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.
As I said in my earlier mail, we have two TBB releases today: a stable and an alpha. Be sure to limit replies in this thread to reports on the alpha bundle.
Beyond the current stable bundle versions, the alpha bundle updates Tor to 0.2.3.19-rc, Firefox to 14.0.1, Vidalia to 0.2.20, NoScript to 2.4.9, and HTTPS-Everywhere to 3.0development5. Please see Docs/changelog in the bundles for details.
You can find the alpha bundles themselves for Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows at: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/alpha/
To reduce build overhead, we are only providing English versions of the alpha bundles for the QA process itself.
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.
You have until July 28th 2012 18:00 UTC to test and report back before we commit to releasing the current build. 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!

TBB Launches successfully - OK Connects to the Tor network - OK
I used TBB for ~30 minutes (browsing on random websites), during that time TorBrowser crashed 4-5 times. Vidalia was still running after TorBrowser disappeared. I was not able to find out what triggers the crash. I thought it might be better to share even such little info just in case someone else is also experiencing similar troubles.
btw: would you mind adding hashes to your signed announcement email or sign the mails on the server (adding *.asc files)
For what it's worth...

Thanks for getting us more details on this, Dominic! I was able to reproduce it in a debugger and get the same crash code, as well as the source line involved. I've filed this ticket: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6492
I should be able to fix it later this week.
