1.7.0 QA Checklist

For both upgrades and fresh installs, here is a list of functionality that requires testing. You can use this for copy/pasting into your QA report. Note that in order to test #5483, you should select multiple languages when running ./securedrop-admin sdconfig.

If you have submitted a QA report already for a 1.7.0 release candidate with successful basic server testing and application acceptance testing sections, then you can skip these sections in subsequent reports, unless otherwise indicated by the Release Manager. This is to ensure that you focus your QA effort on the 1.7.0-specific changes as well as changes since the previous release candidate.
