Hey y'all,
I have more bundles. It is very exciting.
Mike has been busting his ass preparing for the moment when Firefox 17 moves to
official ESR status and after a week of punching patches and build systems in
the face, we have some bundles (with a new Torbutton) for you to test. They
also include the newest Tor 0.2.4.9-alpha. There are also pref changes, etc.
The changelog is here:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbrowser.git/blob/maint-2.4:/changelog.linu…
(Using the Linux one because it has one extra change.)
These are alpha bundles so some MINOR bugs are acceptable for release. The
critical thing for us right now is to make sure that these are not crashy or a
security/privacy risk since we will need to switch to Firefox 17 in February
(which is very soon!)
In addition to the normal testing you usually do, please run Wireshark and look
for things like proxy leaks or anything that might be equally bad.
Packages: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/alpha/2.4.9-alpha/
sha256sums: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/alpha/2.4.9-alpha/sha256sums-2.4.9-…
Turnaround: Let's say 24-48h? I would like to put these out tomorrow, but I
know it's the weekend. We're mainly looking for dealbreaker bugs for this so we
can get them out to everyone else for wider testing.
Thanks for everything!
Erinn
Hi everyone!
We have new alpha bundles available with a Tor release candidate
(0.2.3.21-rc), and a new Torbutton which should prevent the exceptions
in sandbox evaluation that people were seeing before. If it doesn't we
need to know about it. Otherwise all of the normal verification should
be sufficient (checking versions, making sure there aren't problems
with libevent which was also upgraded, etc.). The OS X Obfsproxy Tor
Browser Bundles have also been fixed.
You can find the bundles at:
https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/alpha/0.2.3.21-rc/
You have until Sept 11th 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.
For testing ideas, see the BuildSignoff wiki page and the Tor Browser
Bundle 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
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 us know.

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!

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:
