Here is a branch!

You should fix 2 pieces of information in there:

  • The version of Tor Browser.
  • The list of available automatic upgrades.

I’ll be offline this afternoon but I think that you can finish this without me.

The tweet:

Tails 3.16 is out: https://tails.boum.org/news/version_3.16/, with a Linux update to mitigate the Spectre variant SWAPGS and some firmware packages updates for better hardware support.

Thanks, sajolida. I'm wondering whether I might have missed a step or two here: following the release process documentation, I have created a local branch named web/release-3.16@, which I pushed (but don’t remember force-pushing); so I’m wondering whether you pushed yours at all?

I’ve also looked for a branch (using the ticket name, grepping for “release”) where sajolida might have pushed this, and failed.

Sorry!!! I did forgot to push it yesterday. Now they are in web/release-3.16:

https://git.tails.boum.org/tails/commit/?h=web/release-3.16&id=d4be19e0fd7e4c7c4f72cbaf899a865db2c2e876

No worries, and thanks for the push. I see you have the correct Tor Browser version and IUK-available versions, so except for the needed release date bump, that should be good. Will proofread in a moment or two.
