    The second alpha release in the 5.0 series of the Tor Browser is now available from our extended downloads page as well as the distribution directory.

    This release provides a fix for the Logjam attack (https://weakdh.org/) and updates a number of Tor Browser components: Tor to version 0.2.7.1-alpha, Torbutton to version 1.9.2.7, NoScript to version 2.6.9.26, meek to version 0.19 and HTTPS-Everywhere to version 5.0.5. Moreover, it fixes a possible crash on Linux and avoids breaking the Add-ons page if Torbutton is disabled, and it also fixes an update issue when using meek on Windows systems.
