With the recent release of Whonix 14 [1], Whonix 13 will reach EOL
(end-of-life) on 2018-09-30. We strongly recommend that all Qubes users
who have Whonix TemplateVMs [2] or StandaloneVMs [3] upgrade them to
Whonix 14 by 2018-09-30. The Whonix Project [4] provides step-by-step
upgrade instructions for upgrading from Whonix 13 to 14 [5]. For a
complete list of TemplateVM versions supported for your specific version
of Qubes, see Supported TemplateVM Versions [6].

We also provide a fresh Whonix 14 TemplateVM package through the Qubes
repositories, which you can install in dom0 by following the Whonix
installation guide [7]. If you encounter any difficulties when
attempting to upgrade or install Whonix templates, please consult the
Whonix Support page [8].

After upgrading your TemplateVMs, please remember to set all qubes that
were using the old template to use the new one. There are instructions
to do this for Qubes 3.2 [9] and Qubes 4.0 [10].

If you're using an older version of Qubes than 3.2, we strongly
recommend that you upgrade to 3.2, as older versions are no longer
supported.
