Backporting

Timeline

  • Immediate: patchset needed as soon as possible
  • Next Minor Stable Release: patchset that needs to be verified in nightly before backport
  • Eventually: patchset that needs to be verified in alpha before backport
  • No Backport (preferred): patchset for the next major stable

(Optional) Justification

  • Emergency security update: patchset fixes CVEs, 0-days, etc
  • Critical bug-fix: patchset fixes a bug in core-functionality
  • Consistency: patchset which would make development easier if it were in both the alpha and release branches; developer tools, build system changes, etc
  • Sponsor required: patchset required for sponsor
  • Other: please explain

Merging

  • Merge to mullvad-browser - !fixups to mullvad-browser-specific commits, new features, security backports
  • Merge to base-browser -!fixups to base-browser-specific commits, new features to be shared with tor-browser
    • NOTE: if your changeset includes patches to both base-browser and mullvad-browser please clearly label in the change description which commits should be cherry-picked to base-browser after merging

Change Description

Mullvad Browser #198 (closed) is about adding the various translations to Mullvad Browser.

However, we should also advertise them with the language notification bar.

In #70 (closed) I used a hack: I set the preference about having shown them to true, to avoid having the notification and then show only English as available.

In tor-browser-build!775 (merged) we're enabling the languages and injecting the Mullvad Fluent files, but we should also tell users that now localization is available by showing them the bar.

If everything goes as planned, updating users will switch from their old default (true) to the new default (false), and they'll also be presented the notification.

However, I didn't test it.
