• Purism at LibrePlanet 2019 – Showcasing the Librem 5 Phone

  This year’s edition of LibrePlanet went on so well, we had people stopping by to ask questions before the conference was open for the day.

  Purism’s booth was busy, and people were happy to see us. Nearly everyone we talked to had been following our progress, and everyone was excited to see things in-person. We showcased the fourth version of Librem laptops, and made regular demonstrations of both PureBoot on a Librem 13v4 and Librem Key. Above all, we drew a lot of excitement around the in-person viewing of the Librem 5 devkit. So much excitement, we really wanted to write about the commotion caused by the Librem 5 development – and specially about the devkit demonstration – not only among the audience but also within our own team members.

  The Librem 5 phone may still be months away from delivery, but the Librem 5 devkit is under very rapid development. Showcasing our progress is something we’re very proud of, so at the first day of LibrePlanet we whet the appetite of audience members by showcasing sub ten-second boot times from powered-off state to unlock-screen… and we also showed off the initial application support of calling, settings, chat/sms, and browser.

• SUSECON – Cloud Talkin’

  With over 1,000 attendees from 45 different countries, SUSECON was a truly global affair with a uniquely country twist.

Hello,

A new snapshot, `0.0.20190406`, has been tagged in the git repository.

Please note that this snapshot is, like the rest of the project at this point
in time, experimental, and does not constitute a real release that would be
considered secure and bug-free. WireGuard is generally thought to be fairly
stable, and most likely will not crash your computer (though it may).
However, as this is a pre-release snapshot, it comes with no guarantees, and
its security is not yet to be depended on; it is not applicable for CVEs.

With all that said, if you'd like to test this snapshot out, there are a
few relevant changes.

== Changes ==

  * allowedips: initialize list head when removing intermediate nodes
  
  Fix for an important regression in removing allowed IPs from the last
  snapshot. We have new test cases to catch these in the future as well.
  
  * wg-quick: freebsd: rebreak interface loopback, while fixing localhost
  * wg-quick: freebsd: export TMPDIR when restoring and don't make empty
  
  Two fixes for FreeBSD which have already been backported into ports.
  
  * tools: genkey: account for short reads of /dev/urandom
  * tools: add support for Haiku
  
  The tools now support Haiku! Maybe somebody is working on a WireGuard
  implementation for it?
  
  * tools: warn if an AllowedIP has a nonzero host part
  
  If you try to run `wg set wg0 peer ... allowed-ips 192.168.1.82/24`, wg(8)
  will now print a warning. Even though we mask this automatically down to
  192.168.1.0/24, usually when people specify it like this, it's a mistake.
  
  * wg-quick: add 'strip' subcommand
  
  The new strip subcommand prints the config file to stdout after stripping
  it of all wg-quick-specific options. This enables tricks such as:
  `wg addconf $DEV <(wg-quick strip $DEV)`.
  
  * tools: avoid unneccessary next_peer assignments in sort_peers()
  
  Small C optimization the compiler was probably already doing.
  
  * peerlookup: rename from hashtables
  * allowedips: do not use __always_inline
  * device: use skb accessor functions where possible
  
  Suggested tweaks from Dave Miller.
  
  * qemu: set framewarn 1280 for 64bit and 1024 for 32bit
  
  These should indicate to us more clearly when we cross the most strict stack
  thresholds expected when using recent compilers with the kernel.
  
  * blake2s: simplify
  * blake2s: remove outlen parameter from final
  
  The blake2s implementation has been simplified, since we don't use any of the
  fancy tree hashing parameters or the like. We also no longer separate the
  output length at initialization time from the output length at finalization
  time.
  
  * global: the _bh variety of rcu helpers have been unified
  * compat: nf_nat_core.h was removed upstream
  * compat: backport skb_mark_not_on_list
  
  The usual assortment of compat fixes for Linux 5.1.

Also: New WireGuard Snapshot Offers FreeBSD Fixes, Other Tweaks

Tomohiro Kusumi has contributed an initial FUSE implementation to DragonFlyBSD for implementing file-systems in user-space support.

The design is based roughly on FreeBSD code but is a cleanly written implementation for allowing user-space file-systems to work on this BSD. This initial FUSE support isn't designed to be API/ABI compatible with the FreeBSD code due to different sysctls and other factors.
