We have a lot to show since the 0.7.0 release! This release, care has been taken to ensure real hardware is working, i686 support has been added, features like audio and preliminary multi-display support have been enabled, and the boot and install infrastructure has been simplified and made more robust. I highly recommend skimming through the changes listed below before jumping into the images, if you want more details. It is also recommended to read through the Redox OS book if you want more information on how to build and use Redox OS.
We added Metadata Cleaner, a new tool to clean metadata from your files. When we switched to MAT 0.8.0 in Tails 4.0, MAT lost its graphical interface and was only accessible from the contextual menu of the Files browser. It became especially hard for new users of Tails to learn how to clean their files. Metadata Cleaner fixes this by providing a simple and easily discoverable graphic interface to remove metadata. Metadata Cleaner works on the same file formats and is as secure as MAT because Metadata Cleaner also uses MAT in the background to do the actual cleaning. Update Tor Browser to 11.5.8. Update tor to 0.4.7.11. Remove pdf-redact-tools, which was broken. (#19250)

We just published the first ISO image of our new BlueOnyx 5211R (AlmaLinux 9.1) to the download mirrors. The ISO image provides the usual installation options that you might already know from previous BlueOnyx ISO installs. Just boot off the ISO image and in the boot menu choose your form of installation and the rest of the procedure is entirely free of user input. After the reboot at the end of the installation, login to your new BlueOnyx 5211R server with the login details shown on the screen. That will automatically launch network_settings.sh to perform the initial network configuration. It may be that after configuring the network details for the very first time after installation, the server still has no network connection due to the gateway settings not having been applied correctly by NetworkManager. If that's the case, simply reboot.
