Hi, here is Tails report for June, 2013.
Releases ======== Tails 0.19 was released on June 26. <https://tails.boum.org/news/version_0.19/> Metrics ======= - 140 517 connections of Tails to the Tor network. This makes a boot every 18.5 seconds on average (this is an approximation from the requests made to the security announcements feed when Tails is connected to Tor). - 66 non-empty bug reports were received through WhisperBack. - 110 comments were posted on the forum, with 32 signed by Tails, before we closed it. Code ==== - Tails was upgraded to Linux 3.9. <https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/log/?h=feature/linux-3.9> - The feature/set-wireless-devices-state branch was merged, eventually. <https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/log/?h=feature/set-wireless-devices-state> - We tried to get in touch with the WiNoN developers. No reply so far. - Many branches were merged just in time for the 0.19 freeze. - Two serious bugs ere discovered while testing 0.19~rc1, and fixed for 0.19 final. This reinforces our conviction that we should run our test suite automatically as soon as possible. <https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/log/?h=bugfix/no_passwordless_sudo> <https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/log/?h=bugfix/buggy_aufs_vs_unsafe-browser_workaround> - Some solutions to get rid of the JRuby messwere experimented with. <https://tails.boum.org/todo/test_suite:_getting_rid_of_the_jruby_mess/> - Access restriction to ptrace was updated for the upcoming Debian kernel. <https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/log/?h=feature/restrict-access-to-ptrace> - The Iceweasel warning when leaving HTTPS was disabled. Thanks to winterfairy for the initial patch. <https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/log/?h=bugfix/dont-warn-when-leaving-https> - The wrong search engine bug was fixed. <https://tails.boum.org/todo/fix_localized_iceweasel_search_engine/> <https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/log/?h=bugfix/localized-iceweasel-search-engine> - Git over HTTPS was fixed. <https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/log/?h=bugfix/git-https> - All Pidgin protocols but IRC and Jabber/XMPP were disabled. <https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/log/?h=feature/less-pidgin-code> - The WhisperBack help was partly updated. <https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/log/?h=feature/update_whisperback_help> - Information about Alsa was added to WhisperBack reports. <https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/log/?h=feature/alsa-info-in-bug-reports> - The "remember additional packages" feature was adapted to work with newer live-boot. <https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/log/?h=bugfix/new_persistence_location> Documentation and Website ========================= - We closed the forum. <https://tails.boum.org/forum/> - We decided not to follow Tor to StackExchange yet. We need more time to decide what we will do, now that our previously preferred option was discarded. - The release process was automated a bit. So was our custom Iceweasel package release process. Localization and Internationalization ===================================== - Our POT files were merged first, and then we intltoolize'd our translation system. This should help pushing these strings to Transifex. <https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/log/?h=feature/merge-pot-files> <https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/log/?h=feature/intltoolize> On-going discussions ==================== - Flashproxy <https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-dev/2013-June/003121.html> - Accessibility for blind and visually impaired users <https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-dev/2013-June/003135.html> - Making the boot medium read-only <https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-dev/2013-June/003139.html> - Wrong MIME type returned for ISO signatures <https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-dev/2013-June/003200.html> - Download over HTTP by default? <https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-dev/2013-June/003211.html> - Network fingerprint <https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-dev/2013-June/003216.html> Infrastructure ============== - Our Git repositories are now allhosted in a central place. Thanks a lot to immerda.ch for their continued support! <https://git-tails.immerda.ch/> <https://tails.boum.org/contribute/git/> - We worked on improving backups for our infrastructure. Funding ======= - We kept working on funding with sponsor Foxtrot. - We are working on short-term funding with sponsor Bravo. - The way we will contract bounty hunters was rebooted. Stay tuned.
