Release Announcement

SecureDrop Client 0.16.0 released

June 5, 2025

We’re pleased to announce that SecureDrop Client 0.16.0, part of the SecureDrop Workstation, has been released.

This release updates the formats for sources’ last updated times, to provide more accuracy and aid in triage — a change originally proposed by the development team at The Guardian. It also standardizes the typeface used across the client to Source Sans Pro, for improved legibility and a consistent user experience.

This release includes changes originally proposed and implemented by the development team at The Guardian, and incorporates Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) contributions by Nathan Dyer, Kunal Mehta, Cory Francis Myers, Kevin O'Gorman, Francisco Rocha, and Rowen S.
