---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Erinn Clark <erinn(a)torproject.org> Date: Mon, Aug 27, 2012 at 9:55 AM Subject: new stable TBBs available for testing To: Mike Perry <mikeperry(a)torproject.org> Cc: runa(a)torproject.org, tor-assistants(a)lists.torproject.org Notable updates are Firefox (10.0.7esr) and libevent (2.0.20-stable). I don't know if we have any Windows testers -- when I last looked at the QA list it was all Linux testers -- but if we do they might want to pay more attention since this version of Libevent fixes some Windows-specific bugs (changelog here: https://raw.github.com/libevent/libevent/release-2.0.20-stable/ChangeLog) Please also make sure that the right version of Libevent is included and running in every bundle, since there is Makefile magic that tells Tor to rebuild against new versions of Libevent and OpenSSL automatically. Testers can verify this in the Message Log of Vidalia. Packages here: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/stable/ Shasums here: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/stable/shasums-0.2.2.38-2.txt.asc Turnaround time: I don't expect any major problems and plan to release within the next 24 hours. Feel free to just forward this wholesale to the list or rewrite portions, especially you, Mike, in case you have specific Firefox-related issues. Thanks! Erinn

Stable TBB QA v2.2.38-1
by Mike Perry 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

We've got another TBB stable release. This one only updates the Tor binary to 0.2.2.38 without any other substantial changes. As such, we're just going to ask for a quick 24 hour test before we publish it at around this time tomorrow. A simple "It works for me on platform X" is good enough for this one, I think. You can get the binaries + signed SHA sums here: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/stable/ -- Mike Perry

TBB-alpha QA v2.3.20-alpha-1
by Mike Perry 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Hi everyone! We have new bundles available with a Tor release candidate (0.2.3.20-rc) and new Tor Browser Bundles with a Firefox crash fix applied. Please try to give us feedback within the next 36 hours at a maximum, but we'd sincerely appreciate feedback before that because we really want to get the release candidate widely tested as soon as possible. Windows testing is especially important, as the 0.2.3.x tor client has not had very much exposure to that platform yet. You can find the alpha bundles themselves for Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows at: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/alpha/torbrowser/ In the parent directory you can also find an obfsproxy build, which would also be useful to report feedback for: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/alpha/obfsproxy/ You have until Aug 9th 2012 13:00 UTC to test and report back before we commit to releasing the current build. As this deadline approaches, if you notice a particular platform that hasn't been tested, please give it a quick spin if you can. Please email this list directly with results or if you have any questions. Keep in mind that an email saying "I tested TBB on Debian Wheezy and found no bugs" is just as useful as a list of issues. I think my own personal favorite response format so far was: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-qa/2012-June/000004.html but as always feel free to innovate and improve on that. Note: I'm pretty sure we don't need your specific CPU string, only x86 vs x64. For testing ideas, see the BuildSignoff wiki page and the TBB design document for information about different types of tests you can perform: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/build/BuildSignoff#Docume… https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#Testing In particular, the crash bug from the last alpha appeared on http://ip-check.info/ and http://news.bbc.co.uk. Thank you for helping us make the Tor Browser Bundle better. Again, please don't hesitate to email if you have questions. If you have any suggestions on things we can do better, please let me know. -- Mike Perry
