10 * [[Tails 3.10.1 was released on October 23rd|news/version_3.10.1]] (bugfix release).
12 * Tails 3.11 is [[scheduled for December 11th|contribute/calendar]].
14 The following changes were introduced in Tails 3.10.1:
16 - Hide the [[**PIM** option|doc/encryption_and_privacy/veracrypt#parameters]]
17 when unlocking *VeraCrypt* volumes because *PIM* won't be supported until
18 Tails 4.0. ([[!tails_ticket 16031]])
20 - Rename the buttons in the confirmation dialog of *Tails Installer* to
21 **Install** (or **Upgrade**) and **Cancel** to be less confusing.
22 ([[!tails_ticket 11501]])
27 We finalized our work on the Additional Software feature. Small
28 bugfixes will be shipped in the next release.
30 We are very proud that our work to unlock VeraCrypt volumes has landed
31 in GNOME and is being included in other distributions, as mentioned in
32 the [release announcement of Ubuntu Cosmic
33 Cuttlefish](https://blog.ubuntu.com/2018/10/19/welcome-ubuntu-desktop-18-10).
35 Distributing USB images
36 -----------------------
38 We started working on [[distributing USB
39 images|blueprint/usb_install_and_upgrade/usb_bootable_disk_image]] which will make
40 installing Tails much easier on Windows and macOS:
42 - We have a first version of the code to transform ISO images into USB
43 images ([[!tails_ticket 15293]]).
45 - We wrote the instructions to install an USB image on Debian using GNOME Disks
46 ([[!tails_ticket 15659]]) and Windows ([[!tails_ticket 15808]]) and macOS
47 ([[!tails_ticket 15809]]) using Etcher.
49 This work will be released in Tails 3.12 (January 29).
51 Documentation and website
52 =========================
54 - We updated our [[!tails_roadmap desc="roadmap"]] for the next 2 years.
56 Hot topics on our help desk
57 ===========================
59 1. Several users reported [[!tails_ticket 14754]], Keyboard and mouse do
60 not work after upgrading, but that was fixed in Tails 3.10.1.
62 1. Many users are suffering from [[!tails_ticket 15978]] and are unable
63 to automatically install software on their persistence, sometimes
64 after interrupting the upgrade process.
69 - Following-up on a process started in September, we were able to give
70 more Tails developers access to our Jenkins CI platform. This should
71 make their work more pleasurable and efficient.
73 - We made great progress on our new [[!wikipedia DIY]] low-power
74 backup server. We received the hardware, had great fun with Dremel
75 tools and epoxy resin to make everything fit into the case, and
76 finally installed the operating system. And what about… pictures?
77 [Here they are!](https://pics.puscii.nl/index.php?/category/120-stone) :)
79 - We did most of the work that will allow us to remove the outdated
80 Gitolite instance we run on one of our systems. ([[!tails_ticket 14587]])
82 - We ordered new drives to expand the storage capacity of our main
83 server. ([[!tails_ticket 16041]])
88 We launched our [[yearly donation campaign|/news/2018-fundraiser/]] and raised
89 18% of our goal in the first 2 weeks.
