Hi!

We are happy to announce that our first point release in our 8.0 series
is ready for testing. Bundles can be found at:

https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/builds/8.0.1-build1/

We used the 8.0.1 release to ship the new stable Tor (0.3.4.8) which
solves an annoying crash bug on older macOS systems (10.9.x).

We furthermore found a better solution to our User Agent treatment: on
desktop platforms Tor Browser will send a Windows User Agent at the
network level while still allowing to query the unspoofed User Agent
with JavaScript. This takes concerns about any server passively logging
the User Agent into account while still avoiding broken websites as good
as we can.

Finally, we included a banner for signing up to Tor News which allows
anyone to stay up-to-date about things going on in the Tor universe
(which is, admittedly, sometimes hard to keep track of).

Below is the full changelog since 8.0:
