It gets the current recommended version of TBB to install from: https://check.torproject.org/RecommendedTBBVersions I've noticed that sometimes these are alphas, but sometimes they aren't. I'm not sure who updates that document, or how they choose what versions to recommend. But I believe that's also what TorButton uses to check for updates. Before finding out about that URL, I was considering downloading https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/linux/ and programatically guessing what version to pick, but RecommendedTBBVersions is a much saner approach. -- Micah Lee https://twitter.com/micahflee
