Update: The website isn't updating right now - presumably due to our
VM transition situation. I'm planning to announce in the morning, or
once the website is updated.

[Tails-dev] Making Tails 2.4 more accessible

Hash: SHA512

It would be nice if the next Tails were distributed more like the
previous versions, not the way that Tails 2.3 was done.

There's a discussion on USENET that might be good for Tails
developers to look at in alt.privacy.anon-server. Subject: Next
Tails is scheduled to go live on June 7.

If anyone would like to comment on USENET that would be
appreciated. Thanks for all that you do.

[Tails-dev] Tor Browser 6.0 is ready for testing

2016-05-26 Thread Georg Koppen 
Hi everyone,

we are pleased to accounce that Tor Browser 6.0 is ready for testing.
Bundles can be found on:

https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/builds/6.0-build1/

This is a major release and the first one in the 6.0 series. It contains
a lot of new features, most notably:

1) Tor Browser is now based on Firefox ESR 45.

2) Beginning with the 6.0 series code-signing for OS X systems is
introduced. This should help our users who had trouble with getting Tor
Browser to work with their Gatekeeper system. There were bundle layout
changes necessary to adhere to code signing requirements. Please report
issues in this regard if you find any. (Note: the bundles are not signed
yet. The bundles that get released will be, though.)

There are numerous other improvements, bug fixes and upgraded Tor
Browser components in the new Tor Browser which are detailed in the
changelog below.
