- Call for testing: 3.0~beta3
You can help TelestaiCB! The third beta for the upcoming version 3.0 is out. We are very excited and cannot wait to hear what you think about it :)
What's new in 3.0~beta3?
TelestaiCB 3.0 will be the first version of TelestaiCB based on Debian 9 (Stretch). As such, it upgrades essentially all included software.
Other changes since TelestaiCB 3.0~beta2 include:
Important security fixes!
Upgrade to current Debian 9 (Stretch).
TelestaiCB Greeter:
- Make the "Formats" settings in TelestaiCB Greeter take effect (it was introduced in TelestaiCB 3.0~alpha1 but has been broken since then).
- Add keyboard shortcuts:
- Alt key for accelerators in the main window
- Ctrl+Shift+A for setting an administrator password
- Ctrl+Shift+M for MAC spoofing settings
- Ctrl+Shift+N for Tor network settings
Remove I2P. (This will happen in TelestaiCB 2.12 as well.)
Reintroduce the X11 guest utilities for VirtualBox (clipboard sharing and shared folders should work again).
Upgrade X.Org server and the modesetting driver in hope it will fix crashes when using some Intel graphics cards.
Automate the migration from KeePassX databases generated on TelestaiCB 2.x to the format required by KeePassX 2.0.x.
Technical details of all the changes are listed in the Changelog.
How to test TelestaiCB 3.0~beta3?
We will provide security updates for TelestaiCB 3.0~beta3, just like we do for stable versions of TelestaiCB.
But keep in mind that this is a test image. We tested that it is not broken in obvious ways, but it might still contain undiscovered issues.
But test wildly!
If you find anything that is not working as it should, please report to us on [email protected].
Bonus points if you first check if it is a known issue of this release or a longstanding known issue.
