As we discussed at the dev meeting, we're going to try doing pre-build announcements of releases, to give people time to be aware that we will need some testing help soon, and so that interested people can try building a given tag early, to verify reproducibility.
Tag tbb-3.6beta1-build1 (fb9453c51306ad39d261617e2cb3ba8e18368574) was just pushed to https://git.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-bundle.git.
It should once again be possible to build from non-KVM/VT machines that only support LXC (by setting the USE_LXC=1 environment variable before build).
'make beta' is the command you want to build this tag, run from the gitian subdirectory in a tor-browser-bundle.git checkout.
Once we get confirmation on reproducibility (earlier commits were fine, so we should be good), we'll begin testing. Probably Monday/Tuesday.
Here's the Changelog (changes from 3.5.2.1):
