Code

We started the redesign network connection configuration:
- Usability testing of paper prototypes for the network connection configuration.
- Display Tor Launcher to all users by default (#17330).
- Write a replacement of Tor Launcher (#17215).
We are rewriting the Persistent Storage settings in Python (#17803).
We improved Help Desk standard replies (#18070).

Started a sprint to rewrite our warnings page (#8845). We'll strip it down to 3 main warnings:
- Untrusted computers
- Limitations of Tor
- Identity management
And embed them directly on the download page. (#9386).
Documented that Tails does not work with Apple M1 chip (#18066).
Documented how to start Tails from an external hard disk (#18113).
Explained what "Your browser is being managed by your organization" means (#18029).
Avoid pointing people to empty security advisories from our release notes (#18221).
Documented better what to do when the Persistent Storage disappears (#17116).

Users reported problems with automatic upgrades, caused by a change on the CA.
Still some users write to us about problems importing GPG keys with Seahorse.
We also got the usual 'javascript is enabled' emails. We kindly ask for platforms or websites that include Tails on their workflow to update their documentation.

We have finished analyzing last year's donation campaign results, thanks to everybody that contributed to the development of Tails.

If you missed the end of the year donation campaign, do not worry, you can still donate to sustain our work!

We discussed about the future of monthly reports (as in this very report you are reading now).
