[tor-project] PieroV's Monthly Status Report, November 2022
Hi everyone!
Here is my status report for November 2022.
At the beginning of the month, I attended the Reproducible Build 2022
Summit in Venice [0]. I discovered a lot of new stuff there, and
hopefully, we might apply some to Tor Browser, too.
Then, for the rest of the month, I mostly worked on refinements to Tor
Browser 12.0 series.
One of the most important features I have worked on is improving the
experience with the multi-lingual builds. For example, I have
implemented a notification to explain to the user why Tor Browser chose
that language, with a button to go directly to the language preferences [1].
I have also fixed a few bugs introduced by the tor-launcher refactor [2][3].
I also managed to get yet another patch upstreamed to Firefox [4].
I had another important task, too: reviewing the profile files with our
custom Firefox configuration [5]. I removed some old settings, added new
ones, and tried to add missing links to our bug tracker for the ones
that we already had. I hope this will help us with future documentation
and review work.
Finally, I helped to prepare some releases and to verify the
reproducibility of the ones we released.
We should be very close to 12.0 becoming stable: we are very excited
about it, and we would love to get any feedback. So, please, consider
downloading [6] the fifth alpha of 12.0 (we are publishing it later
today) and giving it a test ride 😄️.
Thank you very much,
Pier
