OK, so in the end it looks like 8.5 should not bring big changes for us (at least not those we had on our radar already as potential deal breakers). >> Does this mean that the first 8.5.x release that has *no* >> corresponding 8.0.x will be the 2019-05-14 one? > I am not sure exactly what you mean but let me come up with my best > guess. :) > Assuming there are _no_ emergency releases in between, then the release > planned for 2019-05-14 will be the first stable release picking up > Firefox security bug fixes that will be based on 8.5 while the > corresponding alpha will be 9.0aX. What I need to understand is essentially: what's our deadline to make sure Tails is ready to ship Tor Browser 8.5. I think I now understood that: * If there's an emergency release, late March or in April, then it may be based on 8.5 (depending on how ready the 8.5 tree is). * Else, if there's no emergency release between the time the 8.5 tree is ready to be called stable, and May 14, then the first Tor Browser 8.5 release Tails needs to ship will be the May 14 one. It follows that Tails needs to be ready before late March to upgrade to 8.5, in case there's an emergency release.
