Hi,
May was short because I took 1 week off to hike volcanoes in Guatemala.

whistleblowing platform in Africa, about them adopting Tails to
manipulate hazardous documents received from their sources.
Project 165

- Fixed the issues raised by intrigeri, jawlensky, and donuts on the
upcoming improvements to the Tails website. It was really great to
have complementary reviews by the 3 of them! (!2046)

Hi everyone,
Here is my status report for May 2025.
It is a short one because, for half of the month, I was at an in-person
meeting with the rest of the team. We will publish our notes in our wiki
in the future [wiki].
Apart from that, I worked on rapid-release rebases [tor-browser#43512]
for the ESR-140 transition. I rebased or reviewed several versions,
which took most of my remaining time.
I also prepared a first update for our toolchains in tor-browser-build
[tor-browser-build!1212]. We should already be able to build
reproducibly for all our desktop platforms (including Mullvad Browser
for Windows, which has additional complications because of WebRTC).
Android will arrive later, as Bea is working on the application-services
update first.
Best,
Pier
