Now testing the first Parrot Cloud VPS service, daily, weekly and monthly plans coming soon (very soon)
Parrot full 3.0.160418 beta now available for beta testers
ABSTRACT
this version is stable enough to be used as a daily operating system or for real pentests, but it needs some minor changes and some packages are still under development, while all our current packages infrastructure is going to be fully debianized
PROPOSED RELEASE DATE
we would like to release parrot for our 3rd anniversary (2016-06-10), but because parrot 3 is almost ready, we will provide updated links for the testing version on our official website

NEW BUG in our testing branch
subscribe to our mailing list for further info
http://mail.parrotsec.org/listsub
it seems that initramfs-tools 0.125 breaks the boot of our live builds:
it raises a kernel panic in one of the final stages of the init system as it seems unable to load console.
the specific stage is /scripts/init-bottom
and the error raised is
run-init: opening console: No such file or directory
the bug seems to be connected to this thread https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=811566 that refers to an identical bug of initramfs-tools 0.121 that was fixed in 0.122
the previous working release was using initramfs-tools 0.123, while the latest 0.125 present in debian testing has introduced this bug again.
we know that the same version is used by kali (kali-rolling branch) and debian (testing and stretch branches), do someone know if this bug affects their live ISOs too?
anyway i'll try to downgrade and restore the last working version to release the new beta build
