# How to test Tails 0.17.2~rc1?

1. Keep in mind that this is a test image. We have made sure that it is not broken in an obvious way, but it might still contain undiscovered issues.

2. Download the ISO image and its signature:

   Tails 0.17.2~rc1 ISO image

   Tails 0.17.2~rc1 signature

3. Verify the ISO image.

4. Have a look at the list of known issues of this release and the list of [[longstanding known issues|support/known_issues]].

5. Test wildly!

If you find anything that is not working as it should, please [[report to us|doc/first_steps/bug_reporting]]! Bonus points if you check that it is not a known issue of this release or a [[longstanding known issue|support/known_issues]].

# What's new since 0.17.1?

- Iceweasel

- Upgrade to Iceweasel 17.0.5esr-0+tails2~bpo60+1.

- Stop displaying obsolete context menu entries ("Open Tor URL" and friends).

- Hardware support

- Update Linux to 3.2.41-2

- Bugfixes

- Use more reliable OpenPGP keyservers: use the hkps pool in GnuPG (and import their SSL CA); use hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net in Seahorse (as it does not support hkps yet)

- Keep udisks users (GNOME Disk Utility, tails-persistence-setup, etc.) from resetting the system partition's attributes when manipulating the partition table. To this end, backport the relevant bugfix from Wheezy into parted 2.3-5+tails1. This allowed to remove the sgdisk-based workaround in tais-persistence-setup, and to stop installing python-parted. All this is a first needed step to fix [[!tails_todo make_system_disk_read-only]] in a future release.

- Minor improvements

- Disable NoScript's HTML5 media click-to-play for better user experience.

- Localization

- Tails USB installer: update translations for French, German, Spanish, Finnish, Greek, Italian, Latvian, Dutch, Polish and Chinese.
- Tails Greeter: update translations for Farsi, Chinese, French; new translations: Finnish, Norwegian Bokmål, Galician.
- tails-persistence-setup: update Farsi and Chinese translations; import new translations for Finnish and Swedish.

- WhisperBack: update translations for Arabic, French, German, Greek, Spanish, Korean, Polish, Russian. New translations: Finnish, Chinese.

- Build process

- Add automated testing framework (Sikuli, Cucumber, libvirt -based) with a bunch of tests.
