I just updated to the latest Tor Browser release (12.5.4, “September 12 2023”) but the blog post link in the release file hasn’t been published yet, resulting in a 404: [https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-1254](https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-1254)

Is it normal for release notes blog posts to lag?

I _think_ that happens from time to time. You can wait ~12 hr.

Probably the delay has something to do with a critical zero-day vulnerability [[CVE-2023-4863](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2023-40/)].

The website pipeline was stuck. The blog post is now published:

> **[New Release: Tor Browser 12.5.4 | Tor Project](https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-1254/)**
>
> Tor Browser 12.5.4 is now available from the Tor Browser download page and also from our distribution directory.
