Hi, I'll be the release manager for Tails 1.3.1, which currently is scheduled to be released on 2015-04-07 [1]. However, Firefox 37, which was supposed to ship that date, has been moved up one week, to 2015-03-31 [2] to not coincide with Easter. I presume that the same goes for the 31.6.0esr release and hence the next Tor Browser release (which I've asked about on tbb-dev@ [3]). I'll continue with that assumption, and that we too will change our release date for Tails 1.3.1 to 2015-03-31, because otherwise it'll be open season on Tails users for browser exploits for a week.
Thoughts? I'll update the calendar [1] if I get an ACK for this new release date.

Dammit! We better start cranking code/docs/translations/etc ASAP! :) Here's the preliminary release schedule: * 2015-03-28: - All branches targeting Tails 1.3.1 must be merged into the 'stable' branch by noon CET. - Tor Browser 4.x, based on Firefox 31.6.0esr is *hopefully* out, so we can import it. - Build and upload Tails 1.3.1 ISO image and IUKs. - Start testing Tails 1.3.1 during late CET if building the image went smoothly. * 2015-03-31: - Finish testing Tails 1.3.1 by the afternoon, CET. - Release Tails 1.3.1 during late CET. So, testers, please let me know if you are available on: * 2015-03-28, late CET (only needed if image building went smoothly). * 2015-03-31, morning to afternoon, CET.
