> Tor Browser 4.5 -- Apr 28 2015
>  * All Platforms
>    * Update Tor to 0.2.6.7 with additional patches:
>    * Update NoScript to 2.6.9.22
>    * Update HTTPS-Everywhere to 5.0.2
>    * Update meek to 0.17
>    * Update obfs4proxy to 0.0.5
>    * Update Tor Launcher to 0.2.7.4
>    * Update Torbutton to 1.9.2.1

I attempted to update using
tor-browser-linux64-4.5a5-4.5_en-US.incremental.mar and ended up with
the following errors:

    ERROR: There must be at least one signature.
    ERROR: Not all signatures were verified.
    ERROR: There must be at least one signature.
    ERROR: Not all signatures were verified.

and so downloaded the full version instead. I haven't tried the MAR
update before with the 4.5 series, but followed the same process as with
the 4.0 series.
**

**
HTTPS-Everywhere is v 5.0.3, not 5.0.2
Torbutton is v 1.9.2.0, not 1.9.2.1
