[Tails-testers] [Tails-news] Call for testing 4.22~rc1

Contribute to Tails by testing our release candidate for Tails 4.22 by the end
of August!

# What's new in 4.22~rc1?

Tails 4.22, scheduled for release on September 7, will allow users to manually
set their correct time zone and clock. This helps users to work around a long-
standing issue of Tails not being able to connect to Tor when obfs4 bridges
are being used and the computer has a hardware clock that is set to a time
zone that is east of UTC. See
[#15548](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/15548).


Also, Tails 4.22 will allow users to save bridges to Persistent Storage so
that the bridges do not need to be reentered every time Tails is restarted.

# What's new since 4.21?

* Update _Thunderbird_ to [78.13](https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/78.13.0/releasenotes/)

* Tor Connection assistant will stop trying to connect to Tor when the error screen is displayed.

* Offline documentation includes the Russian language translation.

For more details, read our
[changelog](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/raw/4.22-rc1/debian/changelog).

# Get Tails 4.22~rc1

## To upgrade your Tails USB stick and keep your persistent storage

If you are running Tails 4.19 or later, you can upgrade like this:

1. Start Tails and [set an administration password](https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/welcome_screen/administration_password/index.en.html).

2. Connect to the network and make sure Tor is connected successfully.

3. Run this command in a _Terminal_:

        echo TAILS_CHANNEL=\"alpha\" | sudo tee -a /etc/os-release && \
         tails-upgrade-frontend-wrapper

Enter the administration password when asked for the "password for amnesia".

4. After the upgrade is applied, restart Tails and choose **Applications ▸ Tails ▸ About Tails** to verify that you are running Tails 4.22~rc1.

## Download Tails 4.22~rc1

Download and install Tails 4.22~rc1 as usually.

All the data on this USB stick will be lost. Don't install Tails 4.22~rc1 on
any USB stick that already has a Persistent Storage, upgrade instead.

# What to test in Tails 4.22~rc1?

We particularly would like to know if Tails successfully connects to Tor using
bridges when the correct time zone and clock are set from within Tor
Connection assistant.

Also, we want to make sure that bridges are properly saved to and restored
from Persistent Storage when the Tor Bridges feature is enabled.

Tell us if anything is unclear, confusing, or not working as you would expect.

Please, send your feedback to [tails-testers@???](mailto:tails-
testers@???) (public mailing list).

# Known issues in 4.22~rc1

None specific to this release.

Happy testing!
