Spread the love

Tails stands for The amnesic incognito live system and is a live Linux distribution that focuses on privacy and anonymity. It uses Debian GNU/Linux as a base and adds a Gnome environment with Tor, Tor Browser, Pidgin, Thunderbird, Electrum, LibreOffice, GPG and KeePassXC. For more information please refer to this page. Version 6 is based on Debian 12 and Gnome 43. Version 6.2 includes the following changes and improvements:

New features

We added 21 new languages ​​to the Welcome Screen: Albanian, Armenian, Basque, Bengali, Bulgarian, Estonian, Galician, Icelandic, Japanese, Kazakh, Korean, Latvian, Malay, Norwegian Nynorsk, Polish, Serbian, Slovak, Swahili, Thai, Ukrainian , and Vietnamese.

Some of these languages ​​only have little of our custom Tails applications translated, but other applications included in Tails are better translated. If you want to translate Tails better in these languages ​​or translate Tails into other languages, you can contribute to the Tor Project Weblate. New languages ​​will be included automatically in future versions of Tails as soon as 25% of strings are translated.

Changes and updates

  • Update Tor Browser to 13.0.14.
  • Update the Tor client to 0.4.8.11.
  • Rename the localization section of the Welcome Screen as Language and Formats.
  • Make Upgrade later the default option in the dialog opened by Tails Upgrader.
  • Include more errors in the detection of read and write errors on the USB stick.

Fixed problems

  • Fix a reliability issue that disabled Wi-Fi on some hardware. (#20045)
  • Disable SysRq keys, which allowed crashing a Tails session from the keyboard and bypass the lock screen. (#20334)
  • Disable Speculative Store Bypass to improve our mitigation of Specter v4. (#20335)
  • Improve the error message when creating a Persistent Storage is impossible. (#20328)
