Orbot for Android v17.2.1 RC 2 (tor 0.4.8.7)

[n8fr8]

Alright folks, this is it. This is the version we are pushing out to EVERYONE.

Thank you to all who contributed to get us here, to this big v17 transition moment, but especially:

@bitmold @tladesignz @meenbeese @syphyr @uniqx @SkewedZeppelin
AND of course, all the amazing translators who have helped us get to more localizations than ever, include many new indigenous languages not even officially supported by Android (more on that soon)

Also, don't be surprised for now that our friend Orbi is hiding a bit... we don't want to shock people too much with our v17 update, so we will roll Orbi out slowly but surely. They are still hiding somewhere in the app though...

Here are some highlights of recent work...

Hello
You wrote in the tag section RC2
But you have put the RC1 file for download!

[ostad232]

Finally, which one isRC1 or RC2?
Please activate the new version of the webtunnel bridge.
Sometimes, even after 100%, it does not connect, nor does a site open.
Proxy only mode should be available on the first page like before. Please let the March version be a surprise.

On May 6, i got message saying Orbot not configured correctly. So i removed it. Rebooted. Reinstalled. the reinstalled version looked like the version shown here, however while at the DMV, i was having trouble downloading a bank statement for proof of residency so i uninstalled and reinstalled later. Now i have old version of Orbot again. i dont see a list of versions on the website so i can get the most recent.
