27 Jan '19

Hello! Tor Browser 8.5a7 is ready for testing. Bundles can be found at: https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/builds/8.5a7-build3/ This new Tor Browser version picks up Firefox security bug fixes coming with Firefox 60.5.0esr and ships the first alpha in Tor's 0.4.1 series, 0.4.0.1-alpha. This release also features a lot of improvements regarding our branding. We ship our new Tor Browser logo for the first time in a release build on desktop platforms and are eager to learn about bugs and … [View More]general feedback. Thanks for Antonela and Richard working on this! Additionally, we fixed a number of crashes noticed in previous releases (WebGL crashed on some Windows machines[1], the print dialog on some Linux systems[2], and downloading files on some Android devices[3]). Note: While the Windows binary files built on different machines are the same, the resulting .exe files seem to differ building with tbb-8.5a7-build3. We are still investigating the cause for this and hope to have this fixed in the final release.[4] The full changelog since 8.5a6 is: Tor Browser 8.5a7 -- January 29 2019 * All Platforms * Update Firefox to 60.5.0esr * Update Torbutton to 2.1.4 * Bug 25702: Update Tor Browser icon to follow design guidelines * Bug 21805: Add click-to-play button for WebGL * Bug 28836: Links on about:tor are not clickable * Bug 29035: Clean up our donation campaign and add newsletter sign-up link * Translations update * Code clean-up * Update HTTPS Everywhere to 2019.1.7 * Update NoScript to 10.2.1 * Bug 28873: Cascading of permissions is broken * Bug 28720: Some videos are blocked outright on higher security levels * Bug 29082: Backport patches for bug 1469916 * Bug 28711: Backport patches for bug 1474659 * Bug 27828: "Check for Tor Browser update" doesn't seem to do anything * Bug 29028: Auto-decline most canvas warning prompts again * Bug 27597: Fix our debug builds * Windows * Update Tor to 0.4.0.1-alpha * Bug 25702: Activity 1.1 Update Tor Browser icon to follow design guidelines * Bug 28111: Use Tor Browser icon in identity box * Bug 22654: Firefox icon is shown for Tor Browser on Windows 10 start menu * Bug 27503: Compile with accessibility support * Bug 28874: Bump mingw-w64 commit to fix WebGL crash * Bug 28546: Rebrand Tor Browser's Window's Installer * Bug 12885: Windows Jump Lists fail for Tor Browser * Bug 28618: Set MOZILLA_OFFICIAL for Windows build * OS X * Update Tor to 0.4.0.1-alpha * Bug 25702: Activity 1.1 Update Tor Browser icon to follow design guidelines * Bug 28111: Use Tor Browser icon in identity box * Linux * Update Tor to 0.4.0.1-alpha * Bug 25702: Activity 1.1 Update Tor Browser icon to follow design guidelines * Bug 28111: Use Tor Browser icon in identity box * Bug 27531: Fix crashing print dialog * Android * Bug 28705: Fix download crash on newer Android devices * Bug 28814: Backport 1480079 to allow installing downloaded apps * Build System * All Platforms * Bug 29158: Install updated apt packages (CVE-2019-3462) * Bug 29097: Don't try to install python3.6-lxml for HTTPS Everywhere * Windows * Bug 26148: Update binutils to 2.31.1 * Bug 29081: Harden libwinpthread * Linux * Bug 26148: Update binutils to 2.31.1 * Android * Bug 28752: Don't download tor-android-binary resources during build Georg [1] https://bugs.torproject.org/28874 [2] https://bugs.torproject.org/27531 [3] https://bugs.torproject.org/28705 [4] https://bugs.torproject.org/29185 [View Less]
