This is a quick smoke test request to make sure every can upgrade from
the existing/older version okay.

There are two primary known issues:
- - Samsung Galaxy devices that have port 9050 conflict may still cause
Orfox and Orbot to not connect
- - HTTPS Everywhere add-on may not be automatically installed (See
"Install" shortcut on the Orfox homescreen)

Otherwise, enjoy and let me know how it goes. Planning to push this out
to Google Play and F-Droid soon.

BIG THANKS to Amogh, our Orfox lead developer and multi-GSoC student,
for all of his hard work over the last summer on this. Also, incredible
praise to the persistent, diligent Tor Browser team for the insane
amount of work it takes to maintain this beast and deal with the very
real adversaries they are facing constantly.

Orbot 1.2 (TorBrowser-6.5/Fennec45.4.0) is now posted here:
https://github.com/guardianproject/Orfox/releases/tag/Fennec-45.4.0esr%2FTorBrowser-6.5-1%2FOrfox-1.2

Primarily this release is the first in a long while after improving our
ability to stay up-to-date with core Tor Browser development. In
addition, as Mozilla adds more and more features to the core Firefox, we
must review them for any issues related to increased permission request,
access to data, and privacy and network leaks. This is a slow, tedious
job, so thank you for your patience. We expect to have more frequent,
regular releases moving forward.

Orfox specific highlights include

improved integration with Orbot
removal of more unnecessary Android permissions / features (chromecast,
account access)
new icon!
