Type: Release

Important: A new Update Channel will be added soon, providing more coverage. This is prefacing a change and direction away from manually crowdsourcing rulesets. This change will be reflected on all HTTPS Everywhere sites and app stores. The current rulesets won't be changed and we will still have our remote hosting up and available. However, in the near future we will discontinue PRs for new rulesets. We (EFF) will discuss in depth as we release more details tomorrow.

That said, this release will be mainly focused on adding the new update channel. As we imagine the community will have questions, so resources will be dedicated to making sure everyone understands what is happening. The users won't have to do anything to accommodate the change, but the approach on rulesets for maintainers will change.

Changelog Summary
  • #19910 Bloom filter for rulesets
  • #19949 Firefox Fenix option page updates for Android users
  • #19987 Move to Python 3 from Python 3.6
  • #20049 Add new Update Channel
  • #19991 Fix undefined type access
  • #20044 Fix empty default types

That's fair, I managed to wrap up most of the new update channel work. So I can get to these today.
