Hi everyone,

this is the fourth status report on the Tails Server GSoC project.

First off: There are nightly images of Tails with integrated Tails Server available for download [1]. Some notes if you want to test it: - Installation of the first service will take several minutes, because the APT package lists have to be downloaded - If you boot the image in a VM, the loading spinners won't spin. I couldn't yet figure out why. - The Gobby Service's status does not turn to "stopped", it remains in "deactivating"

Here is what I did in the last two weeks:

* Work on the GUI

* Implement three different approaches to edit the options. Discuss each of them on the tails-ux mailing list. Start conducting short user tests to get some data on which approach provides the best UX.

* Implement a status line (this replaces the loading window I implemented previously)

* Group the options

* Rework the displayed connection info

* A lot of smaller improvements

* Use stem to create ephemeral hidden services instead of editing torrc

* Implement reset of the onion address

* Make Gobby Server work

* Integrate Tails Server into Tails

* Fix a lot of issues

Next up is (still) writing a short documentation for the upcoming user tests. Then I will begin to conduct the user tests. Also, the autostart and client authentication features are still not implemented. And I plan to include some doxygen-like specification in the code.

Cheers.
