I am standing in for Runa as the announcer this week, but with any luck we can replace these announcement mails with a script soon enough.
We have two TBB releases today: a stable and an alpha. Be sure to limit replies in this thread to reports on the stable series. We want to get the stable release out ASAP (within about 24 hours). An alpha post will follow shortly, and it will be given more time for feedback (let's say 60 hours). Please test the alpha more thoroughly, but also please prioritize the stable release to make sure it is at least functional.
If you decide to test both releases, please reply to each thread individually. If you have additional comments or concerns about the process or test urls, please start new threads rather than reply here.
The stable bundles update Firefox to 10.0.6esr, Vidalia to 0.2.20, and NoScript to 2.4.8. Please see Docs/changelog in the bundles for details.
You can find the stable bundles themselves for Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows at: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/stable/
Linux users: As you know, life is always hard for you, but that's ok because it makes you stronger; make sure you get the 2.2.37-2 version, not the stale 2.2.37-1 version.
Also note: We are short on Windows testers, especially those with wacky AV software. If that's you, we would love to hear your input for at least one of the two releases.
You have until July 27th 2012 06:00 UTC to test and report back. Please email this list directly with results or if you have any questions. Keep in mind that an email saying "I tested TBB on Debian Wheezy and found no bugs" is just as useful as a list of issues. I think my own personal favorite response format so far was: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-qa/2012-June/000004.html but as always feel free to innovate and improve on that. Note: I'm pretty sure we don't need your specific CPU string, only x86 vs x64.
For testing ideas, see the BuildSignoff wiki page and the TBB design document for information about different types of tests you can perform: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/build/BuildSignoff#Documen... https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#Testing
Thank you for helping us make the Tor Browser Bundle better. Again, please don't hesitate to email if you have questions. If you have any suggestions on things we can do better, please let me know.
Thanks!

This should now be fixed. Sorry for this delay. To give people a bit more time to test, we'll extend the deadline for the stable bundles until July 27th, 19:00 UTC.

Hi list!
I've tested tor-browser-2.2.37-2_en-US on an x86 machine running Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3 (hooray). Unfortunately it has no wacky AV - only MS Security Essentials.
I tested;
- successful launch of TBB - connection to the Tor network - use of toolbars, menus and tab dragging - presense and elementary usage of HTTPS-Everywhere, NoScript and TorButton - web browsing with HTTP, HTTPS and .onion - samy.pl/evercookie test - html5demos.com/web-socket test - www.dnsleaktest.com test
I found no problems whatsoever.
