I posted the best and RC builds to our FDroid repo, so testers can also
get them there.

It seems to be working OK, I can't say definitely yet whether this
version has fixed my issues with the HTTP Proxy being dead whenever I
wake/unlock the device after its been unused for a while.

Another important bug is still present: on first time install, the START
Intent is not starting Orbot.  Fixing this is essential to providing a
good experience for new users.  Once this is fixed, then we can make
lots of apps have a "Use Tor" switch preference that will install and
start Tor for people who do not have it installed.
