OK, thanks a lot for the update! I totally missed that but I have quite some backlog reading to do on Tor Browser team meeting minutes. I'll update our release schedule and other plans accordingly. This relaxes me a bit regarding #27466, #26553, and #28044 (Tor bugs, not Tails tickets). Does this mean that the first 8.5.x release that has *no* corresponding 8.0.x will be the 2019-05-14 one? > That said, also keep in mind that Pwn2Own will be between March 20-22 > and Firefox is one of the targets.

I wish Mozilla made it so they have a scheduled release *after* Pwn2Own instead of a couple days before… anyway, thanks, that's definitely something we should keep in mind. Added to our calendar and to our checklist for building release management schedules, so we rely a bit less on you to remind us of such important things :) Cheers, -- intrigeri _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list [email protected] https://www.autistici.org/mailman/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
