Hi everyone!
We have new bundles available with a Tor release candidate (0.2.3.20-rc) and new Tor Browser Bundles with a Firefox crash fix applied. Please try to give us feedback within the next 36 hours at a maximum, but we'd sincerely appreciate feedback before that because we really want to get the release candidate widely tested as soon as possible. Windows testing is especially important, as the 0.2.3.x tor client has not had very much exposure to that platform yet.
You can find the alpha bundles themselves for Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows at: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/alpha/torbrowser/
In the parent directory you can also find an obfsproxy build, which would also be useful to report feedback for: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/alpha/obfsproxy/
You have until Aug 9th 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. I think my own personal favorite response format so far was: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-qa/2012-June/000004.html but as always feel free to innovate and improve on that. Note: I'm pretty sure we don't need your specific CPU string, only x86 vs x64.
For testing ideas, see the BuildSignoff wiki page and the TBB design document for information about different types of tests you can perform: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/build/BuildSignoff#Documen... https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#Testing
In particular, the crash bug from the last alpha appeared on http://ip-check.info/ and http://news.bbc.co.uk.
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 me know.

For both tests, I noticed that when I first ran TBB, the homepage URL would be https://check.torproject.org/?lang=en-US&small=1&uptodate=1 which indicates that the latest TBB is running. Subsequent loads will lead to the URL https://check.torproject.org/?lang=en-US&small=1&uptodate=0, and the message "There is a security update available for the Tor Browser Bundle." will be displayed.
This should finally be fixed. Next time I swear I will remember to test download before posting.
We'll extend the deadline to 24 hours from now: Aug 9th, 17:00 UTC.
Also, here is a list of sha256sums signed by Erinn: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/alpha/shasums-0.2.3.20-rc.txt.asc
Use 'gpg --verify shasums-0.2.3.20-rc.txt.asc' to verify the signature.

minor problem: #6483
The security message is irritating (I assume it is wrong): "There is a security update available for the Tor Browser Bundle."
"New Identity" browser restart is a *lot* faster than it used to be, great.
Thank you for the signature file.
