You can help Tails! The first beta for the upcoming version 3.0 is out. We are
very excited and cannot wait to hear what you think about it :)

# What's new in 3.0~beta1?

Tails 3.0 will be the first version of Tails based on Debian 9 (Stretch). As
such, it upgrades essentially all included software.

Other changes include:

* A 64-bit processor [is now required](https://tails.boum.org/news/Tails_3.0_will_require_a_64-bit_processor/index.en.html).

* We redesigned Tails Greeter entirely.

alpha.png)

* GNOME Shell is now configured to use its default black theme.

* We fixed a lot of problems since Tails 3.0~alpha1.

Technical details of all the changes are listed in the [Changelog](https
://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/plain/debian/changelog?h=feature/stretch).

# How to test Tails 3.0~beta1?

**We will provide security updates for Tails 3.0~beta1**, just like we do for stable versions of Tails.

But **keep in mind that this is a test image**. We tested that it is not
broken in obvious ways, but it might still contain undiscovered issues.

But test wildly!

If you find anything that is not working as it should, please report to us on
[tails-testers@???](mailto:tails-testers@boum.org).

Bonus points if you first check if it is a [known issue of this
release](https://tails.boum.org/news/index.en.html#known_issues) or a
[longstanding known
issue](https://tails.boum.org/support/known_issues/index.en.html).

## Download and install

instructions](https://tails.boum.org/install/index.en.html), skipping the
**Download and verify** step.

# Known issues in 3.0~beta1

* The documentation was not adjusted yet.

* The Formats settings chosen in Tails Greeter have no effect ([#12079](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/12079)).

* There is no Read-Only feature for the persistent volume anymore; it is not clear yet whether it will be re-introduced in time for Tails 3.0 final ([#12093](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/12093)).

* Some commonly used ways to start graphical applications as the `root` user are not supported anymore. Some workarounds are documented on [#12000](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/12000).

* If you use the _KeePassX_ persistence feature, you need to manually import your passwords database ([#10956](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/10956)).

* Some command-line programs (at least _Monkeysign_, _Git_, and _wget_) display confusing error messages in the _Terminal_, although they work fine: [#11736](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11736), [#12091](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/12091), [#12205](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/12205).

* _I2P_ fails to start ([#12108](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/12108)). Note that the _I2P_ feature has not been maintained in Tails since more than a year, so _I2P_ [may be removed](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11276#note-29) in Tails 2.12 if this problem is not solved soon.

* [Open tickets for Tails 3.0](https://labs.riseup.net/code/projects/tails/issues?per_page=100&query_id=198)

* [Longstanding known issues](https://tails.boum.org/support/known_issues/index.en.html)
