    Update Tor Browser to 10.0.12.

    Update Thunderbird to 78.7.0.

For more details, read our changelog.

Known issues

    Automatic upgrades are broken from Tails 4.14 and earlier.

    To upgrade from Tails 4.14 or earlier, you can either:

        Do a manual upgrade.

        Fix the automatic upgrade from a terminal. To do so:

            Start Tails and set up an administration password.

            In a terminal, execute the following command:

Code: [Auswählen]

torsocks curl --silent https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/raw/master/config/chroot_local-includes/usr/share/tails/certs/lets-encrypt-r3.pem \
| sudo tee --append /usr/local/etc/ssl/certs/tails.boum.org-CA.pem \
&& systemctl --user restart tails-upgrade-frontend

This command is a single command that wraps across several lines. Copy and paste the entire block at once and make sure that it executes as a single command.

About 30 seconds later, you should be prompted to upgrade to the latest version of Tails. If no prompt appear, you might already be running the latest version of Tails.

Reliability improvements to automatic upgrades

    Repair automatically the file system used during upgrades.

    Resume automatically when the download of an upgrade fails.

    Update Tor Browser to 10.0.14.

    Update Thunderbird to 78.8.0.

Changelog

This release fixes known security vulnerabilities. You should upgrade as soon as possible.

Changes and updates

    Remove "Synchronizing the system's clock" notification when connecting to Tor network

    We removed this notification because it didn't recommend a specific action for users to take and it was unclear. It might have given users the impression that they should alter their UTC clock settings. (#7439)

    Remove Poedit

    We now use Weblate to provide translated text for Tails and the Tails website, so Poedit isn't as necessary. To install Poedit in Tails, see our guide on Additional Software (#18236)

    Update Tor Browser to 10.0.16.
    Update Thunderbird to 78.9.0-1.

    Update some Intel and Linux firmware packages. This should improve support for newer hardware (graphics, Wi-Fi, and so on).

Fixed problems

    Use more reliable Debian repositories

    Tails now connects to the APT repositories of Debian using their HTTPS address instead of their .onion address, for increased reliability with the Additional Software feature. We left other Tails and Tor Project APT onion sources as is. (#17993)

    Display an error message when the Upgrader fails to download the signing key. This has been a silent error since 4.14. (#18238)

Release Notes

Tails 4.19, scheduled for June 1, will completely change how to connect to the Tor network from Tails. We would like as many people as possible to test this beta version to be able to fix as many problems as possible before we release 4.19 to all users. Over the years, we have identified many issues in how to connect to the Tor network from Tails, thanks to your feedback. With this beta, we are trying to solve the most important and pressing of these issues:

    The lack of feeback while connecting to the Tor network.
    The option to use Tor bridges has to be turned on in the Welcome Screen and cannot be changed afterwards.
    The lack of default Tor bridges.
    The previous configuration screen for Tor bridges wasn't accessible to people who use the screen reader.
    The lack of guidance when Tails is not connected to a local network yet.

Release Notes

We worked very hard last week to get ready to release the work on the connection to Tor that we have been showing you in 4.19~beta1 and 4.19~rc1. We made a lot of progress but didn't feel confident enough to release it today.

So, we are releasing 4.19 as a regular upgrade and will release this work in 4.20. We will publish an updated rc2 in the coming days with even more improvements on the connection to Tor.
Changes and updates

    Stop pinning the TLS certificate of our website when doing automatic upgrades.

    We broke automatic upgrades twice recently; once in December in 4.14 and again during a few days on May 15. These 2 times, it was the consequence of a security feature: the pinning of the TLS certificate of our website when doing automatic upgrades.

    We removed this feature because the recent problems proved us that this feature was not worth it if it makes us break automatic upgrades that often. (#18324)

    Our upgrades are still as strongly authenticated as they are signed using OpenPGP by our team.

    Add visual feedback when typing an administration password with sudo in a terminal:

    amnesia@amnesia:~$ sudo -i
    [sudo] password for amnesia: ********

    Update Tor Browser to 10.0.17.

    Update Thunderbird to 78.10.0.

Release Notes

Tails 4.20 completely changes how to connect to the Tor network from Tails.

After connecting to a local network, a Tor Connection assistant helps you connect to the Tor network.

This new assistant is most useful for users who are at high risk of physical surveillance, under heavy network censorship, or on a poor Internet connection:

    It protects better the users who need to go unnoticed if using Tor could look suspicious to someone who monitors their Internet connection (parental control, abusive partner, school or work network, etc.).

    It allows people who need to connect to Tor using bridges to configure them without having to change the default configuration in the Welcome Screen.

    It helps first-time users understand how to connect to a local Wi-Fi network.

    It provides feedback while connecting to Tor and helps troubleshoot network problems.

We know that this assistant is still far from being perfect, even if we have been working on this assistant since February. If anything is unclear, confusing, or not working as you would expect, please send your feedback to tails-dev@boum.org (public mailing list).

This first release of the Tor Connection assistant is only a first step. We will add more improvements to it in the coming months to:

    Save Tor bridges to the Persistent Storage (#5461)
    Help detect when Wi-Fi is not working (#14534)
    Detect if you have to sign in to the local network using a captive portal (#5785)
    Synchronize the clock to make it easier to use Tor bridges in Asia (#15548)
    Make it easier to learn about new Tor bridges (#18219, #15331)

Changes and updates

    Update OnionShare from 1.3.2 to 2.2.
    This major update adds a feature to host a website accessible from a Tor onion service.

Update KeePassXC from 2.5.4 to 2.6.2.

This major update comes with a redesign of the interface.

    Update Tor Browser to 10.5.2.
    Update Thunderbird to 78.11.0.
    Update Tor to 0.4.5.9.

    Update the Linux kernel to 5.10.46. This should improve the support for newer hardware (graphics, Wi-Fi, and so on).

    Rename MAC address spoofing as MAC address anonymization in the Welcome Screen.

Fixed problems

Automatic upgrades

    Made the download of upgrades and the handling of errors more robust. (#18162)
    Display an error message when failing to check for available upgrades. (#18238)

Tails Installer

    Made the display of the Reinstall button more robust. (#18300)
    Make the Install and Upgrade unavailable after a USB stick is removed. (#18346)

Known issues

    Automatic upgrades are broken from Tails 4.14 and earlier.

    To upgrade from Tails 4.14 or earlier, you can either:

        Do a manual upgrade.

        Fix the automatic upgrade from a terminal. To do so:

            Start Tails and set up an administration password.

            In a terminal, execute the following command:

Code: [Auswählen]

torsocks curl --silent https://tails.boum.org/isrg-root-x1-cross-signed.pem \
| sudo tee --append /usr/local/etc/ssl/certs/tails.boum.org-CA.pem \
&& systemctl --user restart tails-upgrade-frontend
Approximately 30 seconds later, you should be prompted to upgrade to the latest version of Tails. If no prompt appears, you might already be running the latest version of Tails.

Allow fixing the clock manually when connecting to Tor using bridges fails. (#15548)

This helps people East from London connect to Tor using obfs4 bridges and makes connecting to Tor more robust in general.
