Tor Browser Bundle 3.6

[BoraMurdar]

Tor Browser Team is proud to announce the first stable release of the 3.6 series. Packages are available from the Tor Browser Project page and also from our distribution directory.

For users upgrading from Tor Browser 3.5.x, the 3.6 series features fully integrated Pluggable Transport support, including an improved Tor Launcher UI for configuring Pluggable Transport bridges. The Pluggable Transport code is also fully disabled for users who do not configure them. The 3.6 series also changes the MacOS archive format from zip to DMG, which should improve installation usability for Mac users.

This release also includes important security updates to Firefox.

Please see the TBB FAQ listing for any issues you may have before contacting support or filing tickets. In particular, the TBB 3.x section lists common issues specific to the Tor Browser 3.x series. We also maintain a list of frequently encountered known issues in our bugtracker.
