Changes (by cypherpunks):

 * keywords:  tbb-fingerprinting-resolution => tbb-fingerprinting-
     resolution, tbb-linkability
 * component:  TorBrowserButton => Applications/Tor Browser
 * severity:   => Normal


Comment:

 Trackers now send back every change of resolution, so that in conjunction
 with timers it can be used to defeat FPI.
