Hi all!

Tor Browser 7.0.4 is ready for testing. Bundles can be found on:

https://people.torproject.org/~gk/builds/7.0.4-build1/

This release feature updates to a lot of Tor Browser components. Apart
from the usual Firefox update (to 52.3.0esr) we include a new Tor stable
release (0.3.0.10) + an updated HTTPS-Everywhere (5.2.12) and NoScript
(5.0.8.1).

In this new release we continue to fix regressions that happened due to
the transition to Firefox 52. Most notably, we avoid the scary warnings
popping up when entering passwords on .onion sites without a TLS
certificate (bug 21321). Handling our default start page (about:tor) has
improved, too, so that using the searchbox on it is working again and it
does no longer need enhanced privileges in order to function.

The full changelog since Tor Browser 7.0.2 (for Linux since Tor Browser
7.0.3) is:
