We’re pleased to announce that SecureDrop Client 0.13.2, part of the SecureDrop Workstation, has been released. This is a bug-fix release that addresses an issue where a failed download would prevent additional downloads from completing until the client is restarted.

The technical list of changes made is below and can also be found on GitHub:

• Don't let Range header persist into other requests (#2195)
• Have BaseErrors trigger DownloadDecryptionException in download flow (#2196)

Users will receive these updates the next time they run the updater.

Note: This release targets Qubes 4.2 and is not available for Qubes 4.1-based systems, which are past end of life. Please contact Support if you need assistance migrating to Qubes 4.2.
