This release includes support for new platforms, stability improvements, and some fixes. The highlights are:

  • Beta Qubes OS Support
    The majority of this release has been improvements to the integration of Dangerzone in Qubes OS, moving from alpha support to beta. We added instructions on how to install it, caught the majority of the potential errors, and added timeouts and progress information. Testers should be aware that some issues still remain, which will be fixed on the road to stable support. The main issues are:
    • Converting large documents (e.g., >160 US letter pages) can fail with an out of space error, and/or require up to 2GiB of RAM (#577)
    • Failed conversions may require manual cleanup of the disposable qubes by the user (#577)
  • Fixed package upgrades in Fedora
    Fedora users can now safely install new Dangerzone versions (#514)
  • Fixed a bug that could potentially lead to excluding the last page of the sanitized document
    This bug was introduced in version 0.4.1. We are not aware of any user who is affected, but we do know that it does not have any security implications.
  • Reduced download size
    We removed ~300MiB from our container image (and thus the application download) by using the fast variant of the Tesseract OCR (optical character recognition) language models (#545)
  • 1 contribution from a new contributor, @garrettr
    Fixed dark mode on macOS where some texts in the user interface were black instead of white

Edited on December 5, 2023: When creating the release, we erroneously uploaded a corrupted container image. We have since retrieved the correct one from the Fedora RPM, and replaced the offending one:

Correct 25a1b05e8f4b2a1cb6ba9355a28ecd2cf0f44d85bd75cdbee79cdf33ff800cc2

This change affects only our CI jobs, and not the Windows / macOS / Linux artifacts you download from here or our APT / YUM repos (https://packages.freedom.press).
