Hi,
OnionShare’s build system relies on a python script that tries to detect the latest Tor Browser version from https://aus1.torproject.org/torbrowser/update_3/release/downloads.json
We’ve been using that script to parse the links out for win64, macos, and linux-x86_64 platforms.
However, it seems that ‘recently’ (within the last couple weeks? days?) That JSON only lists win64 and win32 links.
Is that expected, and should we be fetching that info from somewhere else now?
If unexpected and unreported til now, well, now you know
Thanks team!

Guess it is a bug and related to this Windows only security fix for Firefox, which leaves us with different versions and only latest release number is reported…
You could parse the filenames in this folder for your script: Index of /torbrowser/update_3/release

I believe the downloads.json is deprecated and downloads-$platform.json can be used depending on the platform, e.g. download-linux-x86_64.json
