Hi everyone!
We are accelerating the stable release of the TBB 3.x series because Firefox 17 ESR is no longer supported. In order to do this we need to make sure we have some standalone Vidalia bundles that people can plug in so they are not too disoriented by the change. A lot of us have been using the 3.x series for a while, but plenty of people have not, and we don't want to upset them.
I have spent the evening trying to get together a functional batch. I have the first pass available, with some known problems. Linux is able to display the relay map and show your hops, but I haven't been able to make it work on Windows or OSX yet. I would appreciate anyone figuring out what that issue might be, but I will also look into it more tomorrow. I assume it is not finding the geoip file correctly.
Here's how to test these:
Download
Extract *into your TBB 3.x directory*. This is important. They may
work outside of it, but it depends a lot on your system libs. I am sure they will work *in* it and that is how they are "designed" right now (though longer-term that will not be the case). If they work outside of your TBB 3.x directory that is merely surprisingly good news. (But try it anyway, for fun.)
- Run the start vidalia script. On Windows, this is Start
Vidalia.exe. On OSX and Linux it is start-vidalia.sh.
- Let me know what happens!
Works perfectly on x64 Debian 7.2.
Thanks Erinn and all else involved!
