No. I know, it's not your voice, but the Tor blog frequently talks about "New Tor Browser Bundles" and different "Alpha Bundles Available for Testing" https://blog.torproject.org/category/tags/tor-browser-bundle "2.4.7-alpha-1-Linux-i386" https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/linux/tor-browser-gnu-linux-i686-2.4.9-alpha-1-dev-en-US.tar.gz is "more Alpha" than "2.3.25-2-Linux-i686" https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/linux/tor-browser-gnu-linux-i686-2.3.25-2-dev-en-US.tar.gz >From a user perspective accustomed using the default download from torproject.org (for my os) of TBB, I think the logical course of action for a download automating tool (Tor Browser Launcher) is also using the default download. I enjoy that there is some testing of the ("more") alpha bundles before I get it presented as the "more stabilized but still alpha" bundles - even though all anonymity tools are in their overall nature still alpha. _______________________________________________ tor-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev
