[Nicolas Vigier]

Tor Browser 7.5.1 is now available from the Tor Browser Project page [1]
and also from our distribution directory [2].

This release features important security updates [3] to Firefox.

In addition to security updates to Firefox (52.7.0esr) this release
includes newer versions of Tor (0.3.2.10 [4]), NoScript (5.1.8.4), and
obfs4proxy (0.0.7).

Moreover, we fixed sandbox incompatibilities for 64bit Windows Vista
users [5] and amended the NoScript whitelist [6], which unbreaks
extension panels on higher security levels.

Note: We did not include the latest HTTPS Everywhere release in
Tor Browser 7.5.1 as we need to first test some changes in its new build
system [7] in an alpha release to make sure we still can build everything
reproducibly. We expect to have this fixed in the next stable release,
though. Sorry for any inconvenience.
