I don’t think the term official release is well defined yet at Whonix. The word release can mean many things.
Package sandbox-app-launcher is available from official Whonix repository. That’s a development milestone as well as useful for further development/testing.
- Bug Reports, Software Development and Feature Requests
- Package Upgrade Policy
- sandbox-app-launcher - Sandboxed Application Launcher
The launcher is currently a work-in-progress and is not yet ready for actual use.
Once it’s ready that notice will be removed from its wiki page and there will be a call for testers Whonix news blog post.
