I have a draft but I’m missing information regarding the reason of this emergency release.

Please reassign it to me once you have it.

I also added two possible fixed to the changelog.

Updated the branch. Regarding the reason for the release, “fixes important security issues in Tor Browser” is the best we can do.

Correct. It also affects Thunderbird to an arguably lower extent (since JavaScript has less attack surface in Thunderbird), which we also fix.

I suppose you’ve noticed that the final changelog is now published. :)
