I must note that this is not the first time that I found such ambiguity in an announcement on this blog that involved one or more alpha packages. (And still available at the normal URL) As long as you are running this version, you do not need to update.' 'The regular, NON-alpha TBBs have not been updated yet the latest version is still 2.3.25-6, released on April 4th. This ambiguity could be completely avoided by removing the current final sentence that I quoted above and replacing it with something like the following, preferably in bold-text: (in addition to changing the header as I suggested above)

So I went to the 'normal URL' ( ), only to find that the TBB available there, 2.3.25-6, is the same one that had been released on April 4th ( ). If it is only the /alpha/ TBBs that have been updated, then this could have been made clear by simply adding the word 'alpha' before 'Tor Browser Bundles'.įrom the first three paragraphs of the body of the post, I would have thought that it is indeed only the /alpha/ TBBs that have been updated.īut then comes the final sentence, 'The non-Alpha bundles are available at the normal URL.', suggesting that the regular, NON-ALPHA TBBs have /also/ been updated. The header, 'New Tor 0.2.4.12-alpha packages and Tor Browser Bundles', could be parsed /either/ way. This post is confusing regarding whether or not the NON-alpha bundles have /also/ been updated.
