Quick test of 3.0rc1 (esp Windows)
by Mike Perry 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

Can a few people do a quick test of the Windows builds of 3.0rc1: https://archive.torproject.org/tor-package-archive/torbrowser/3.0rc1/ We patched binutils for this release to fix a reproducibility issue, and it would be nice to verify everything is OK before release. Other reports are also helpful, of course. Here's the changelog: * All Platforms: * Update Firefox to 17.0.11esr * Update Tor to 0.2.4.18-rc * Remove unsupported PDF.JS addon from the bundle * Bug #7277: TBB's Tor client will now omit its timestamp in the TLS handshake. * Update Torbutton to 1.6.4.1 * Bug #10002: Make the TBB3.0 blog tag our update download URL for now * Windows * Bug #10102: Patch binutils to remove nondeterministic bytes in compiled binaries * Linux * Bug #10049: Fix architecture check to work from outside TBB's directory * Bug #10126: Remove libz and firefox-bin, and strip unstripped binaries * Misc: Disable Firefox updater during compile time (in addition to pref) -- Mike Perry

I can reproduce a crash of tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.4.18-rc-1-dev-en-US (10/10 times) simply by opening webtropia.com or also https://www.webtropia.com (I'm sorry for the "advertisement" here but I figured it might be useful for you to reproduce it) steps to reproduce 1) start tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.4.18-rc-1-dev-en-US 2) type "webtropia.com" into the urlbar and hit enter 3) wait for ~60 seconds -> crash I can't rule out active attack attempts so it might be a whise thing to use some throw-away VM for testing. Can anyone confirm this is happening also on your system? I can _not_ reproduce this crash with tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.4.17-rc-1-dev-en-US ps: sorry for breaking the thread but I subscribed just this moment

Test bundle with new OS X cross-compiler for ESR 24
by Georg Koppen 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

Hi, I could need some help testing an OS X bundle made with Gitian and the new cross-compiler for Firefox ESR24: https://people.torproject.org/~mikeperry/builds/3.5-alpha-1pre/TorBrowserBu… sha256sum fb67c1d1d47d8f3358231161fde27213920bf4659f228c9805c1e4b274a7145b Does the bundle start for you properly and can you visit a couple of websites? Which OS X version was used (I am interested in tests on all supported OS X versions ranging from 32bit 10.6.8-10.9)? Thanks, Georg

Fwd: [tor-talk] OSX sandbox available for tbb3 (10.9 only)
by Erinn Clark 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

Hi everyone! I know we have a few people on this list who use OSX 10.9 and also that many of you have been very helpful with testing lately. If you're bored with just running my fantastic bundles, this could be a new fun project for you to test. Andreas has made some sandbox profiles for OSX 10.9 + TBB 3.0 and it would be great if he could get some feedback on them. It doesn't need to be anything complex -- just "this makes my TBB behave funny in ways I don't understand" would be meaningful for a start. For anyone not yet on 10.9, I believe he will be working to extend the sandboxes to other versions soon. I'd really appreciate it if you could help him out! Feel free to follow up on list with questions or comments.

Currently, only OSX 10.9 is supported, but making it work all the way down to 10.6 is not unlikely. Downloads and uploads: only from your downloads-directory Stuff not working in this release: Flash You can get the release here: https://github.com/trams242/tor-browser-bundle The specific 'release' so to speak is available here: https://github.com/trams242/tor-browser-bundle/releases To use the release you will need to have TBB3 somewhere, i tested with TorBrowserBundle-3.0-beta-1-osx32_en-US.zip. Will probably not work with older releases. /andreas -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk(a)lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk ----- End forwarded message -----

New stable TBBs with Firefox 17.0.11esr
by Erinn Clark 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

Hello everyone! Some new bundles. We're waiting for a new release of Tor (0.2.4.18-rc) so the beta/rc bundles and TBB 3.0 bundles will come out after that, but for now here are the stable bundles. These include a path fix to make sure people on OS X Mavericks can find the geoip file. I'd appreciate any extra testing on OSX to confirm that it works for all versions. Otherwise, not a lot of changes here (besides new Firefox) so standard testing applies. I'll send another email when the 2.4.x bundles are out. Packages: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/stable/2.3.25-15/ sha256sums: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/stable/2.3.25-15/sha256sums-2.3.25-… Turnaround: 24h Thanks, hope you all have a nice weekend!

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!

Hello everyone, We've got a partially matching build for 3.0beta1: https://people.torproject.org/~linus/downloads/tbb-3.0-beta-1-f8998987409e2… Note that Windows has some minor issues related to https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/10026, but due to the need to get a 17.0.10esr release up ASAP, we may end up posting the bundles with a note about Windows reproducibility anyway.

Another interesting thing to note: About TorBrowser in the help menu opens a window that says "TorBrowser is designed by Tor Project, a global community working together to keep the Web open, public, and accessible to all. Sound interesting? Get invovled!" Tor Project, global community and Get involved are all hyperlinks to mozilla.org pages.
