New Firefox 17.0.10esr stable and RC TBBs
by Erinn Clark 10 Nov '13

10 Nov '13

Hey everyone! New TBB time. These have the latest Firefox 17.0.10esr. You may also notice that the formerly alpha, formerly beta bundles are now called "rc". This is because the TBB 3.0 bundles are moving into their beta stage and we're trying to avoid confusion, at least among more casual users. :) Here are the changelogs for these: https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbrowser.git/blob/HEAD:/changelog.linux-2.3 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbrowser.git/blob/HEAD:/changelog.linux-2.4 Packages: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/stable/ff-17.0.10esr/ sha256sums: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/stable/ff-17.0.10esr/sha256sums-ff-… Turnaround: 24h Thanks! Erinn

2.4.17-beta-2-obfs-flash1 (obfuscated flash proxy) bundles
by David Fifield 31 Oct '13

31 Oct '13

Hello testers, I have here a first test release of new "obfs-flash" bundles. What's different about these is that when you use flash proxy in these bundles, the payloads of the WebSocket messages will be obfuscated with obfs3 (you will see it called "obfs3_flashproxy" in torrc). It's part of a big project we've had to combine different transports together, one you can read about in ticket #7167. https://people.torproject.org/~dcf/pt-bundle/2.4.17-beta-2-obfs-flash1/ There is a known problem with this set of bundles on Windows. On Windows, some transport processes (obfsproxy.exe and flashproxy-client.exe) will continue running after you exit Tor and Vidalia. You have to open the Task Manager and kill those processes before running the bundle again. Read more about it here and in following comments: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/10006#comment:5 This problem was unexpected and will take some time to fix, but we are working on it. If you are testing on Windows, remember to kill any remaining obfsproxy.exe and flashproxy-client.exe processes after exiting the bundle. GNU/Linux and Mac OS X should work fine. Because of the problem in the previous paragraph, this build isn't going to be released except to testers. But since GNU/Linux and Mac OS X should work, we are interested in getting some early feedback. The bundles are configured to start obfs2, obfs3, and obfs3_flashproxy transports. obfs2 and obfs3 are the same as in previous releases and don't need any special testing. If you want to test obfs3_flashproxy specifically, you should comment out all the Bridge obfs2 Bridge obfs3 lines, and leave the one line Bridge obfs3_flashproxy David Fifield
