Tor Browser 3.6.6 and 4.0a3 are ready for testing
Hi, Tor Browser 3.6.6 and 4.0a3 are up: https://people.torproject.org/~mikeperry/builds/3.6.6/ https://people.torproject.org/~mikeperry/builds/4.0-alpha-3/ This release contains above all an update to Firefox ESR 24.8.1esr which fixes a critical bug in NSS. Moreover, the new Tor Browser versions contain an updated tor (0.2.4.24 and 0.2.5.8-rc respectively), other updated components and a workaround for a nasty hang on start-up reported by many users (https://bugs.torproject.org/10804). The latter is not well tested yet. If you encounter any weird behavior especially during the start-up process we'd like to hear about it. Here are the full changelogs: Tor Browser 4.0-alpha-3 -- Sep 24 2014 * All Platforms * Update Tor to 0.2.5.8-rc * Update Firefox to 24.8.1esr * Update meek to 0.11 * Update NoScript to 2.6.8.42 * Update Torbutton to 1.6.12.3 * Bug 13091: Use "Tor Browser" everywhere * Bug 10804: Workaround fix for some cases of startup hang * Bug 13091: Use "Tor Browser" everywhere * Bug 13049: Browser update failure (self.update is undefined) * Bug 13047: Updater should not send Kernel and GTK version * Bug 12998: Prevent intermediate certs from being written to disk * Linux: * Bug 9150: Make RPATH unavailable on Tor binary. * Bug 13031: Add full RELRO protection.

In doing some testing of the built-in updater with both 4.0-alpha-2 and these 4.0-alpha-3 builds, Kathy Brade and I found and filed these tickets: "update_responses script generates incorrect hashes" https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/13241 current status: boklm has a fix in hand "language pack lost after update" https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/13245 current status: brade and I have a builders/tor-browser-bundle fix that we are testing now. "meek profile error after update" https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/13247 current status: needs to be investigated Unfortunately, I think we will want to spin new 4.0-alpha-3 builds because of #13245. -- Mark Smith Pearl Crescent, LLC http://pearlcrescent.com/
