Greetings.

According to the maillist bulletin, here we have the following news:

<pre><code class="html">
* Added extra build fail-safes
  * Do not include the Debian package specifics
  * Corrected description for "tracking protection" on on-boarding page
* Hardened privacy settings: spoof referrers by default, isolate requests to first party origin, and disable sending the origin header to the HTTP server.
  * Updated extensions bundle:
   - "LibreJS" updated to 7.19rc3, Now with Android support!
- Added "ViewTube" + "disable-polymer-youtube" extensions, which allow to browse and play YouTube videos without JavaScript
   - "TorButton" updated to 0.1.
   - "HTTPS Everywhere" updated to 2019.1.31
   - Improved interface for "Reveal hidden HTML"
- "Third Party Request Blocker" configured to allow requests sub-domains of the same site, known CDN servers (this is fine since we don't send referrers or origin headers), CSS files, and YouTube resource servers.
