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

Change Description

Changed where the timestamp is created so that it reflects the time the log was created and refactored surrounding code to support this. Also some minor tweaks described below in the "How Tested" section.

How Tested

  1. Bootstrap and go to the tor log screen in the settings. Notice that the timestamp accurately reflects the time the log was created, instead of when the tor log screen was opened.
  2. Close and re-open the tor logs screen and notice that the timestamps don't change.
  3. Notice there is a comma between the date and time.
  4. Notice that the timestamps are now selectable.
  5. Notice that the "Copy all" button now includes the timestamps
