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
  • Censorship event: patchset enables censorship circumvention
  • 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

Change Description

Work-in-progress MR to update our release-prep templates to more accurately reflect the process, fix a few footguns, and take into account the relprep.py script which now exists. Have also converted various blocks to

blocks

instead for easier copy+paste workflow.

Will also be adding updated stable templates and a new legacy template for Windows+macOS 13.5.

TODO:

  • Tor Browser Alpha
  • Mullvad Browser Alpha
  • Tor Browser Stable
  • Mullvad Browser Stable
  • Tor Browser Legacy

How Tested
