116

Monthly Localization Hangout Tomorrow from 12UTC onwards
by emma peel 18 Aug '22

18 Aug '22

Just a note to remind you that..... Tomorrow we hang out! Every 3rd Friday of the month the Tor L10n Team meets to translate together, share tricks, have fun while translating, meet fellow translators, and find out about the l10n priorities for the Tor Project. We will talk about transifex tricks to save time and translate more easily (recover similar strings, raw editor, concordance search). Come join us on the Localization Hangout, from Noon UTC, on the #tor-l10n channel in OFTC. (you can also use Element https://element.io/ to connect: #tor-l10n:matrix.org). We start around noon UTC on irc, and at 13UTC we have a video call. More information: https://community.torproject.org/localization/hangouts/ Be there or be... in English! :D emmapeel Localization Coordinator Tor Project
