tjr - FYI: the e10s pref has died in 68, you need to use an env var now: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548941 - Landed a HiDPI patch for pdfs in -central. Can anyone with hardware double check it works and I'll request backport? (pospeselr: tjr is there a linux build available with the patch applied? If not I can spin up a build locally but will take longer ;) ) (tjr: https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2019/08/2019-08-02-09-48-35-... ) (pospeselr: looks good to me: https://share.riseup.net/#fb7XRE1cWIfh-Xns08EDGQ latest stable on the left, alpha build on the right) (\o/)

- For future reference: a) From the bug, look for a comment with a mozilla-central link like https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/85385b4957e3 b) From there, there are lines containing 'first release with' and 'first release without' c) The 'files' link on that will take you to the Nightly build directory - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1537955 -

sisbell: Last Week: - Orbot project made a lot of commits over the last week. Went through July/Aug commit and made updates to tor-android-service (branch 0801a) - Changes also include updates to include x86_64 and armv8 support for new version of tor browser. - Prepared (will submit shortly, needs a little more testing) PR to Orbot. These includes changes to keep project in sync - Updated tor-browser-build for new commit of tor-android-service This Week - Create gradle flavors to further isolate Orbot VPN code from the code we need (this deals with some firing of intents we don’t need for VPN). This will mean we shouldn’t require any patches in the future. - Start applying previous esr60 patches to esr68
