Hello!

We are happy to announce that a new Tor Browser release candidate is
ready for testing. Bundles can be found at:

https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/builds/8.0.3-build1/

Tor Browser 8.0.3 contains important Firefox security updates and
includes newer NoScript and HTTPS Everywhere versions.

Moreover, it ships with a donation banner for our end of the year
campaign and includes another round of smaller fixes for Tor Browser 8
issues on Linux systems. We switched as well to a newer API for our
NoScript <-> Torbutton communication, which we need for the Security Slider.
