Target Branches

• tor-browser - !fixups to tor-browser-specific commits, new features, security backports
• base-browser and mullvad-browser - !fixups to base-browser-specific commits, new features to be shared with mullvad-browser, and security backports
  • ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Please list the base-browser-specific commits which need to be cherry-picked to the base-browser and mullvad-browser branches here

Target Channels

• Alpha: esr128-14.5
• Stable: esr128-14.0
• Legacy: esr115-13.5

Backporting

Timeline

• No Backport (preferred): patchset for the next major stable
• 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

(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
• Localization: typos and other localization changes that should be also in the release branch
• Other: please explain

Issue Tracking

• Link resolved issues with appropriate Release Prep issue for changelog generation

Change Description

We add an option to the translation CI script to be able to exclude contributions from the legacy branch to our android translation.

How Tested

Ran the script locally and made sure the "Excluding ..." message was only printed for torbrowser_strings.xml.
