10 How to test Tails 1.1~beta1?
11 ============================
13 1. **Keep in mind that this is a test image.** We have made sure
14 that it is not broken in an obvious way, but it might still contain
17 2. Download the ISO image and its signature:

21 <a class="download-signature"
22 href="https://tails.boum.org/torrents/files/tails-i386-1.1~beta1.iso.sig">Tails 1.1~beta1 signature</a>
24 Note that there is no automatic upgrade targetting this release!

28 1. Have a look at the list of <a href="#known_issues">known issues of
29 this release</a> and the list of
30 [[longstanding known issues|support/known_issues]].
34 If you find anything that is not working as it should, please [[report to
35 us|doc/first_steps/bug_reporting]]! Bonus points if you first check if it is a

42 * Rebase on Debian 7 (Wheezy):
43 - Upgrade literally thousands of packages.
44 - Install LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice.
45 - Fix write access to boot medium via udisks ([[!tails_ticket 6172]]).
48 - Upgrade Tor to 0.2.4.22.
51 - Replace the Windows XP camouflage with an experimental Windows 8
53 - UEFI boot support. This allows you to boot Tails from USB sticks
54 on recent hardware, and especially on Mac. It enables you to use
55 great features such as [[doc/first_steps/persistence]] and
56 [[doc/first_steps/automatic upgrades]]. If you experience
57 problems, please have a look at the
58 [[known issues for UEFI support|blueprint/UEFI/syslinux#known_issues]].
59 - Install Linux 3.14 from Debian unstable for improved hardware support.
60 - Improve integration when run inside VirtualBox. This enables, for
61 instance, more screen resolutions, host-guest file and
62 clipboard sharing. Unfortunately, full functionality is only
63 available when using the 32-bit kernel.
66 - Install seahorse-nautilus, replacing seahorse-plugins (Closes
67 [[!tails_ticket 5516]]).
68 - Install the BookletImposer PDF imposition toolkit.
69 - Install GtkHash and its Nautilus interface (Closes [[!tails_ticket 6763]]).
70 - Install the hledger accounting program.
71 - Tails Greeter's help window now adapts to the screen resolution.
72 - Whisperback now sanitizes attached logs better with respect to DMI
73 data, IPv6 addresses, and serial numbers (Closes
74 [[!tails_ticket 6797]], [[!tails_ticket 6798]],
75 [[!tails_ticket 6804]]).
76 - Integrate the new logo in Tails Installer (Closes
77 [[!tails_ticket 7095]])

84 Known issues in 1.1~beta1
85 =========================
87 * Persistence may be disabled after upgrading to 1.1~beta1
88 ([[!tails_ticket 7343]]). If this happens, get the content of
89 `persistence.conf.insecure_disabled` into `persistence.conf`,
90 using a text editor running as root.
92 * Emergency shutdown isn't triggered when removing the boot media or
93 pressing the power button *before* logging in with Tails Greeter
94 ([[!tails_ticket 7333]], [[!tails_ticket 7335]]).
96 * Pressing the power button *after* logging in with Tails Greeter
97 shows GNOME's shutdown dialog instead of triggering emergency
98 shutdown ([[!tails_ticket 7334]]).
100 * Internal links crash <span class="application">Yelp</a> when
101 browsing the bundled Tails documentation ([[!tails_ticket 7285]]).
103 * Some GNOME notifications are truncated on the right
104 ([[!tails_ticket 7249]]).
106 * The NetworkManager persistence setting is not migrated. It will have
107 to be activated again manually but all settings will be lost
108 ([[!tails_ticket 7338]]).
110 * The web browser's JavaScript performance may be severely degraded
111 ([[!tails_ticket 7127]]). Please let us know if you are experiencing
112 this to a level where it is problematic.
114 * The Windows 8 camouflage has some rough edges that we're working on
115 ([[!tails_ticket 6342]]). We're still interested in early feedback.
117 * The Unsafe Web Browser does not start when the Windows 8 camouflage
118 is activated ([[!tails_ticket 7329]]).
