new alpha and stable bundles for testing!
by Erinn Clark 07 Feb '13

07 Feb '13

Hey everyone, There has been a Tor 0.2.4.10-alpha release and an OpenSSL 1.0.0d release, so I've made new packages for the stable and alpha branches. Please test to make sure they have the right version of OpenSSL! Stable Packages: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/stable/2.3.25-3/ sha256sums: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/stable/2.3.25-3/sha256sums-2.3.25-3… Turnaround: 24h Alpha Packages: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/alpha/2.4.10-alpha-1/ sha256sums: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/alpha/2.4.10-alpha-1/sha256sums-2.4… Turnaround: 24h Note: the obfsproxy packages are no longer available for the alpha bundles. I was told by George (one of the obfsproxy developers) that they aren't really necessary since they are now shipping pyobfsproxy & flashproxy bundles based on the alpha bundles. Within the next month these will hopefully be added to the list of packages I make available too. Thanks! Erinn

Firefox 17.0.2esr Tor 0.2.4.9-alpha bundles
by Erinn Clark 27 Jan '13

27 Jan '13

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

[URGENT] test TBBs with latest Firefox
by Erinn Clark 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

For context on the [URGENT], please check out these links: http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2013/01/enhancing-digital-certific… https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2013/01/03/revoking-trust-in-two-turktrus… Packages: http://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/stable/2.3.25-2 http://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/alpha/2.4.7-alpha sha256sums: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/stable/sha256sums-2.3.25-2.txt.asc https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/alpha/sha256sums-2.4.7-alpha.txt.asc Turnaround: 24h, or as soon as you can Special notes: There's also a new libevent in these bundles; please double check the version to make sure it's 2.0.21-stable. I'm writing this email in haste on my way to Stockholm -- I apologize in advance for any dunderheaded mistakes I've made wrt signing, directories, file permissions, or anything. I'll check back in a few hours to fix anything like that. The Windows alpha/obfsproxy TBBs are missing because they haven't built yet, but I'll put them up ASAP and mail the list again. There will also be some Tor alpha packages (Vidalia bundles) for testing tomorrow, but they are less urgent (in case anyone is wondering where the rest of the 0.2.4.7-alpha packages are). Thanks, Erinn

[urgent] new packages available for Tor 0.2.3.25 and 0.2.4.6-alpha
by Erinn Clark 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi everyone, Due to a variety of reasons these packages have been very delayed, but they're available now and I would sincerely appreciate if I could get feedback about them as soon as possible. I will be releasing them tomorrow, Dec. 3, around 20:00 UTC unless I hear about showstopper bugs by then. The 0.2.3.25 packages have a new Tor stable release (yay!), as well as a new Vidalia 0.2.21 and the latest Firefox 10.0.11esr. Please pay special attention to any interaction between Tor and Vidalia and run things for a while to make sure nothing funny happens. Packages: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/stable/2.3.25-1/ sha256sums: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/stable/2.3.25-1/sha256sums-0.2.3.25… There's also a bunch of new alpha packages and I'd love if people could make sure the obfsproxy bundles still work as well as the old ones: Packages: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/alpha/2.4.6-alpha/ sha256sums: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/alpha/2.4.6-alpha/sha256sums-0.2.4.… Thanks, Erinn

TBB-alpha v0.2.3.21-rc QA
by Runa A. Sandvik 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

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. -- Runa A. Sandvik

Fwd: new stable TBBs available for testing

30 Aug '12

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Erinn Clark <erinn(a)torproject.org> Date: Mon, Aug 27, 2012 at 9:55 AM Subject: new stable TBBs available for testing To: Mike Perry <mikeperry(a)torproject.org> Cc: runa(a)torproject.org, tor-assistants(a)lists.torproject.org 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! Erinn

Stable TBB QA v2.2.38-1
by Mike Perry 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

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: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/stable/ -- Mike Perry
