 This is done now. https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/update_3/release/
 is redirected to https://aus1.torproject.org/torbrowser/update_2/release/.

 (then update_2 is redirected update_3 for Linux and OSX users which should
 get the latest version, while Windows users are getting version 6.5.2
 which uses the new update URL, and also check for SSE2 support)
