[tor-qa] Tor Brower 8.5a7 is ready for testing

[Georg Koppen]

Hello!

Tor Browser 8.5a7 is ready for testing. Bundles can be found at:

https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/builds/8.5a7-build3/

This new Tor Browser version picks up Firefox security bug fixes coming
with Firefox 60.5.0esr and ships the first alpha in Tor's 0.4.1 series,
0.4.0.1-alpha.

This release also features a lot of improvements regarding our branding.
We ship our new Tor Browser logo for the first time in a release build
on desktop platforms and are eager to learn about bugs and general
feedback. Thanks for Antonela and Richard working on this!

Additionally, we fixed a number of crashes noticed in previous releases
(WebGL crashed on some Windows machines[1], the print dialog on some
Linux systems[2], and downloading files on some Android devices[3]).

Note: While the Windows binary files built on different machines are the
same, the resulting .exe files seem to differ building with
tbb-8.5a7-build3. We are still investigating the cause for this and hope
to have this fixed in the final release.[4]
