Tor Browser 13.5a5 is now available from the [Tor Browser download page](https://www.torproject.org/download/alpha/) and also from our [distribution directory](https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/13.5a5/).
This version includes important [security updates](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/) to Firefox.
We would like to thank the folowing community members for their contributions this release:
We would also like to bring attention to a work-in-progress merge request from community members NoisyCoil, [tor-browser-build!920](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/merge_requests/920). This work is the first step toward potentially supporting aarch64 Linux builds of Tor Browser in an official capacity. If you've any interest in the work behind cross-compiled Tor Browser builds, this MR is the one keep an eye on!
Thank you both for your contributions! If you would like to contribute, our contributor guide can be found [here](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/team/-/wikis/Development-Information/Tor-Browser/Contributing-to-Tor-Browser).
## Native Android Connect Assist UX
As discussed in the [13.5a3](https://blog.torproject.org/new-alpha-release-tor-browser-135a3/) and [13.5a4](https://blog.torproject.org/new-alpha-release-tor-browser-135a4/) release posts, we have been working on bringing the connect-assist feature from Desktop to Android. The work continues, and we now have an initial implementation of this feature exposed via native Android interface.
You can access the native Android interface by navigating to `Settings > Tor Network` and selecting `Enable beta connection features`. From there, select `Native Android UI`. The `HTML UI` option is still available for debugging purposes, but will be removed once this feature stabilises in 13.5.
Please give this feature a go! The native UI is not yet feature complete but regardless, if you run into problems please open an issue on our [gitlab](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser) or on our [forum](https://forum.torproject.org).
