Tails 0.23~rc1 initial testing:

---------------------------
Install from DVD to USB
---------------------------

dvd, usb boot fine

Tails greeter (more options) functions as expected

creation and configuration of persistent volume functions (8gb stick
used)

switching mac-spoofing on/off in greeter works fine [ NO network
connection issues ]

confirmation mac-spoofing actually works --> confirmed default,
confirmed disable spoofing at each boot

memory-wipe at shutdown functions *** NO REBOOT *** (rebooting was an
issue for me on 1 box with 0.22.1)

access/selection of documentation in Tails greeter functions wonderfully

windows camo functions

i2p functions         <-- thank you for the i2p <3


microphone in volume control panel app set to mute/no volume (default)

Florence virtual keyboard functions (english)

Take a snapshot app functions

MAT Metadata Anonymisation Toolkit functioned with all files
tested    <-- thank you for this tool


Setting up bridges was slightly confusing, but functioned once
enabled/configured (Confirmed a Bridge was actually being used
-netstat), the bridge relays were listed in vidalia after using the
Tails greeters network configuration option (configure Bridges)

*** TorButton in Iceweasel * open network settings * option is not
greyed out but did NOT function (also does this in Tails 0.22.1)

Unsafe Browser functions as expected

-------------------------
Automatic Upgrade
-------------------------

Automatic Upgrade from a stick with 0.22.1 to 0.23~rc1 with
instructions from *call for testing* https://tails.boum.org/news/
functioned perfectly (on reboot vidalia raised its control panel on the
desktop and had to close). Pre-configured persistent volume on the test
stick was NOT affected in a negative way, all preset data on the stick
was preserved and seems to function. All tested apps seem to function
as expected as well as application context menus.

Pidgin:    /!\ The removed chat.wikileaks.de account in Pidgin was
CARRIED OVER from the pre-existing account from version 0.22.1 to
0.23~rc1.



...continuing to test
