Changelog


New features

Kleopatra

We added Kleopatra to replace the OpenPGP Applet and the Password and Keys utility, also known as Seahorse.

The OpenPGP Applet was not actively developped anymore and was complicated for us to keep in Tails. The Password and Keys utility was also poorly maintained and Tails users suffered from too many of its issues until now, like #17183.

Kleopatra provides equivalent features in a single tool and is more actively developed.

Changes and updates

    The Additional Software feature of the Persistent Storage is enabled by default to make it faster and more robust to configure your first additional software package.

    You can now use the Activities overview to access your windows and applications. To access the Activities overview, you can either:
        Click on the Activities button.
        Throw your mouse pointer to the top-left hot corner.
        Press the Super () key on your keyboard.

    You can see your windows and applications in the overview. You can also start typing to search your applications, files, and folders.

Included software

Most included software has been upgraded in Debian 11, for example:

    Update Tor Browser to 11.0.11.

    Update GNOME from 3.30 to 3.38, with lots of small improvements to the desktop, the core GNOME utilities, and the locking screen.

    Update MAT from 0.8 to 0.12, which adds support to clean metadata from SVG, WAV, EPUB, PPM, and Microsoft Office files.

    Update Audacity from 2.2.2 to 2.4.2.

    Update Disk Utility from 3.30 to 3.38.

    Update GIMP from 2.10.8 to 2.10.22.

    Update Inkscape from 0.92 to 1.0.

    Update LibreOffice from 6.1 to 7.0.

Hardware support

    The new support for driverless printing and scanning in Linux makes it easier to make recent printers and scanners work in Tails.

Fixed problems

    Fix unlocking VeraCrypt volumes that have very long passphrases. (#17474)

For more details, read our changelog.

Known issues

    Additional Software sometimes doesn't work when restarting for the first time right after creating a Persistent Storage. (#18839)

    To solve this, install the same additional software package again after restarting with the Persistent Storage for the first time.

    Thunderbird displays a popup to choose an application when opening links. (#18913)

    Tails Installer sometimes fails to clone. (#18844)

Tails 5.1
« Antwort #107 am: 05 Juni, 2022, 00:00 »
Changelog


Changes and updates

Tor Connection assistant

Tails 5.1 includes many improvements to the Tor Connection assistant:

    The Tor Connection assistant now automatically fixes the computer clock if you choose to connect to Tor automatically.

    This makes is much easier for people in Asia to circumvent censorship.

    Tails learns the current time by connecting to the captive portal detection service of Fedora, which is used by most Linux distributions. This connection does not go through the Tor network and is an exception to our policy of only making Internet connections through the Tor network.

The time displayed in the top navigation uses the time zone selected when fixing the clock in the Tor Connection assistant.

In the future, we will make it possible to change the displayed time zone for everybody from the desktop (#10819) and store it in the Persistent Storage (#12094).

The last screen of the Tor Connection assistant makes it clear whether you are connected using Tor bridges or not.

Unsafe Browser and captive portals

    We wrote a new homepage for the Unsafe Browser when you are not connected to the Tor network yet. This new version makes it easier to understand how to sign in to the network using a captive portal.

Tails now asks for confirmation before restarting when the Unsafe Browser was not enabled in the Welcome Screen. This prevents losing work too easily.

Kleopatra

    Associate OpenPGP files with Kleopatra in the Files browser.

    You can now double-click on .gpg files to decrypt them.

    Add Kleopatra to the Favorites applications.

Included software

    Update tor to 0.4.7.7.

    Update Tor Browser to 11.0.14.

    Update Thunderbird to 91.9.

    Update the Linux kernel to 5.10.113. This should improve the support for newer hardware: graphics, Wi-Fi, and so on.

Fixed problems

    Remove the automatic selection of the option Configure a bridge when rolling back from the option to hide that you are connecting to Tor. (#18546)

    Give the same instructions on both screens where you have to configure a bridge. (#18596)

    Help rename the default KeePassXC database to open it automatically in the future. (#18966)

    Fix sharing files using OnionShare from the Files browser. (#18990)

Disable search providers in the Activities overview: files, calculator, and terminal. (#18952)

Tails 5.3.1
« Antwort #111 am: 02 August, 2022, 22:00 »
Changelog


    Update the Linux kernel to 5.10.127-2, which fixes CVE-2022-34918, a vulnerability that allows applications in Tails to gain administration privileges.

    For example, if an attacker was able to exploit other unknown security vulnerabilities in Tor Browser, they might then use CVE-2022-34918 to take full control of your Tails and deanonymize you.

    This attack is very unlikely, but could be performed by a strong attacker, such as a government or a hacking firm. We are not aware of this attack being used in the wild.

    Update Thunderbird to 91.12.0.

Tails 5.8 Beta 1

Changelog


    New Persistent Storage:

    Since January 2021, we have been working on a complete redesign of the Persistent Storage.
    The Persistent Storage hasn't changed much since its first release in 2012 because the code was hard to modify and improve. But, we learned from users that the Persistent Storage could do a lot more for you if it had more features and was easier to use.
    We've worked hard since 2021 to implement a new design and completely rewrite the code in Python.
    The new Persistent Storage doesn't require restarting after creating it or each time you activate a new feature.
    It will also make it easier for us to persist more settings in the future.
    And finally, it's looks so much better!

    Wayland and better Unsafe Browser:

    Tails 5.8~beta1 replaces the deprecated X.Org display system with Wayland.
    Wayland brings more security in depth to Tails by making it harder for a compromised application in Tails to compromise or misuse another application.
    For example, since Tails 4.8, the Unsafe Browser is disabled by default because a security vulnerability in another application in Tails could start an invisible Unsafe Browser, reveal your IP address, and deanonymize you.
    Wayland fixes this vulnerability and allows us to reenable the Unsafe Browser by default.

    Wayland also brings in other features that were not working yet in the Unsafe Browser:

    Sound
    Uploads and downloads
    Alternative input methods for Chinese and other non-Latin languages
    Accessibility features like the screen reader and virtual keyboard

New features

New Persistent Storage

After 2 years of hard work, we are extremelly proud to present you a complete redesign of the Persistent Storage.

The Persistent Storage hasn't changed much since its first release in 2012 because the code was hard to modify and improve. But, we learned from users that the Persistent Storage could do a lot more for you if it had more features and was easier to use.

You don't have to restart anymore after creating the Persistent Storage or each time you activate a new feature.

You can change the password of your Persistent Storage from this new application.

You can choose to create a Persistent Storage directly from the Welcome Screen, if you don't have one already.

Wayland and better Unsafe Browser

We replaced the deprecated X.Org display system with Wayland.

Even if you won't notice any visual difference, Wayland brings more security in depth to Tails by making it harder for a compromised application in Tails to compromise or misuse another application.

For example, since Tails 4.8, the Unsafe Browser was disabled by default because a security vulnerability in another application in Tails could start an invisible Unsafe Browser, reveal your IP address, and deanonymize you.

Wayland fixes this vulnerability and makes it safe to reenable the Unsafe Browser by default. You can still disable the Unsafe Browser in the Welcome Screen.

Wayland also brings in other features that were not working yet in the Unsafe Browser:

    Sound - Uploads and downloads - Alternative input methods for Chinese and other non-Latin languages - Accessibility features like the screen reader and virtual keyboard

QR code scanning of Tor bridges

We made it easier to enter new Tor bridges in Tails by scanning a QR code.

To get a QR code, you can either:

    Send an empty email to bridges@torproject.org from a Gmail or Riseup email address.

    Get bridges from https://bridges.torproject.org/ and print the QR code on paper.

We are aware that the QR codes that are currently provided are too big to be easy to scan. We are working with Tor to make them smaller and easier to scan.

Changes and updates

    Update Tor Browser to 12.0.1.

    Update Thunderbird to 102.6.0.

    Update Tor to 0.4.7.12.

Fixed problems

We fixed 3 usability issues in the Tor Connection assistant:

    Display a percentage on the connection progress bar. (#19208)

    Fix links to documentation. (#19172)

    Add a Bridge label in front of the line to enter a custom bridge. (#19169)

For more details, read our changelog.

Known issues

    The switches that turn on and off the different features of the Persistent Storage are very slow to respond on some USB sticks. Please report on #19291 if this happens to you.

    The top of the Welcome Screen is cut out on small displays (800×600), like virtual machines. (#19324)

    You can press Alt+S to start Tails.

    When using a custom Tor obfs4 bridge, the progress bar of Tor Connection sometimes gets stuck halfway through and becomes extremelly slow. (#19173)

    To fix this, you can either:

        Close and reopen Tor Connection to speed up the initial connection.

        Try a different obfs4 bridge.

        This issue only affects outdated obfs4 bridges and does not happen with obfs4 bridges that run version 0.0.12 or later.
