Drop
auto
-
fetched
configurations
using
Oauth2
.
They
do
not
work
together
with
Torbirdy
since
it
disables
needed
functionality
(
like
JavaScript
and
cookies
)
in
the
embedded
browser
.
This
should
make
auto
-
configuration
work
for
GMail
again
,
for
instance
.

Closes

·
Pin
Icedove
to
be
installed
from
our
APT
repo
.
Debian
's
Icedove packages still do not have our secure Icedove
autoconfig wizard patches applied, so installing them would be
a serious security regression. (Closes: #11613)
· Add missing icedove-l10n-* packages to our custom APT
repository (Closes: #11550)
- Upgrade to Linux 4.6: (Closes: #10298)
· Install the 686 kernel flavour instead of the obsolete 586
one.
· APT, dpkg: add amd64 architecture. The amd64 kernel flavour is
not built anymore for the i386 architecture, so we need to use
multiarch now.
· Build and install the out-of-tree aufs4 module. (Closes: #10298)
· Disable kernel modesetting for QXL: it'
s
not
compatible
with
Jessie
's QXL X.Org driver.

* Security fixes
- Hopefully fixed an issue which would sometimes make the Greeter
ignore the "disable networking" or "bridge mode"
options. (Closes: #11593)

2.5.1

* Minor improvements
- Install firmware-intel-sound and firmware-ti-connectivity. This
adds support for some sound cards and Wi-Fi adapters. (Closes:
#11502)
- Install OpenPGP Applet from Debian. (Closes: #10190)
- Install gnome-sound-recorder (again). (Closes: #10950)
- Port the "About Tails" dialog to python3.
- Run our initramfs memory erasure hook earlier (Closes:
#10733). The goal here is to:
· save a few seconds on shutdown (it might matter especially for
the emergency one);
· work in a less heavily multitasking / event-driven
environment, for more robust operation.
- Install rngd, and make rng-tools initscript return success when
it can'
t
find
any
hardware
RNG
device
.
Most
Tails
systems
around
probably
have
no
such
device
,
and
we
don
't want systemd to
believe they failed to boot properly. (Closes: #5650)
- Don'
t
force
using
the
vboxvideo
X
.
Org
driver
.
According
to
our
tests
,
this
forced
setting
is
:
·
harmful
:
it
breaks
X
startup
when
the
vboxvideo
*
kernel
*
driver
is
loaded
;
·
useless
:
X
.
Org
now
autodetects
the
vboxvideo
X
.
Org
driver
and
uses
it
when
running
in
VirtualBox
and
the
vboxvideo
kernel
is
not
present
.
-
Port

-
profile
to
python3
(
Closes

-
Disable
non

free
APT
sources
at
boot
time
.
(
Closes

-
Have
a
dedicated

for
the
homepage
of
Tor

in

-
Only
build
the
VirtualBox
kernel
modules
for
the
32

bit
kernel
.
It
's both hard and useless to build it for 64-bit in the current
state of things, as long as we'
re
shipping
a
32
-
bit
userspace
.
Also
,
install

Use

recent
virtual
hardware
in
the
system
under
test
,
i
.
e
.
USB
3.0
(
nec

xhci
)
on
a
pc
-
i440fx
-
2.5
machine
.
I
have
some
vague
hope
that
switching
USB
controllers
might
help
with
problems
we
see
on
Jenkins
when
booting
from
USB
(#
11588
).
Also
,
there
are
chances
that
more
recent
virtual
hardware
sees
more
testing
these
days
,
so
it
sounds
potentially
useful
to
"upgrade"
.
-
Add
support
for
Cucumber
2.4
.
(
Closes
:
#
11690
)
-
Always
write
{
pretty
,
debug
}
logs
and
JSON
output
to
the
artifact
directory
.
-
Disable
info
level
logging
on
Chutney
nodes
to
save
disk
space
.
For
our
network
all
these
add
up
to
>
1
GiB
and
we
didn
't
take this into account when budgeting RAM to the isotesters on
Jenkins.
