Upgrade

Alternatively, in-place release upgrade is possible upgrade using by performing a release upgrade.

Availability and Qubes-Whonix Support: Qubes R4.2 versus Qubes R4.3?

  • Qubes R4.2: Qubes-Whonix 18 unavailable. Qubes-Whonix 18 won’t be available for Qubes R4.2.
    • Release status: Even though Qubes R4.3 is only available as a release candidate (RC) at the time of writing,
    • Expected release: A stable release of Qubes R4.3 (and Qubes-Whonix 18) is probably not far away.
    • Upgrade recommendation: Qubes-Whonix 17 users on Qubes R4.2 are encouraged to consider upgrading to Qubes-Whonix 18 on Qubes R4.3 as soon as possible.
    • Maintenance situation: Qubes-Whonix 18 is what developers are using and where the development focus is. It comes with much newer packages. Qubes-Whonix is a small project and does not have a dedicated team for oldstable support. Therefore, oldstable support is maintained as a side project. More details: decide availability of Kicksecure and Whonix 18 (Debian trixie based) on Qubes R4.2 versus R4.3 #10219
  • Qubes R4.3: Qubes-Whonix 18 is available.

This release would not have been possible without the numerous supporters of Whonix!

Testers wanted!

This will be shipped with the next week’s QubesOS 4.3rc-4 release,
right?

On Firefox the mouse scroll wheel lags so much it becomes unusable. It works on other apps like FeatherPad.

But the lag extends to everything, like dragging a window. No more graphic board hardware support?

Overall the change from Xfce to LXQt is a big downgrade.

Why would you use Firefox inside Whonix?

Are you talking about Non-Qubes-Whonix or Qubes-Whonix?

Sounds like lag caused by improved protections for Keystroke and Mouse Deanonymization.

(This forum post was previously a call for testers. No release critical bugs where found during the testing period. This forum post was therefore transformed into a stable release announcement. See edit history.)
