Changes

Notable user-visible changes include:

  • Security fixes
    • Upgrade your web browser to 24.5.0esr-0 + tails1 ~ bpo60 + 1 (Firefox 24.5.0esr + Iceweasel patches + Torbrowser patches).
    • Upgrade to 0.2.4.21-1 + tails1 ~ d60.squeeze + 1:
      • Based on 0.2.4.21-1 ~ d60.squeeze + 1.
      • Backport the fix for bug #11464 on Tor Project's Trac. It adds -side blacklists for all Tor authority keys that was vulnerable to Heartbleed. This protects clients in case attackers were able to compromise a majority of the authority signing and identity keys.
  • Bugfixes
    • Disable inbound I2P connections. Tails already restricts incoming connections, but this change tells I2P about it.
    • Fix the link to the system requirements documentation page in the Tahils Upgrader error shown when too little RAM is available.
  • Minor improvements
    • Upgrade I2P to 0.9.12-2 ~ deb6 + 1.
    • Import TorBrowser profile. This was forgotten in Tails 0.23 and even though we didn't explicitly set those preferences in that release they defaulted to the same values. This future-proofs us in case the defaults would ever change.
    • Import new custom version of Tor Launcher:
    • Integrate the new Tails logo into various places:
      • The website
      • The boot splash
      • The “About Tails” dialog
