    A new alpha Tor Browser release is available for download in the 6.0a3 distribution directory and on the alpha download page.

    This release features important security updates to Firefox.

    This release bumps the versions of several of our components, e.g.: Firefox to 38.7.0esr, Tor to 0.2.8.1-alpha, OpenSSL to 1.0.1s, NoScript to 2.9.0.4 and HTTPS-Everywhere to 5.1.4.

    Additionally, we fixed long-standing bugs in our Tor circuit display and window resizing code, and improved the usability of our font fingerprinting defense further.

    Here is the full changelog since 6.0a2:
