Tails report for September and October 2022
<https://tails.boum.org/news/report_2022_10/>


Highlights

Here's a glimpse at what happened in Tails in September and October.


    Analyzing results of usability tests


We analyzed the results of the usability tests we did in São Paulo:

  * first-time use
    <https-everywhere://lists.autistici.org/message/20221012.181235.a673efeb.en.html>
  * Tor Connection
    <https://lists.autistici.org/message/20221012.140611.7e58f067.en.html>


Then we prioritized the issues identified there and planned to fix a
bunch of them in the next few months.


    New features


Our developers brought 3 major new features to beta quality:

*

    New Persistent Storage, completely redesigned and vastly more usable


*

    Wayland and better Unsafe Browser, for better security in depth and
    usability


*

    QR code scanning for Tor bridges


We will only release these features officially in Tails 5.8 (December
2022), but you cantry them already in Tails 5.8~beta1

    Donation campaign


We launched our end-of-year donation campaign.

Donations from passionate people like you are our most valuable source
of funding because they guarantee our independence. We are a very small
nonprofit and our yearly budget is ridiculously small compared to the
value of Tails.

Donate now <https://tails.boum.org/donate/index.en.html>to fight
surveillance and censorship!

    /Thunderbird/102 also includes important usability improvements to
    the OpenPGP feature. When composing an email, you can now see
    whether it will be encrypted or not. If encryption is impossible, a
    key assistant helps you solve key issues.
