Hi Michael!

Thanks for confirming. This matches what I measured when I developed
the fix for this bug: both "boot loader → Greeter" and "Greeter →
Desktop" are faster on 4.0~beta2 than on Tails 3.x.

Ouch, that sounds bad. I've filed this as #17026.

Please keep the video around and we'll ask you if we need it :)

Indeed, the email I've received reads:
Technical details of all the changes are listed in the
[Changelog](
https://git-
tails.immerda.ch/tails/plain/debian/changelog?h=devel).
Same problem here:
Please, report any new problem to [tails-testers@???](mailto:tails-
testers@???) (public mailing list).
The corresponding Markdown source reads:
Technical details of all the changes are listed in the
[Changelog](
https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/plain/debian/changelog?h=devel).
I've verified that the RSS feed generated by ikiwiki is correct (no
line breaks there).
So I think rss2email is trying to do clever line-wrapping and
mistakenly decides that a hyphen is a sweet place to insert a line
break. I've checked our rss2email config and we're already disabling
line wrapping (body-width: 0) so I'm afraid there's not much we can
do here.
I've replaced the link to the changelog with one that uses Salsa,
which has no hyphen so this should fix the changelog link problem.
And it makes things consistent with our stable release notes :)
I don't know how to fix the problem for
mailto:tails-testers@boum.org
so I think this should be addressed by the more general work that's
planned on these announcement messages.

Great news :)
The only explanation I can think of is that the updated graphics
drivers in 4.0~beta2 support your hardware better.
