Hello!

We are happy to announce the first Tor Browser 8.5.1 release candidate
for wider testing. Bundles can be found at

https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/builds/8.5.1-build1/

Tor Browser 8.5.1 is the first bugfix release in the 8.5 series and aims
at mostly fixing regressions and providing small improvements related to
our 8.5 release. Additionally, we disable the WebGL readPixel()
fingerprinting vector, realizing, though, that we need a more holistic
approach when trying to deal with the fingerprinting potential WebGL
comes with.
