I've started testing for the 0.10 release, but with these additional
commits (already in the testing branch, so we want them) w.r.t 0.10-rc1:

3aa6ad2 Added localization for htpdate notification.
98bd92c Added a notification for htpdate.
2340cb0 htpdate: write success file even when not within
        {min,max}adjust.
507cf85 htpdate: omit -f argument to not download full pages.
f79ef3f Update about Tails and design document.
187cefd Update MAT to the 0.2.2-1~bpo60+1 bugfix release.
d4ec67b Revert "Limit RAM usage to 3GB."


Also note that I've done a few changes to the test suite (commits
a122304, 46fdbf8, 1ee90be, 48d1c39), and my tests below has taken them
into account.

Tested:
-------

# Iceweasel

# Pidgin

- OTR: For whatever reason, when I initiate an OTR session with another
user, the other user gets:

    $nick@??? has requested an Off-the-Record private
    conversation <http://otr.cypherpunks.ca/>.  However, you do not have
    a plugin to support that.


But the OTR session starts after that any way. Just weird.

- CTCP replies: Only PING and VERSION produce responses.

# Use of untrusted partitions

# Whisperback (Someone else than me did it for 0.10-rc1)

# Claws

# GnuPG

# Time

# Virtualization support

# I2P

# Misc

# Tor enforcement

Tested everything except:

- at a place with working IPv6: try connecting to a known-working
IPv6-enabled server on its IPv6 address over TCP and icmp6.

Not tested:
-----------

# Tor enforcement

- at a place with working IPv6: try connecting to a known-working
IPv6-enabled server on its IPv6 address over TCP and icmp6.

# Monkeysphere

I'm not sure how to explicitly test this one, but I visited a couple of
https sites when packet sniffing a whole Tails session without any
leaks, so I guess this test is dine (?).

# erase memory on shutdown

We know this one is problematic, and I'm not sure what we should do
about it.

Cheers!
