Hey everyone!
Tor's experimental version has moved one step closer to stable with its latest -rc release. I have some packages up for testing. In order to prevent confusion with the 3.x series of TBB (which are actually alpha), the "regular" alpha TBBs have been renamed to beta.
Packages: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/alpha/0.2.4.15-rc/ sha256sums: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/alpha/0.2.4.15-rc/sha256sums-0.2.4.1... Turnaround: 24h
Thanks, Erinn

I've added a few more tests: noting whether there is a system tray, whether the network map can be viewed, and whether a new ID can be generated without losing the current open tabs. I've added these because I think that they are important, but not available from the 3.x series. I'm torn between the 2.x and 3.x series at the moment - 2.x provides more information and functionality while 3.x is faster.

Good ideas and info. When we were discussing the new TBB launcher at our dev meeting back in February I mentioned that people would really dislike not having the map and one of my tasks is to have Vidalia built separately with the same Gitian infrastructure so we can at least provide it as a standalone application. I think it would be a bit cooler if we could find another solution not involving Vidalia, but I'm not too sure what the best approach would be in that case.
The system tray one is odd. On OSX the 3.x series gives me a little TorBrowser icon which I assume is the equivalent functionality?
And thanks for the quick turnaround, Katya and Colin.

I'm not a programmer so I'm not sure how difficult or effective this would be, but maybe a Firefox plugin like Collusion could work:

The system try itself isn't an issue for me, but rather the ability to generate a new ID without getting rid of the Firefox window and all its open tabs. At the moment I can only do this through the system tray, which isn't an option for 3.x under Linux.
And thanks for the quick turnaround, Katya and Colin.
Pleasure!
