Tails report for May 2022

Hi, Here are a few highlights about what we did in May, among many other things: * We implemented many improvements to the Tor Connection assistant. This makes is much easier for people in Asia to circumvent censorship. For details, see the Tails 5.1 release notes [1]. * We wrote a new homepage for the _Unsafe Browser_ when you are not connected to the Tor network yet. This new version makes it easier to understand how to sign in to the network using a captive portal. * We started organized training and usability tests sessions for August in Brazil. * Tails 5.0 was released on May 3 [2]. It was the first version of Tails based on Debian 11 (Bullseye) and brought new versions of a lot of the software included in Tails and new OpenPGP tools. * We started evaluating Mirrorbits to manage our download mirror pool. On top of decreasing the required maintenance work, this should make downloads of Tails faster and more reliable. * Tails has been started more than 769 997 times this month. This makes 24 838 boots a day on average. Cheers! Links: ------ [1] https://tails.boum.org/news/version_5.1/index.en.html [2] https://tails.boum.org/news/version_5.0/index.en.html
