Shouldn't it instead just say "oh, you need to update, I'm doing that for you now"?
When I close down my Tor Browser 7.5 and start it up again, I get the same black arrow, even though it could have already known from last time that it was going to be out of date.
(I've gotten used to the choices that yawning made in the sandboxed tor browser, where it checks for an update on startup, and if there is one, it updates me then.)https://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/issues/25570Allow autodiscovery of the news atom feed2020-06-13T18:14:49ZirlAllow autodiscovery of the news atom feedA <link rel="alternate"> needs to be added to the head of the news page to allow autodiscovery of the feed.

The configuration option which configures what ports tor browser connects through has been moved to a place where it does not appear when the configure button is clicked, and it only accessible after a successful connection. This could make it very difficult for people who are connecting through a firewall that only allows certain ports to configure this option, and I would suggest it is moved back.
The option to configure tor browser to use bridge relays has been renamed to "Tor is censored in my country". Even if in America, it could be a company, school, college, etc. firewall that is blocking the tor network (thus bridges would be useful). I would suggest ISP, firewall, etc, after the word Country.

Bootstrap 3 is no longer maintained and at some point we will need to update to Bootstrap 4 anyway to avoid any brokenness in browsers that may appear (we have already seen brokenness that we've had to patch manually in #25254).
While implementing this, we may also choose to make other design changes or to reorganise navigation on the site. It would probably be worthwhile to hold off making any large changes to the current structure of the site until it has been considered how it would work with the new styles.https://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/issues/25204Switch security.insecure_connection_* prefs to warn users about insecure HTTP...2020-06-16T00:48:13ZcypherpunksSwitch security.insecure_connection_* prefs to warn users about insecure HTTP in FF60-esrThese prefs are much more eye grabbing as they display both the broken padlock and the "Not Secure" text, which is really important in TB context:

https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/irl/metrics-bot.git/tree/src/main/java/org/torproject/metricsbot/tor/BaseRelayImpl.java#n297
For the redesign, mockups are all that's needed as I can do the actual Java code, but it might help to see how they are created. Essentially it builds up the image by drawing on to a canvas at fixed coordinates.
These badges are then converted into a bitmap image and uploaded for Twitter and Mastodon. The size of the badge is currently based on some "best practices" I found on a blog for Twitter, it works mostly in Mastodon too but I wonder if a change of size/aspect ratio would be useful.
In the future, I'd like to write JavaScript too that can build these as SVGs for dynamic inclusion in web pages so that relay/bridge operators can include them on their blog. These means that any dynamic text must be in a font we're allowed to embed.
There are currently 3 image types generated by metrics-bot:
Relay: https://twitter.com/TorAtlas/status/944267221769089024
Bridge: https://twitter.com/TorAtlas/status/944255643728441344
World Map: https://twitter.com/TorAtlas/status/944255648551849987
The world map image is mostly generated by xplanet (http://xplanet.sourceforge.net/) but there is an overlay bar at the bottom to add branding.
One idea that I have been thinking about is adding a "country" badge, which shows relay count, distinct AS count and advertised bandwidth alongside an image of the outline of the shape of that country, but I have no idea where I would get the country shapes from.irlirlhttps://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/issues/24696Moat: network activity SVG needed for Tor Launcher2020-06-13T17:43:55ZMark SmithMoat: network activity SVG needed for Tor LauncherAs part of the work that Kathy and I did for #23136, we added an SVG that is displayed while the Tor Launcher code is waiting for a response from the network.
