This release includes various new features, stability improvements, and security fixes. The highlights are:
- An opt-in update notification mechanism for Windows and MacOS users.
This allows users to get notified for new updates when they open the Dangerzone application. For more info, we have a page where we explain this mechanism in detail. - Fix for security vulnerability CVE-2023-39342
This vulnerability affects the messages that users of thedangerzone-clisee in their terminal. This is a low severity CVE that does not lead to any integrity or confidentiality loss, but all users are encouraged to upgrade. - Alpha support for native sanitization on Qubes OS
Qubes OS users that can follow our build instructions can give Dangerzone a spin and use disposable VMs to sanitize their files, instead of containers. If you are an early tester, feel free to write about your experience in our GitHub discussions page. - 4 contributions from 2 new contributors, @OctopusET and @keywordnew
We are especially excited for the support for HWP/HWPX files, which is a file format popular in South Korea, and unfortunately a common target of malware attacks (note: support for these files is not available on Qubes OS or MacOS with Apple Silicon chip yet).
