Tails 1.2 - Privacy for anyone anywhere

4:02 PM  , , , , , , ,  


Tails is a live operating system, that you can start on almost any computer from a DVD, USB stick, or SD card. It aims at preserving your privacy and anonymity, and helps you to:
  • use the Internet anonymously and circumvent censorship;
    all connections to the Internet are forced to go through the Tor network;
  • leave no trace on the computer you are using unless you ask it explicitly;
  • use state-of-the-art cryptographic tools to encrypt your files, emails and instant messaging.
Changes
Notable user-visible changes include:
  • Major new features
    • Install (most of) the Tor Browser, replacing our previous Iceweasel-based browser. The version installed is from TBB 4.0 and is based on Firefox 31.2.0esr. This fixes the POODLE vulnerability.
    • Upgrade Tor to 0.2.5.8-rc.
    • Confine several important applications with AppArmor.
  • Bugfixes
    • Install Linux 3.16-3 (version 3.16.5-1).
  • Minor improvements
    • Upgrade I2P to 0.9.15, and isolate I2P traffic from the Tor Browser by adding a dedicated I2P Browser. Also, start I2P automatically upon network connection, when the i2p boot option is added.
    • Make it clear that TrueCrypt will be removed in Tails 1.2.1 (ticket #7739), and document how to open TrueCrypt volumes with cryptsetup.
    • Enable VirtualBox guest additions by default (ticket #5730). In particular this enables VirtualBox's display management service.
    • Make the OTR status in Pidgin clearer thanks to the formatting toolbar (ticket #7356).
    • Upgrade syslinux to 6.03-pre20, which should fix UEFI boot on some hardware.
