Hello, In June the Tor Browser team made four releases: Tor Browser 6.0.1[1], 6.0.2[2], 6.5a1[3] and 6.5a1-hardened[4].
Tor Browser 6.0.1 was the second release in the 6.x stable series catching up with the Firefox ESR train by bumping the underlying Firefox version to 45.2.0esr. Additionally, we included some minor fixups, mainly stability related[5][6]. Unfortunately, the switch to Firefox 45.2.0esr unearthed crashes due to our deterministic build setup and a mitigation for a compiler bug which Mozilla shipped in this Firefox point release[7]. We worked around it with the release of 6.0.2 which additionally provides fixes to some usability issues we found after the transition to ESR45. With Tor Browser 6.5a1 and 6.5a1-hardened the alpha series finally caught up with the changes we shipped in Tor Browser 6.0 and 6.0.1. Additionally, both releases ship tor 0.2.8.3-rc and two backported Firefox features[8][9] for testing and potential inclusion into the next stable series. Besides focusing on getting the releases out we worked further on our SponsorU tasks. The full list of tickets closed by the Tor Browser team in June is accessible using the TorBrowserTeam201606 tag in our bug tracker[10]. For July, no releases are planned and the full list of tickets on our radar for this month can be seen with the TorBrowserTeam201607 tag in our bug tracker[11].
