Hi!

Tor Browser 8.0a3 is ready for testing. Bundles can be found on:

https://people.torproject.org/~gk/builds/8.0a3-build1/

Tor Browser 8.0a3 contains security updates to Firefox and includes
newer versions of Tor (0.3.3.3), HTTPS Everywhere (2018.2.26), and
obfs4proxy (0.0.7).

Apart from those component updates we are proud that this alpha is the
first one containing Moat, which is a more robust way of getting bridges
from torproject.org using the meek pluggable transport. Please try it
