= New Security Features Looking for Testers =

The following security features are currently available in {{project_name_short}} but are still disabled by default. After potential bugs are ironed out, these features are planned for enabling by default in a future {{project_name_short}} upgrade and release. The ordering below reflects developer views on their "production-ready" status -- from most to least ready.

= Additional Testing =

The most active testers are recommended to:

* [[Stay Tuned]]
* Check forum tag <code>testers-wanted</code>, see: https://forums.{{project_clearnet}}/tag/testers-wanted
** If a {{project_name_short}} release is still tagged <code>testers-wanted</code>, first check if there is already a corresponding {{project_name_short}} stable release of that version. To find out, check [[Stay Tuned]]. If there is already a release of that version, then no extra testing is required anymore. That would mean that removal of the <code>testers-wanted</code> forum tag has been forgotten.
