I am a android user. I use fdroid for update and i have not been getting update since 115.2.1-release (13.5.3), even here Index of /torbrowser/13.5.7 i cant find arm64 v8a version. Is this fine?
The currently released version of Tor Browser on Android is 13.5.3. This does not include the high severity security vulnerability fixes from a month ago, nor does it include the critical severity vulnerability fixes from a few days ago, that are currently being exploited in the wild.
When are you going to update the version released on F-Droid to 13.5.7?
Right now many of us are left running with a vulnerable and actively exploited version.
I have heard reports 13.5.7 is released on Google Play now, today or yesterday, but F-Droid is still missing over a month worth of security updates.
Thank you for your understanding. I have also sent an e-mail to Guardian Project, since I am uncertain who is responsible for pushing out the updates.
No, it is not fine. It seems like a very serious oversight from the Tor Project or the Guardian Project, since the latest released version on F-Droid contains critical and actively exploited security vulnerabilities. I am trying to get in touch with both projects to get this resolved ASAP.
Thanks for reporting. I have filed a ticket on our bug tracker, Tor Browser for Android not getting updates via GP repo on F-Droid since version 13.5.3 (#43208) · Issues · The Tor Project / Applications / Tor Browser · GitLab

The issue got resolved a few hours ago. The new Tor Browser version is available through F-Droid now, and should be auto-updating fine again as new versions are released.
