https://check.torproject.org/RecommendedTBBVersions works as is. Please consider documenting and finalizing the version format. TorButton uses it, torbrowser-launcher uses it, Whonix's Tor Browser updater uses it. Perhaps other scripts are using it as well, such as Fedora's TBB packaging? Please don't break it! I guess these projects are better off not implementing an rss parser. Also RecommendedTBBVersions has a feature to mark multiple versions as still valid. For example, revently it included "3.5.0-Linux" and "3.5.1-Linux" at the same time for a while. Why not better implement and rss feed for https://blog.torproject.org/category/tags/tbb ? New versions are announced there anyway. And use of the "tbb" tag is constant. Maybe there already is an rss link and I don't see it? -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
