Tails 4.1

Tails is an operating system that can be run on almost any computer from a USB stick or DVD. It aims to preserve your privacy and anonymity and helps you to do so.

This release fixes many vulnerabilities. You should update as soon as possible.

Changes and Updates

  • Now in use https://keys.openpgp.org/ ΠΈ https://zkaan2xfbuxia2wpf7ofnkbz6r5zdbbvxbunvp5g2iebopbfc4iqmbad.onion/ as the default OpenPGP server.
    • keys.openpgp.org is more reliable than other OpenGPG servers because it refers to the OpenPGP public key only in the field of sending a confirmation email to the email addresses specified in this key.
    • keys.openpgp.org does not distribute third party signatures, which are signatures on keys made using another key. Third Party Signatures are the signatures used to create the OpenPGP Web of Trust.
    • keys.openpgp.org prevents OpenPGP certificate overflow attacks, which can make your OpenPGP keyring unusable and cause your computer to crash.
      To learn more about key.openpgp.org, read their pages About ΠΈ FAQ.
  • Updated Tor Browser to 9.0.2.
  • Updated Thunderbird with 60.9.0 to 68.2.2.
  • Replaced TorBirdy extension for custom settings and patches in Thunderbird which provide equivalent privacy.
  • Updated Enigmail to 2.1.3, with a simpler installer that automatically creates an OpenGPG key for new email accounts.
  • Kernel updated Linux up to 5.3.9. This should improve support for newer hardware (video cards, Wi-Fi, etc.).
