+title: Replicant 4.2 kicks out!
+---
+We’ve been working very hard over the past few months to push Replicant to a
+newer Android version: the work started when CyanogenMod released version
+10.1.3, based on the latest Android 4.2 code, back in September 2013. Bringing
+Replicant to a new Android version is a really big piece of work, especially
+given that the project only counts one active developer (however, we have
+hopes to see more people getting involved in the future)! The biggest
+motivation for the new version is to allow us to port Replicant to newer
+devices, that were not supported by Android 4.0, upon which Replicant 4.0 is
+based. Aside of that, Replicant 4.2 also brings the various improvements that
+come along with Android 4.2 and CyanogenMod 10.1.
+
+All the devices that were supported by Replicant 4.0 were successfully ported
+to version 4.2, but some devices encounter serious slowness issues that are
+yet to be resolved. On the bright side of things, support for a new device was
+added, the Galaxy Note 2 N7100, which is mostly similar to the already
+supported Galaxy S 3. That was only made possible thanks to the generous
+donations that were made to the project, which enable us to buy devices for
+the current developer to work on. We are looking forward to adding support for
+even more devices in the future as well! Our [wiki][1] was updated to reflect
+the [status of the supported devices][2] as of the Replicant 4.2 release and
+features updated installation and usage guides. The Replicant SDK was also
+updated and is available for download.
+
+The Replicant website and [wiki][1] were also cleaned up a bit during the
+preparation of this release. Our blog shall now only be used for posting
+updated on the project while our wiki holds the core informations about
+Replicant. As a reminder, please do not use the comment section of this blog
+to ask general-purpose questions, but use our [forums][3] or mailing-list
+instead!
+
+This release also puts the emphasis on security: given the recent concerns
+that raised up concerning wide-scale surveillance from governments and certain
+companies, we though it would be good to make Replicant more bullet-proof. The
+Replicant 4.2 images for devices are now built in the `userdebug` fashion,
+which ensures a better level of security, the shipped system applications are
+signed with our own private keys, for which we provide the certificates and
+the releases are signed with our very own GPG release key. It is encouraged
+that you check the authenticity of the Replicant images or binaries before
+installing anything you downloaded!
+
+As usual, you can checkout the complete [changelog][4], download the images
+from the [ReplicantImages][5] page and find [installation instructions][6] as
+well as [build guides][7] on the [Replicant wiki][8].
