New Release: Tails 7.4
Tor Project blog (tails)New feature
Persistent language and formatsYou can now save your language, keyboard layout, and formats from the Welcome Screen to the USB stick. These settings will be applied automatically when restarting Tails.
If you turn on this option, your language and formats settings are saved unencrypted on the USB stick to help you type the passphrase of your Persistent Storage more easily.
Changes and updates
- Update Tor Browser to 15.0.4.
- Update Thunderbird to 140.6.0.
- Update the Linux kernel to 6.12.63.
- Drop support for BitTorrent download.
With the ongoing transition from BitTorrent v1 to v2, the BitTorrent v1 files that we provided until now can become a security concern. We don't think that updating to BitTorrent v2 is worth the extra migration and maintenance cost for our team.
Direct download from one of our mirrors is usually faster.
Fixed problems
- Fix opening .gpg encrypted files in Kleopatra when double-clicking or selecting Open with Kleopatra from the shortcut menu. (#21281)
- Fix the desktop crashing when unlocking VeraCrypt volumes with a wrong password. (#21286)
- Use 24-hour time format consistently in the top navigation bar and the lock screen. (#21310)
