We’re pleased to announce that SecureDrop Client 0.14.0, part of the SecureDrop Workstation, has been released.

This release adds support for journalists to select and delete multiple sources simultaneously, a long-requested feature for high-traffic instances. Starting with The Guardian’s implementation from last year, we updated the user experience to allow for the addition of future bulk actions that are safe and convenient to use. We hope this improves the experience for instances that receive excess spam and other junk submissions.

Other changes in this release are listed below and can also be found on GitHub:

• Add support for selecting and deleting multiple sources (#2208, #2188, #2230, #2252, #2293, #2299, #2300)
• Improve logging of API failures (#2245)
• Improve handling of client keyboard shortcuts (#2209)
• Fix client crash when a source with an in-progress download is deleted (#2217)
• Improve exception handling for download failures (#2275, #2276)
• Add French language support (#2283)
• Updated multiple dependencies (#2253, #2267, #2214, #2210, #2211)
• Internal and development:
  • Use builtin venv module instead of virtualenv (#2246)
  • Switch securedrop-client package Architecture to "any" (#2178)
  • Have run.sh automatically emit full debug logs (#2198)
  • Have make build-debs print tag signature, if any (#2205)
  • Upgrade Rust toolchain to 1.81.0 (#2215)
  • Fixes to SD test cassettes (#2225)
  • Re-enable ruff for files in proxy/ (#2234)
  • Don't have CI cancel GitHub merge queue jobs (#2235)
  • Updated multiple dependencies (#2280, #2181, #2183)

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