This release fixes known security vulnerabilities. Upgrade as soon as possible.
Changes and updates
- Remove the "System clock synchronization" notifications when connecting to the Tor network. Removed this notification because it does not recommend a specific action for users and it was not clear.
- EliminaT Poedit
- Weblate to provide translated text for Tails and the Tails website, so Poedit is not so necessary.
- Updated the Tor browser on 10.0.16.
- Updated Thunderbird on 78.9.0-1.
- Update some Intel and Linux firmware packages. This should improve support for newer hardware (graphics, Wi-Fi and so on).
- Solved the problems
- More reliable Debian repositories. Tails now connects to APT repositories in Debian using the HTTPS address instead of their .onion address, for increased reliability with the Additional Software feature.
- An error message is displayed when the Upgrade fails to download the signing key. This was a silent error starting with 4.14.
Fix automatic update from a terminal:
