Hi,

> I just released an upstream version of Tor Browser Launcher that is
> fairly urgent to get into Debian. TBL checks for updates by loading the URL:
> 
> https://check.torproject.org/RecommendedTBBVersions
> 
> But tomorrow (not sure what time) it will get changed to:
> 
> https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/RecommendedTBBVersions
> 
> I was hoping there would just be a redirect from the old URL to the new
> URL, but just learned earlier tonight that that's not the case [1].
> 
> This release includes a quick fix for this problem. It tries to load the
> new URL first, and if it fails with a 404 error it falls back to the old
> URL. (The next release can remove the old URL code altogether.)
> 
> So without this update, at of some point tomorrow when people run
> torbrowser-launcher it will fail to install/update altogether.

Started working on it.
