Tor Browser 9.0a7 is now available from the Tor Browser Alpha download page and also from our distribution directory.VJE免费翻墙网
Note: this is an alpha release, an experimental version for users who want to help us test new features. For everyone else, we recommend downloading the latest stable release instead.VJE免费翻墙网
This is the second alpha release based on Firefox ESR68. This new release contains various improvements and bug fixes. Among them, the Snowflake pluggable transport is now available on Windows too, the issue with non-reproducible builds for the 32bit Linux and Windows bundles have been fixed (we are still working on fixing the issue with the Android ones), and we added support for the x86_64 target on Android (fulfiling Google Play's new requirement for 64bit versions, allowing us to provide an x86 version again). This release also updates Tor to 0.4.2.1-alpha on desktop and 0.4.1.5 on Android. Finally, this alpha release is the first one that is compatible with the upcoming new macOS version (10.15).VJE免费翻墙网
Known issues:VJE免费翻墙网
- The build of Tor Browser 9.0a7 for Android is not reproducible right now. We plan to fix this in the next alpha release, to give the usual guarantees reproducible builds aim to provide.
- New Identity and the bridge configuration in the browser are not easily accessible anymore as we removed the onion button. We are currently working on a replacement for both: New Identity will be exposed directly in the toolbar and the bridge configuration gets integrated in the Firefox settings. For New Identity please use the shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+U) for now or the item in the hamburger menu.
- Tor Browser on macOS can't get closed from the app menu anymore and other app menu items are not working either.
- We already have a number of known tickets we need to work on in the coming weeks. The most important ones are tagged with the tbb-9.0-must-alpha keyword. Moreover, we have accumulated Firefox 68 ESR related issues over the time that can easily be queried with our ff68-esr keyword.
If you find any issue with this release, please help us by reporting them so we can fix as much as we can before the first stable release based on ESR68, which is planned for October 22.VJE免费翻墙网
