SecureDrop Workstation 1.9.0 is now available. This release hardens the updater against some edge cases discovered during the 1.8.0 release.

No user action is required, as these updates will automatically be installed as part of your regular preflight updates.

While there are no specific user-facing changes in this release, the daily update process should be more robust moving forward. For a full list of changes, please refer to the changelog for this release.
