Hi,

Below you can find my results from today's testing. All looks well so
far except that the whisperback HS seems to be down (?). At the bottom
you can also find a list of the remaining tests (for the convenience of
any one that want to help with the testing).

> # Iceweasel


Same as in 0.12 (i.e. mostly ok).

> # Pidgin


Same as in 0.12 (i.e. mostly ok).

> # Tor enforcement


Same as in 0.12 (i.e. mostly ok).

> # Use of untrusted partitions


All ok.

> # Claws


All ok.

> # Whisperback
>
> * can a bug report e-mail be sent?


No. My Tor says:

    [Notice] Closing stream for '[scrubbed].onion': hidden service is
    unavailable (try again later).


Is the hidden service down? I've gotten this for a couple of hours in a
row now.

> * is it correctly encrypted?


N/A.

> # GnuPG


All ok.

> # Time


All ok.

> # Root access control


All ok.

> # Virtualization support


All ok.

> # I2P


All ok.

> # Windows Camouflage


All ok.

> # Git


All ok.

> # Unsafe Web Browser


All ok.


The remaining tests are:
