(partial) New stable & beta TBBs with Firefox 17.0.9esr for testing (Linux & Windows only)
by Erinn Clark 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

Hello everyone! I have some new TBBs to be tested. The OSX build machine is offline so those aren't ready yet, but the Linux and Windows ones are available. The main difference is these is that they have the latest Firefox 17.0.9esr, which has a bunch of security fixes. Also, previously we only had linker hardening for Tor, so I've fixed that in both the stable and beta bundles. The beta bundles also have a new HTTPS Everywhere that doesn't go berserk with OCSP requests. Packages: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/stable/ff-17.0.9esr/ sha256sums: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/stable/ff-17.0.9esr/sha256sums-ff-1… Turnaround: 24h I'll send along the OSX bundles as soon as I have them. Thanks! Erinn

Changes to the mailing list permissions
by Erinn Clark 01 Sep '13

01 Sep '13

Hello everyone! I recently became the list admin for this list and while reviewing information about membership I discovered that nearly everyone who was subscribed was automatically receiving the 'moderated' flag, so that any posts that were sent would be sent to moderation for manual approval. I have since removed that flag from all subscribers, so if you felt discouraged from posting before because of it, I hope you will stop feeling that way now. :) I'd love to have more people testing stuff and letting us know how it works, especially those of you who are on Windows and OSX. Thanks! Erinn
