Hi,

while our website and Git repositories at boum.org were down these days,
the Tails planet didn't stop.

I've been working a bit on the Tails 0.8 upcoming release.
Here's a quick summary of recent news in our devel Git branch:

  - Tor 0.2.2.32 is now stable -> install it
  - merged feature/support_arbitrary_dns_queries into devel
    (was waiting for Tor 0.2.2.x)
  - Linux 3.0 from Debian sid
  - merged feature/lzma
    (was blocked by a decision upon shipping a new kernel)
    before complaining next time you build a test image,
    you want to read what [[build]] says about it.
  - use ControlSocket, disable ControlPort
  - fix foxyproxy regexps and patterns, again
  - Fetch msva-perl and its dependencies from squeeze-backports.
    It indeed now starts.
  - Install https-everywhere from sid, remove embedded copy of it.


This is starting to look very much like something I want to ship soon.
I think I'll work towards uploading a RC before the end of the week.

Bye,
