[tor-project] Tails report for May 2022

[intrigeri at boum.org]

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!
