Hi!

We are happy to announce the first Tor Browser 8.5.4 release candidate
for wider testing. Bundles can be found at

https://people.torproject.org/~gk/builds/8.5.4-build2/

Tor Browser 8.5.4 contains updates to a number of its components. Above
all, we include Firefox 60.8.0esr which contains important security
fixes. Moreover, after some testing in the alpha series, we start
shipping Tor 0.4.0.5 and update OpenSSL to 1.0.2s for the desktop platforms.

Finally, we add a fundraising banner to help us getting more donations.
Please donate if you can!
