release

Major
new
features
and
changes
-
Remove
Claws
Mail
:
Icedove
is
now
the
default
email
client
(
Closes
:
#
10167
).
-
Upgrade
Tor
Browser
to
5.5
a6
(
Closes
:
#
10858
).
Note
:
we
partially
,
and
temporarily
,
disabled
the
Tor
Browser
window
resizing
feature
;
it
interferes
with
the
automated
test
suite
by
causing
misclicks
,
and
will
supposedly
appear
in
a
different
form
in
the
final
Tor
Browser
5.5
release
anyway
.

Bugfixes
-
Don
't offer the option, in Tor Browser, to open a downloaded file with
an external application (Closes: #9285). Our AppArmor confinement was
blocking most such actions anyway, resulting in poor UX; bugfix on 1.3.
Accordingly, remove the now-obsolete exception we had in the Tor
Browser AppArmor profile, that allowed executing seahorse-tool.
- Fix performance issue in Tails Upgrader, that made it very slow to apply
an automatic upgrade; bugfix on 1.7 (Closes: #10757).
- Use our wrapper script to start Icedove from the GNOME menus.
- Make it possible to localize our Icedove wrapper script.
- List Icedove persistence option in the same position where Claws Mail
used to be, in the persistent volume assistant (Closes: #10832).
- Fix Electrum by installing the version from Debian Testing
(Closes: #10754). We need version >=2.5.4-2, see #9713;
bugfix on 2.0~beta1. And, explicitly install python-qt4 to enable
Electrum'
s
GUI
:
it
's a Recommends, and we'
re
not
pulling
it
ourselves
via
other
means
anymore
.
-
Restore
default
file
associations
(
Closes

#

;

on

the
list

enabled
GNOME
Shell
extensions
,
which
might
fix
the
"GNOME Shell sometimes leaves Classic mode"
bug
seen
in
2.0
~
beta1
:
·
Remove
obsolete
"Alternative Status Menu"
,
that
is
not
shipped
in
Debian
anymore
.
·
Explicitly
enable
the
GNOME
Shell
extensions
that
build
the

Upgrade
I2P
to
0.9.23
-
2
~
deb8u
+
1.
-
Disable
I2P
's time syncing support.
- Install Torbirdy from official Jessie backports, instead of from
our own APT repository (Closes: #10804).
- Make GNOME Disks'
passphrase
strength
checking
new
feature
work
,
by
installing
cracklib
-
runtime
(
Closes
:
#
10862
).
-
Add
support
for
Japanese
in
Tor
Browser
.
-
Install
xserver
-
xorg
-
video
-
intel
from
Jessie
Backports
(
currently
:
2.99.917
-
2
~
bpo8
+
1
).
This
adds
support
for
recent
chips
such
as
Intel
Broadwell
's HD Graphics (Closes: #10841).
- Improve a little bit post-Greeter network unblocking:
· Sleep a bit longer between deleting the blacklist, and triggering udev;
this might help cure #9012.
· Increase logging, so that we get more information next time someone
sees #9012.
· Touch /etc/modprobe.d/ after deleting the blacklist; this might help,
in case all this is caused by some aufs bug.
* Test suite
- Update I2P tests for Jessie, and generally make them more robust.
- Update Electrum tests for 2.5.4-2 (Closes: #10758).
- Add workaround for libvirt vs. guestfs permissions issue, to allow
running the test suite on current Debian sid.
- Fix buggy code, that happened to work by mistake, in the Seahorse
test cases; bugfix on 1.8.
- Update test suite images due to CSS change on Tails'
website
.
-
Adapt
Tor
Browser
tests
to
work
with
the
5.5
series
.
-

Remove
obsolete
scenario
,
that
tested
opening
a
downloaded
file
with
an
external
application
,
which
we
do
not
support
anymore
.
-
Improve
robustness
of
the
"Tails OpenPGP keys"
scenario
(
Closes
:
#
10378
).
*
Build
system
-
Bump
amount
of
disk
space
needed
to
build
Tails

The

of
the
Japanese
