New Release: Tor Browser 10.5a15

by sysrqb | April 27, 2021

Tor Browser 10.5a15 is now available from the Tor Browser download page and also from our distribution directory.

Note: This is an alpha release, an experimental version for users who want to help us test new features. For everyone else, we recommend downloading the latest stable release instead.

This version updates Firefox to 78.10esr and Fenix to 88.1.1. In addition, Tor Browser 10.5a15 updates Tor to 0.4.6.2-alpha. This version includes important security updates to Firefox for Desktop and security updates for Android.

Warning:
Tor Browser Alpha does not support version 2 onion services. Tor Browser (Stable) will stop supporting version 2 onion services later this year. Please see the previously published deprecation timeline regarding Tor version 0.4.6. Migrate your services and update your bookmarks to version 3 onion services as soon as possible.

Note: This version is not completely reproducible. We are investigating non-determinism in the Android Tor Browser build. Tor Browser for Windows, macOS and Linux are reproducible.

Attention Android users:

If you experience regular or repeated crashes, please install Scoop from f-droid. Scoop monitors app crashes and captures a stack trace, which contains information that can be extremely helpful for developers. If Scoop detects a crash, please file a bug report and include a copy of the stack trace with it.

As per the instructions, non-root users must run the following command on the device in order to enable Scoop. You do this from a desktop using the adb shell command, or from the device itself using a terminal emulator app such as Termux or many others. Neither method requires root.

pm grant taco.scoop android.permission.READ_LOGS

Great information. Your comment about Scoop and/or instructions to use logcat ought to be made into a bug ticket to get the instructions added to Tor Project's support answer for how to view the log but for Tor Browser Android.

Here are some older questions about logs on Android, etc.

Mozilla can't cope with bugs in that feature, thus disabled it everywhere except Windows. But it has bugs in Windows too. No need to standout one platform.

> Tor Browser Alpha does not support version 2 onion services.

It's working for me...? I was trying to see if an Onion-Location header pointing to a v2 address would be followed by a version that doesn't support v2, but lo and behold, it redirects and v2 comes right up. Also tried manually entering a v2 address and it works. What gives? 10.5a15, Linux, installed from tarball.
