+0.9.2 April XY - "Panis et Circenses"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+We are pleased to announce the Bitmask 0.9.2 release.  You can refer to `the
+changelog`_ for the whole changeset.
+
+In addition to the Encrypted Internet Proxy, the Encrypted Email service is now
+available, in Beta state in the Linux bundles. An alpha version for OSX is also
+ready. This service can be tested against any LEAP provider that has made it
+publicly available.
+
+The "Beta" in the Email service means that things are getting more stable, but
+unforeseen issues are still expected to be found, so please use it accordingly.
+We need you to test it as hard as you can, and report any bugs that you find,
+but don't trust it yet in situations where data loss, delivery problems or any
+other errors can put you at risk or otherwise cause major trouble.
+
+Currently we maintain a demo provider for the Mail service at
+https://mail.bitmask.net. This provider is already pinned in Bitmask for easy
+access when creating a new account from within the wizard.
+
+In the standalone bundles beginning with 0.9.2, we are shipping the Pixelated
+Webmail interface. Access via Thunderbird or any other mail client of your
+choice is still supported, but we hope that this modern web interface will make
+the delights of our users.
+
+The bundles for 0.9.2 include statically compiled binaries for OpenVPN 2.3.10
+(compiled against PolarSSL 1.3.9) and GnuPG 1.4.20.
+
+Please help us test Bitmask and file any bug reports here:
+https://leap.se/code/projects/report-issues, that will be a great contribution
+towards future improvement!
+
+Until the next release, see you on the intertubes, and stay safe.
+
+The Bitmask team.
