Finally, we have a 3.0 build that fully matched on two different build machines for all bundles for the 3.0-alpha-2 series. I'm still waiting on a third confirmation, but since these bundles contain the 17.0.7-ESR security release (which is over a week old now), I want to get them out ASAP.
If anyone is willing to try these and report any major issues, that would be great.
I will be posting these on the blog as soon as I hear back from Georg Koppen and get a detached signature from him and Linus Nordberg.
Here's my builds: https://people.torproject.org/~mikeperry/3.0-alpha-2/
Testing: tor-browser-linux64-3.0-alpha-2_en-US.tar.xz Platform: Debian 7.1 Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU B950 @ 2.10GHz
[notice] Tor v0.2.4.14-alpha (git-f5729b8c1d45933f) running on Linux with Libevent 2.0.21-stable and OpenSSL 1.0.1e.
Firefox ESR 17.0.7
TBB Launches successfully - OK Connects to the Tor network - OK Browser toolbars and menus work. Tab dragging works - OK
All extensions are present and functional - OK - HTTPS-Everywhere 3.2.2 (updated to 3.2.3 on launch) - NoScript 2.6.6.6 - TorButton 1.6.0 - TorLauncher 0.2-alpha - PDF Viewer 0.8.1
WebBrowsing works as expected - HTTP, HTTPS, .onion browsing works - HTML5 videos work (http://videojs.com/) - http://ip-check.info/?lang=en - OK - https://panopticlick.eff.org/ - unique among 511,662, 18.96 bits of identifying information
SOCKS/external apps work as expected
I still miss the Network Map which comes with Vidalia, but otherwise it's faster and works well
And from the Vidalia icon in the system tray it was possible to use a new identity without disturbing the browser, whereas when changing identity from the icon in the browser the whole browser closes and you lose any open tabs. Overall I see an improvement, however the two problems above, especially the new identity problem, would be nice to have solved before this becomes stable. -- kat
