Hello, In April we made 3 releases: 5.5.5[1], 6.0a5[2] and 6.0a5-hardened[3].
Tor Browser 5.5.5 fixed the usual amount of security issues Mozilla closed with its release of a new Firefox ESR (38.8.0) and came with some smaller improvements: we added a new obfs4 bridge[4] and stopped advertising our help desk (we are currently restructuring our support work)[5]. Both Tor Browser alpha versions on the other hand contain a number of new features. Most notably, we switched to ESR45 as our underlying Firefox version after we rebased all our patches and wrote new ones for the most critical new features[6]. Second, a new alpha version of Tor, 0.2.8.2-alpha, is included to give it more testing exposure on its way to our new stable Tor version. And, third, we finally shipped our OS X bundles code-signed to provide a better experience for our Mac users. Apart from getting those releases out, we worked mainly on Firefox ESR 45 related tasks which is clearly visible in the full list of tickets closed by us in April. This list is accessible using the TorBrowserTeam201604 tag in our bug tracker[7]. For May we plan to get a new stable version out at the end of the month. Getting Tor Browser 6.0 into shape will therefore be the main focus in the coming weeks. The full list of tickets the Tor Browser team plans to work on in May can be seen with the TorBrowserTeam201605 tag on our bug tracker[8].
