Whonix 14 release blockers - status of Whonix 14 development

Related -> Qubes-Whonix 14 Salt Issue

I presume the anon-vm tag and salt issues for configuration / downloading of new Whonix 14 templates are the only blockers for Qubes-Whonix 14.

Since the salt issue has stalled, it might be helped along by this individual below (vic viq), who claims to be a salt expert and has put his hand up to help in the qubes-devel forums during the last week ->

All tasks (but these are less important, shouldn’t block release):

Not a blocker, but really really bad to ensure there won’t be leaks due to user configuration mistake.

once testing this version is done, Whonix 14 will be released.

Besides the known bugs on the Whonix and Qubes issue trackers, Whonix 14 should be ready as stable Whonix 14 release. Only waiting for new Qubes templates to be built and tested before the Whonix 14 release will be made.
