Hi tor-qa people,

Tor Browser 4.5a4 is up for testing. Bundles can be found on:

https://people.torproject.org/~mikeperry/builds/4.5a4-build3

This release is based on Firefox 31.5.0 ESR. It contains the brand new Tor alpha, 0.2.6.3-alpha, an updated OpenSSL, NoScript, obf4proxy and a large amount of bug fixes and enhancements. Most notably, Disconnect Search is now selected as the default search engine and the Torbutton menu got reorganized. Apart from that we fixed some long-standing issues: users are getting warned on New Identity that they may loose their tabs (bug 9906), we added the option to get a new circuit for a website (bug 9942) and we improved the branding on the about-dialog (bug 5698). The full changelog is:

Hi,

First of all this is a great release, great job!

I tested on OS X and Windows only found two minor defects with how RTL languages are displayed in TorButton’s circuit viewer and about:tor's “What’s next?”, “You can help!” boxes. See attached.
