Attached! I suggest [[!toc levels=3]] since it might make the “decision tree” easier to spot. :)

Thanks anonym.

I’ve prepared a blog post here: 451f:tails/feature/13483_blogpost.

Although I think in the beginning we were talking about an email only.
So what I will to is to send this email once 3.1 is out.

Beware: The text still needs a fix containing the SHA sum of Tails 3.1.

Then we can still decide if we want to publish this in our news too, some time later, or if we consider this to be too general public.

Ah, that’s right! Then we might want to convert at least the markdown links to footnotes for increased readability.

The RM (bertagaz, added as a watcher) is the authoritative source of this information.

Another consideration is that we likely will get a better signal-to-noise ratio if we only aim this at the Tails developer (tails-dev@boum.org) and reproducible builds (rb-general@lists.reproducible-builds.org) communities. And maybe the Tor (tor-{dev,talk}@lists.torproject.org) community?

Great idea anonym. Thanks bertagaz. I’ve prepared the email and I’m sort of waiting for 3.1 to be released.

It will take a bit more time than expected: in the end, I’m rebuilding the ISO to get the Linux upgrade. I’ll send u the SHAAAAA.
