Major
changes

Install
Thunderbird

+
tails2
and
handle
the
Icedove
→
Thunderbird
migration
,
including
wrt

persistent
data
(
Closes

applied
,
to
ease
future
integration
of
the
Thunderbird
AppArmor
profile
.
Also
,
drop
the
Claws

Icedove
migration
path

-
Upgrade
to
a
new
snapshot
of
the
Debian
and
Torproject
APT
repositories
:
2017051803
(
Closes
:
#
12554
).
-
Upgrade
Linux
packages
to
the
Debian
kernel
4.9.0
-
3
,
based
on
mainline
Linux
4.9.25
.
-
Replace
the
kexec
-
based
memory
erasure
feature
with
the
Linux
kernel
's
memory poisoning (Closes: #12354, #12428). The kexec-based implementation
was not reliable enough and provided a poor UX. Instead, we now return
to the initramfs on shutdown and unmount all filesystems there, so their
content and corresponding caches are erased.

* Minor improvements
- Add a HACKING document for new code contributors.
- Rename tor-controlport-filter to onion-grater.
- Improve onion-grater; thanks to Joy SN <joysn1980@yahoo.com>
for the original patches (Closes: #12173):
· add --listen-interface
· make stdout/stderr unbuffered to ensure Python exceptions are logged
· use yaml.safe_load()
- Improve KeePassX database migration handling (refs: #12375).
- Electrum: set coin selection strategy to '
Privacy
' (Closes: #12177).
- Allow Onion Circuits to access /proc/pid/status.
- Make gdm-shell-tails.desktop more similar to the one shipped
in gnome-shell 3.22.3-3 (refs: #12364).
- Greeter: have the help window point to updated documentation,
use WebKit2 instead of the deprecated WebKit, and hide the sidebar
and banner.
- Use exec to start KeePassX, i.e. avoid leaving the wrapper running.
* Bugfixes
- Install xserver-xorg-legacy, to fix support for various graphics
adapters that still don'
t
work
with
rootless
X
.
Org
(
Closes
:
#
12542
).
-
Use
the
"intel"
X
.
Org
driver
for
Intel
Q35
and
Intel
Atom
D4xx
/
D5xx
/
N4xx
/
N5xx
graphics
controllers
(
refs
:
#
12219
).
-
Give
UEFI
bootloaders
upper
-
case
filenames
(
Closes
:
#
12511
).
Some
UEFI
firmware
,
such
as
the
one
in
the
ThinkPad
X220
,
only
recognize
them
if
they
have
an
upper
-
case
name
.
-
KeePassX
:
enable
"Automatically save after each change"
again
,
like
we
did
in
Tails
2.
x
(
fixes
a
regression
introduced
in
3.0
~
beta3
).
-
Install
packages
needed
by
the
"Test speakers"
functionality
(
Closes
:
#
12549
).
*
Test
suite
-
Check
that
dirmngr
used
the
configured
keyserver
(
Closes
:
#
12371
).
-
Sanity
check
that
Chutney
starts
all
nodes
in
the
network
.
-
Disable
the
Sandbox
option
for
all
nodes
,
until
Tor
#
21943
is
fixed
(
Closes
:
#
12512
).
-
Wait
for
the
desktop
icons
to
be
displayed
in
the
"Tails desktop is ready"
step
.
Let
's not try interacting with the desktop earlier.
- Add tests for memory erasure on "normal" shutdown (refs: #12428).
- Add tests for memory erasure on "emergency" shutdown, and run some
with network enabled (refs: #12354).
- Have eject_cdrom run eject(1) like it used to do in the past.
Otherwise the machine is immediately halted and we cannot test
whether memory has been erased.
- Pass mount_USB_drive structured data instead of free-form text.
* Build system
- Generate the Vagrant base box locally as part of the build process,
instead of downloading it: one less binary blob as input in the build
process (refs: #12409).
- Use Vagrant for builds on Jenkins too (Closes: #11972).
- Tell build script to be more verbose.
- Respect the '
ARTIFACTS
' environment variable if set.
- Add a second disk to handle the apt-cacher-ng cache, and store
the corresponding logs in there (Closes: #11979).
- Use APT snapshots in Vagrant build VMs, create/use a basebox that matches
the branch/tag/commit being tested, and provision a new VM for each build
(Closes: #11980, #11981).
- Ship all build dependencies in the Vagrant basebox, to save some
time when building ISOs.
- Make basebox generation compatible with both GnuPG 1.x and 2.x.
- Set LC_ALL=C, mostly to suppress some warnings.
- Support forcing VM cleanup before/after build.
- Add tasks for cleaning up old or all base boxes (refs: #12409).
- Add build option useful for debugging build failures.
- Remove obsolete build options.
- Make auto/scripts/utils.sh more reusable, use it in Rakefile,
auto/build and setup-tails-builder.
- Add an option controlling whether to merge the base branch.
- Add "rake test" target and import logics from puppet-tails'
wrap_test_suite
script
.
-
Build
Tails
as
a
release
simply
when
HEAD
is
tagged
,
i
.
e
.
we
do
not
require
building
from
a
detached
head
any
more
.
-
Sanity
check
compression
choice
when
building
a
release
.
-
Use
the
host
's resolv.conf when building the Vagrant base box.
Since systemd-networkd is used to manage resolv.conf inside the base box,
and it hasn'
t
been
initialized
yet
(
we
are
not
booting
it
,
just
chrooting
into
it
)
DNS
is
broken
otherwise
.
-
Release
process
:
"release"
a
new
base
box
when
freezing
.
-
Chown
/
scp
artifacts
with
a
single
command
to
limit
overhead
and
warnings
noise
caused
by
repeated
SSH
calls
.
*
Fix
automatic
upgrades
when
one
is
already
applied
(
refs
:
#
12501
).
This
fixes
the
detection
of
stacked
SquashFS
via
aufs
by
bilibop
,
as
reported
on
https

debian

Cherry
-
picked
from
upstream
Git
,
will
be
in
bilibop
0.5.3
(
and
perhaps
0.5.2.1
if
such
a
thing
is
released
for
Stretch
).
