Torbutton 1.4.1 Released
Torbutton 1.4.1 has been released at: https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/
This release features a "New Identity" menu option that clears browser state, closes tabs, and obtains a fresh Tor circuit for future requests. It also features a fix for breakage with Hotmail, and further isolates browser state and identifiers to the url bar domain (see https://blog.torproject.org/blog/improving-private-browsing-modes-do-no…).
However, the New Identity button and the Hotmail fix are only available to Tor Browser Bundle users. If you are still using Torbutton with a vanilla Mozilla Firefox, we strongly recommend you download the Tor Browser Bundle 2.2.x alphas from https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/ and report problems you experience, as we will be declaring them stable within the next release or two.
Stay tuned for a new Tor Browser release that contains Torbutton 1.4.1 tomorrow.

* bug 523: Implement New Identity (for TBB only)
* bug 3580: Fix hotmail/live breakage (for TBB only)

Some TBB users need to set a
Some TBB users need to set a proxy or a bridge in order to use Tor. So we can't do away with a GUI interface entirely.
If somebody wanted to make a lighter-weight Vidalia, or work on a way to make Vidalia lighter-weight, that'd be great. Keep in mind that it would be best for the interface to work on all platforms (as Vidalia does via Qt).
Please, will there ever be
Please, will there ever be released Google Chrome (Chromium) Tor Browser?
It would be great, many people like this browser.
Can we get rid of Vidalia
Can we get rid of Vidalia for the Browser Bundle? Do Browser Bundle get into tweaking all the fiddly bits, or is it just a heavy way to launch tor?
