Nothing official yet. We ship HTTPS Everywhere 1.2.1 which does not
include the SSL Observatory code.

The HTTPS Observatory code is in 2.0developmentx releases, see
https://www.eff.org/files/Changelog.txt.

Currently, when installing the 2.0developmentx release, the first prompt,
after installation and restart of firefox, is to decide if you want
to opt-in to the SSL Observatory collection (which does transmit via
tor). The default is opt-out.

If you are reading this and confused, start here,
