I am standing in for Runa as the announcer this week, but with any luck
we can replace these announcement mails with a script soon enough.

As I said in my earlier mail, we have two TBB releases today: a stable
and an alpha. Be sure to limit replies in this thread to reports on the
alpha bundle.

Beyond the current stable bundle versions, the alpha bundle updates Tor
to 0.2.3.19-rc, Firefox to 14.0.1, Vidalia to 0.2.20, NoScript to 2.4.9,
and HTTPS-Everywhere to 3.0development5. Please see Docs/changelog in
the bundles for details.

You can find the alpha bundles themselves for Linux, Mac OSX, and
Windows at: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/alpha/

To reduce build overhead, we are only providing English versions of the
alpha bundles for the QA process itself.

Also note: We are short on Windows testers, especially those with wacky
AV software. If that's you, we would love to hear your input.

You have until July 28th 2012 18:00 UTC to test and report back before
we commit to releasing the current build. 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#DocumentationChecklist
https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#Testing



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.


Thanks!
