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

Merging

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

Change Description

Add basic validation to user provide bridge dialog, and a confirmation step. This still only accepts bridge addresses, but was designed with the Lox invite in mind.

The validation just uses the existing parser, which isn't that comprehensive. E.g. just "0:0" would get a pass. But this is just a first step.

How Tested

Open the dialog with the "Add new bridges" or "Replace bridges" button, should see empty text with placeholder.

If you have existing bridges, use the "Edit bridges" option in the "..." menu instead and the text area should be pre-filled with the current bridges, and no placeholder.

Entering an invalid bridge should show an error with the error line.

Entering a valid bridge, and then the dialog should show a preview of the bridges.
