Hi!
We are happy to announce the first Tor Browser 8.0.7 release candidate for wider testing. Bundles can be found at
https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/builds/8.0.7-build3/
This new release updates Firefox to 60.6.0esr and Tor to the latest stable version, 0.3.5.8. Moreover, it makes Tor Browser more interoperable with Noscript by telling it that it is running in a Tor Browser context.
The full changelog since 8.0.6 is:

Hi,
Georg Koppen:
We are happy to announce the first Tor Browser 8.0.7 release candidate for wider testing.
Thank you. In particular, I want to praise the fact this was ready a few days earlier than usual, which makes the whole thing much less stressful for downstreams such as Tails, and allows us to provide feedback earlier (⇒ hopefully easier to act upon for the browser team, if needed).
Imported 8.0.7 in Tails, passed our automated QA ⇒ merged!
Cheers,
-
