Hello!

As requested, I’ve been running the jessie-proposed-updates during the last three days.

Operative System:

Qubes 3.2 RC2

Running Whonix VMs:

1. sys-Whonix: a crucial element in my Qubes infrastructure, since I use it for upgrading all the templates.
2. anon-Whonix: browsing (Tor Browser 6.5a2-hardened)
3. irc: chatting with friends.

Corridor:

Yes

Kind of tests performed:

Daily use + Whonix Check on any single VM.

Results:

No issues or anomalies detected. My laptop is running just fine.

That’s it! I hope this kind of report is OK.

However, if Whonix team need to know something of more specific, I will be glad to help.

Thank you!

These packages have now been migrated into Whonix jessie (stable) repository.

I’ve been using it lightly for a month with 3.2RC2. Only app I’ve used is Torbrowser and that’s working good. Trying it out with the VPN VM now.
There are far less UI warnings… its a little disquieting.
