Awesome stack of news!


Question:

Since labeled a "release candidate", is 3.0-rc1 a current replacement
version that we (Whonix project, etc) should be recommending for the
general populace of users to install as stable instead of R2 now?

IIRC, the R2 release candidates were treated as stable recommended over
R1 final for a while, but just wanted to make sure with the newly
refreshed R3 development cycle.


P.S. Best of luck with your new project, Joanna!

Wow!!

And above that a new project. You awakened my curiosity. Considering the size of Joanna projects should be something huge. Some time ago you wrote you were playing with robots. One day Joanna will tell us how to try to prevent robots from taking over humanity, with a proper containment architecture.

It is already happening in the financial field. Extremely resourceful automated trading networks are so complex that the interactions and global unforeseen consequences are beyond human understanding, from a practical point of view.

Good luck

Fran

Good question. I would also like to know.

Basically: Should we migrate to 3.0-rc1 on a system we use for
"important stuff" (e.g., a system on which we are *not* using the
current-testing repo)?

I would wait few more days, but it should be stable enough for daily
usage. I've already migrated :)

Regarding Whonix - we (together with Jason) are still working on
polishing templates for R3.

The main blocker here (upgrade Xen version) is resolved, but installer
still doesn't support creating appropriate configuration.

This is great news. Thank you for all the hard work you and your team put into this project.

I do have a question related to Windows HVM and integration. I am currently using Win8.1 and I would love to see increased compatibility for this system and other versions of windows to come.

Also, can you provide any info on the other project you are working on?

Thank you again and I look forward to seeing the releases roll out. With the releases after 3.0, will you need to perform a fresh install each time?

Regards,

Iestyn Best

[Outback Dingo]

So we should be seeing Qubes with XEN 4.5 sometime in the near future ??

You might mention that Windows tools are not yet available for 3.0-rc1 -
for some that would be a deciding factor.
