Reminder to self for the future: Security advisories seem to no-longer get linked from the release notes. For 67.0.2 there is an advisory, but only for windows.

Ken, do you know if this fixes the rampant tab-crashing issue? It's happening on both Linux and Windows, but anytime I leave a tab alone for 15 minutes I'll go back to it and it will say that it crashed and offer to restore it.
Seeing as it affects both Windows and Linux, I'm inclined to think that it isn't system-harfbuzz like it was previously

No idea - I occasionally see a tab crashing, but less than once a week (mostly I'm using one desktop and the laptop). I do seem to remember cases where a tab crashed several times and I probably closed it, but not recently.

If it helps in the future (since I know Trac has an indexer), this is what happens.
This was on a tab that I leave open for ftp.gnome.org to fetch release notes for GNOME packages. I left it alone for a day, and tabbed back over to verify that I had the right ones for glib-2.60.4, and found that the tab had crashed

Using rustc-1.35.0 and harfbuzz-2.5.0 plus the patch, 67.0.2 builds and seems to work (the patched version also works with an earlier harfbuzz and rustc-1.32.0, gcc-8.3.0 on an alsa build.
