In case anyone missed it:

The Whonix Project has announced the release of Whonix 16. For a list of changes and further details, please see the official announcement. Please note that, according to the Whonix support schedule, Whonix 15 will reach end-of-life (EOL) in one month. This coincides with the end date for Whonix 15 template support in Qubes according to the Whonix Project’s support policy for Whonix templates in Qubes. Therefore, all Whonix users are urged to upgrade from Whonix 15 to Whonix 16 within the next…

However, Qubes 4.1 is still in testing, so Whonix 16 may not work on Qubes 4.1 yet.

Whonix 16 update on R4.04 was unexpectedly smooth. The salt script really did a great job.

Has this issue been fixed: Testing whonix-ws-16 and whonix-gw-16? If not, it needs to be fixed in a hurry or I will lose all ability to update (see Can't update)

so, @pr0xy , this is not completely smooth.

It was fixed a while ago. You can also clone sys-whonix as sys-whonix-15 (based on whonix-gw-15) and keep it around as a backup.

Not sure what to tell you @Narvey …the update from Whonix 15 went pretty smoothly for me on R4.04 using the salt script. I followed the instructions on the Whonix site. I’ve been updating dom0 with Whonix 16 for about a month now.
