Tor Browser Bundle 3.5rc1 Released

[BoraMurdar]

The first release candidate in the 3.5 series of the Tor Browser Bundle is now available from the Tor Package Archive:
https://archive.torproject.org/tor-package-archive/torbrowser/3.5rc1/.

This release includes important security updates to Firefox.

Moreover, the Firefox 17esr release series has been deprecated by Mozilla. This means the imminent end of life for our 2.x and 3.0 bundle series. All 3.0 users are strongly encourage to update immediately, as we will not be making further releases in that series. If this release candidate survives the next few days without issue, this release candidate will be declared stable, and we will officially deprecate the current stable 2.x Tor Browser Bundles and declare their versions out of date as well.

Here is the complete changelog:

In times like these, when and where privacy of our data its of great importance, this seems like what is needed.

Tor Browser Bundle 3.5.1
Protect your privacy. Defend yourself against network surveillance and traffic analysis.
Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked.

The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained.
