+Update from the coagulated brains in LEAP
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Mid july we released packages as a maintanance release  with support for Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic). For install instructions check out https://dl.bitmask.net/linux/
+The bundles however have not been updated, our plan is to deprecate them and migrate to [Snap-packages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snappy_\(package_manager\) ), which will take some time. As usual bug reports and feedback is very welcome.
+
+If you want to follow developments or experiment with those Snap packages, you can find an experimental one tailored for Riseup at [snapcraft](https://snapcraft.io/riseup-vpn), they've written a nice how-to as well: <https://riseup.net/betatest>
+
+We're expanding now as well and are building a Windows installer, it's working pretty smooth, but still lacks a good firewall, we're looking forward to the near future to announce this more broadly.
