Hello!
We are happy to announce the first release candidate for the upcoming Tor Browser 9.0a4. Bundles can be found at
https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/builds/9.0a4-build1/
Tor Browser 9.0a4 contains updates to a number of bundle parts, most importantly Firefox (60.8.0esr) and Tor (0.4.1.3-alpha).
In our ongoing efforts to reach more users with Tor Browser we include native macedonian bundles for the first time and ship Tor Browser for the aarch64 architecture on mobile. And, finally, we have implemented fixes for accessibility support on Windows systems (big thanks to Richard Pospesel for the hard work here), which now deserve a wider testing.
Similar to the stable series we include a fundraising banner to help us getting more donations. Please donate if you can!

In our ongoing efforts to reach more users with Tor Browser we include native macedonian bundles for the first time and ship Tor Browser for the aarch64 architecture on mobile.
We actually missed the aarch64 .apk in build1 and did therefore a build2 to fix this problem. The aarch64 .apk is now in my -build2 directory for testing:
https://people.torproject.org/~gk/builds/9.0a4-build2/
Moreover, another important new feature I forgot to mention in my previous announcement is letterboxing being enabled by default now. Please give it a try if you can, so we can iron out bugs before we ship it to all users starting with Tor Browser 9.
