Hi all!
Here are the notes from our weekly Tor Browser meeting which we had
earlier today. The chat log can be found at
http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-meeting/2018/tor-meeting.2018-04-30-18.00.log.txt
and our pad items were:
Monday April 30, 2018
Discussion question(s):
-igt0 asks: I know we have talked about accessibility before, about
mobile, how much we care right now? I am asking because of
ticket #25902. Android accessibility services allow password
managers to listen for user events. e.g. typing a password in a login form.
-Upcoming releases
-What is our way forward with our extensions for ESR60? [sysrqb and
arthuredelstein will look next week into what is needed to get our
extensions integrated into a working ESR60 build]

- Found and bypassed a crash bug for MinGW. Looking at two, maybe three
crashes currently.
- 1) A crash in
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/nsprpub/pr/src/threads/prtpd.c#216
that happens on TC
- 2) This assert:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/layout/svg/nsSVGIntegrationUtils.cpp#103
- Have been learning more about debugging symbol-less (in WinDBG).
Feel pretty comfortable identifying where I am in assembly (assuming
Debug asserts are present...) [GeKo: Do you feel you could write up what
you learned and, say, add this to the Hacking doc we have? I guess this
would help us a lot, too.]
- Wrote it up at
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorBrowser/Hacking/DebuggingOnWindows
