Sparrow 2.5.6: eMudhra root certificates removed and bundled Tor updated to meet Tor network requirements
The vendor has released Sparrow v2.5.6: eMudhra root certificates have been removed from the build, and the bundled Tor has been updated to the client protocols currently required by the Tor network. The release also lists improvements to screen-reader support and keyboard operation. The source does not give reasons for removing the certificates or details of the defect.
If you use Sparrow, especially with the bundled Tor: install v2.5.6 from the official download page (linked in the post) without waiting for connection failures — in builds without these changes, the bundled Tor may not meet the protocols required by the network. The changes are listed in the changelog linked in the post. Those already updated to 2.5.6 need no action. The source does not prescribe any separate steps involving keys or seeds.
