You can help Tails! The first (and hopefully only) release candidate for the upcoming version 0.17.2 is out. Please test it and see if all works for you.
[[!toc levels=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.

Verify the ISO image.
Have a look at the list of known issues of this release and the list of [[longstanding known issues|support/known_issues]].
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]].
Upgrade to Iceweasel 17.0.5esr-0+tails2~bpo60+1.
Stop displaying obsolete context menu entries ("Open Tor URL" and friends).
Update Linux to 3.2.41-2
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
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.
No regression is known yet.
