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 a basic dialog for creating new Lox invites and accesses historic invites.

It includes:

  • a brief description of how "bridge pass" invites work,
  • a label showing how many invites remain,
  • a button for creating a new invite,
  • an area for showing a "Connecting..." message, or an error,
  • a list of existing invites. You can use the context menu to copy an invite to clipboard.

How Tested

I don't have a Lox credential with any invites, so I could not test with the real thing, but I included a fake Lox module within the dialog as well. You can set remainingInvites to change the number of remaining invites, and you can set failError to make the fake invite generation fail.
