Upcoming

major
release
.

Minor
improvements
-
Replace
the
too
-
easy
-
to
-
misclick
shutdown
button
with
a
better
"Shutdown Helper"
Gnome
applet
.
-
Display
~/
Persistent
in
GNOME
Places
and
GtkFileChooser
if
it
is
mounted
.
-
Set
Unsafe
Browser
's window title to "Unsafe Browser".
- Install ekeyd to support the EntropyKey.
- Install font for Sinhala.
- Update Poedit to 1.5.4.
- Kill Vidalia when restarting Tor.
Doing this as early as possible exposes Vidalia'
s
"broken onion"
icon
to
users
less
.
-
Hide
the
persistence
setup
launchers
in
kiosk
mode
.
-
Add
a
shell
library
for
Tor
functions
.
These
are
shared
among
multiple
of
our
scripts
.
*
Bugfixes
-
Disable
IPv6
on
all
network
interfaces
.
This
is
a
workaround
for
the
IPv6
link
-
local
multicast
leak
that
was
recently
discovered
.
Tails
has
no
local
service
that
listens
on
IPv6
,
so
there
should
be
no
regression
,
hopefully
,
unless
one
wants
to
play
with
OnionCat
and
VoIP
,
but
those
of
us
should
know
how
to
workaround
this
anyway
.
-
live
-
persist
:
Fix
variable
mismatch
,
fixing
probe
white
-
list
.
Tails
may
previously
have
been
able
to
list
GPT
partitions
labelled
"TailsData"
on
hard
drives
(
!) as valid persistence volumes...
-
live
-
persist
:
Fix
--
media
option
when
no
devices
are
attached
.
Earlier
,
if
it
was
set
to
e
.
g
.
'removable-usb'
and
no
USB
storage
was
connected
,
$
whitelistdev
would
be
empty
,
which
is
interpreted
like
all
devices
are
ok
by
the
rest
of
the
code
.
-
Fix
SCIM
in
the
autostarted
web
browser
:
save
IM
environment
variables
to
a
file
during
Desktop
session
startup
,
and
export
them
into
the
autostarted
browser
's environment.
- Talk of DVD, not of CD, in the shutdown messages.
- Make tordate work in bridge mode with an incorrect clock.
When using a bridge Tor reports TLS cert lifetime errors (e.g. when
the system clock is way off) with severity "info", but when no bridge
is used the severity is "warn". tordate/20-time.sh depends on grepping
these error messages, so we termporarily increase Tor'
s
logging
severity
when
using
bridge
mode
.
If
we
don
't do this tordate will
sleep forever, leaving Tor in a non-working state.
· White-list root to use Tor'
s
ControlPort
.
·
Add
logging
for
is_clock_way_off
().
·
Remove
Tor
's log before time syncing.
We depend on grepping stuff from the Tor log (especially for
tordate/20-time.sh), so deleting it seems like a Good Thing(TM).
· Stop Tor before messing with its log or data dir.

* iceweasel
- Set iceweasel homepage to the news section on the Tails website.
... using the localized one when possible.
- Hide the iceweasel add-on bar by default.
Now that we don'
t
want
to
ship
the
Monkeysphere
addon
anymore
,
that
was
the
only
one
displayed
in
there
,
we
can
as
well
hide
the
whole
bar
.
-
Don
't hide the AdBlock-Plus button in the add-on bar anymore. Now that
we hide the whole addon bar, we can get rid of this old
UX improvement.
- Do not install a placeholder (fake) FireGPG iceweasel extension anymore.
It was shipped from 0.10 (early 2012) to 0.15 (late November),
so the migration period should be over now.
- Don'
t
install
xul
-
ext
-
monkeysphere
anymore
.
The
implication
of
the
current
keyserver
policy
are
not
well
understood
,
Monkeysphere
is
little
used
in
Tails
,
and
we
're not sure
anymore it would be our first bet for the web browser profile with no
CA. Let'
s
keep
the
various
configuration
bits
(
e
.
g
.
FoxyProxy
,
patching
MSVA
),
though
,
so
that
advanced
users
who
are
used
to
have
Monkeysphere
in
Tails
just
have
to
install
the
package
.
*
Build
system
-
Install
the
"standard"
task
with
tasksel
for
better
consistency
in
the
Tails
ISO
images
built
in
various
environments
.
-
Install
p7zip
-
full
.
It
's a dep by file-roller, but we explicily use it
elsewhere, and it'
s
better
to
be
safe
than
sorry
.
-
Remove
pinning
of
libvpx0
to
sid
.
This
package
is
part
of
Squeeze
,
and
not
from
testing
/
sid
.
We
have
been
shipping
the
version
from
Squeeze
for
a
while
.
-
Remove
config
/
chroot_local
-
packages
/
from
.
gitignore
.
The
documented
way
for
"external"
contributors
to
add
custom
packages
is
to
put
them
in
chroot_local
-
packages
,
and
once
we
pull
we
import
any
such
package
into
our
APT
repo
and
rewrite
the
history
appropriately
.
Also
,
the
ability
to
add
packages
in
there
and
not
see
them
in
"git
status"
makes
it
very
easy
to
build
tainted
ISO
images
with
non
-
standard
packages
,
which
makes
some
of
us
fear
can
lead
to
hard
to
debug
situations
.
-
Make
it
clearer
what
can
and
cannot
be
done
in
terms
of
local
packages
.
