37 "sums up the work that was done on Tails in May and June 2011."

47 msgid "New releases\n"
52 "The new Tails 0.7.2 bugfix and security release was out on June 13th. See "
53 "its [[announce|news/version_0.7.2]] for details."
58 msgid "Documentation\n"
63 "All main pages of Tails website have been vastly improved. Content is now "
64 "better structured and easier to read; it also looks a lot nicer."
69 "Many efforts have been put in the [[download]] page that now provides a much "
70 "improved step by step explanation of how to get, verify, install and use "
71 "Tails. Screenshots, Windows and Mac OS X instructions are included for even "
72 "more awesomeness, along with dozens of other tiny little layout and design "
78 "The *walkthrough* that was initially imported from Incognito is still "
79 "outdated, but sections that need to be reworked have been clearly labeled as "
85 "More work on the documentation is happening in the [public `doc-rework` Git "
86 "branch](http://git.immerda.ch/?p=amnesia.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/doc-"
87 "rework). Tails developers are not that skilled in documentation writing, so "
88 "[[help is needed and much welcome|contribute/how/documentation]]!"
93 "Our public email address was renamed to <tails@boum.org>; its [[OpenPGP key|"
94 "doc/about/openpgp_keys]] was updated accordingly. We also have [[documented|"
95 "doc/get/trusting_tails_signing_key]] how to get to trust our OpenPGP keys."
105 "As [[announced in the previous report|news/report_2011_03-04]], the Tails "
106 "project is participating in the Google Summer of Code. One student committed "
107 "to work on the [[tails-greeter|todo/TailsGreeter]], which will enable us to "
108 "implement many features that depend on a better boot menu. His progress can "
109 "be followed on the [[project's development blog|todo/TailsGreeter/blog]]. "
110 "The code can be seen in the [tails-greeter Git repository](http://git."
111 "immerda.ch/?p=max/tails-greeter.git;a=summary) and in a [feature branch in "
112 "the main Tails Git repository](http://git.immerda.ch/?p=amnesia.git;"
113 "a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/feature/tails-greeter)."
118 "With this new boot menu in mind, a solution was implemented to offer a "
119 "[[safer handling of administrative privileges within Tails|todo/"
120 "better_root_access_control]]. It will be enabled as soon as tails-greeter is "
121 "ready for prime-time."
131 msgid "Upcoming release\n"
136 "Unless bad security issues are detected, the next Tails version will be a "
137 "major one, dubbed as 0.8. It should contain a few new features:"
140 #. type: Bullet: ' * '
142 "To make Tails users harder to single out from other Tor users, Pidgin "
143 "nickname generation process was improved."
146 #. type: Bullet: ' * '
148 "An easily reachable immediate shutdown button was added to the top panel; "
149 "moreover, the computer is now shutdown when any power-related button is "
150 "pressed (power, sleep, lid close)."
153 #. type: Bullet: ' * '
154 msgid "Accessibility: install a screen magnifier and a screen reader."
157 #. type: Bullet: ' * '
159 "The current on-screen keyboard shipped in Tails (namely: onBoard) never "
160 "made it into Debian. We have been carrying the burden of forward-porting our "
161 "patches for more than one year. Florence, a new, nicer and more featureful "
162 "on-screen keyboard entered Debian a few weeks ago and [[should be shipped|"
163 "todo/virtual_keyboard_in_Debian]] in Tails by the next release."
166 #. type: Bullet: ' * '
167 msgid "The PiTIVi video editor is now installed in Tails."
171 msgid "It should also include several minor fixes and improvements:"
174 #. type: Bullet: ' * '
176 "The handling of hardware clocks that are skewed enough to prevent initial "
177 "connection to Tor was fixed."
180 #. type: Bullet: ' * '
181 msgid "The firewall was tightened a bit more."
184 #. type: Bullet: ' * '
186 "Tails build system now uses more elegant and robust ways to disable swapoff "
187 "and hide items from the GNOME menu."
190 #. type: Bullet: ' * '
192 "Frequent disconnections while using Gobby were fixed by adding its port to "
193 "Tor's LongLivedPorts list."
196 #. type: Bullet: ' * '
198 "VirtualBox 4.x guest packages are now installed. We have prepared the "
199 "backports that were pushed to the Debian Backports archive."
202 #. type: Bullet: ' * '
204 "The [arm](http://www.atagar.com/arm/) terminal status monitor for Tor is now "
210 "This new major release will introduce several changes that might be tricky "
211 "to get totally right at first. Enthusiasts, your help will be very welcome "
212 "to test preview images once they are published. Stay tuned!"
217 msgid "Installing and upgrading Tails onto a USB stick\n"
222 "As [[announced in the previous report|news/report_2011_03-04]], a few of us "
223 "have started working on a tool for [[easy install and upgrade of Tails onto "
224 "USB sticks|todo/usb_install_and_upgrade]], with support for an encrypted "
225 "persistent volume in mind."
230 "Research has also been made on how to reduce download size (and times) of "
231 "minor releases. A solution to this problem was thought through and its "
232 "working was confirmed by preliminary testing."
237 msgid "Upcoming features\n"
242 "As an alternative to [[supporting Flash|todo/Flash_support]], we are "
243 "considering [[shipping a HTML5-compliant web browser|todo/"
244 "html5_ready_browser]]. We have been investigating shipping [[todo/"
245 "Iceweasel_5.x]] and conducted some initial tests. Doing so would "
246 "additionally allow us to [[todo/stop_using_polipo_in_iceweasel]]... and the "
247 "[[problems|todo/applications_audit/polipo]] it causes."
252 "We have acknowledged Claws Mail usability shortcomings, especially when "
253 "using slow connections. After [[some more research|todo/"
254 "Return_of_Icedove?]], it looks like Icedove (Debian's rebranded version of "
255 "Mozilla Thunderbird) could be a proper candidate to replace Claws Mail; a "
256 "few tweaks and verifications are needed before this happens, though."
261 "Compressing the Tails SquashFS using [[XZ (formerly known as LZMA) "
262 "compression|todo/use_lzma_compression]] will lower the generated images' "
263 "size by about 100MB! XZ has been supported in the mainlaine Linux kernel "
264 "since 2.6.38, and has since made its way into kernels shipped by Debian. "
265 "Hence, Tails is likely to use this feature soon."
270 "Patches to mute the system's sound levels at boot time were [contributed]"
271 "(https://boum.org/pipermail/tails-dev/2011-June/000354.html). However, they "
272 "need more polishing before we can merge them."
277 "The lack of support of arbitrary DNS queries being annoying for some Tails "
278 "(power-)users, we have [[made some progress|todo/"
279 "support_arbitrary_dns_queries]] towards a resolution of this issue; the "
280 "implementation of a proper solution was blocked by [[!tor_bug 3369]]; "
281 "therefore, we contributed a tiny patch to fix it. This issue will be solved "
282 "once Tor 0.2.2.x is stabilized and shipped in Tails."
287 "We have also worked towards Tails-compatible support of bridges in Tor and "
293 "With respect to [[todo/VoIP_support]], we have refreshed our VoIP software "
294 "round-up and got in touch with some of their developers to get a better idea "
295 "of which one we will include in Tails."
300 "To end with, the Tails core developers have recently discussed nearly every "
301 "pending task whose implementation was blocked by the lack of a clear "
302 "decision. As a consequence, our [[!tails_roadmap]] was updated. This makes "
303 "it possible for us, and [[any other contributor|contribute]], to move "
304 "forward on many topics."
