For more details, read our changelog. Known issues: none specific to this release. See the list of long-standing issues. Tails 4.5 is scheduled for April 7."

The project's latest release is Tails 4.1 which switches the default key server, updates the Tor Browser application and Thunderbird mail client, and adds newer hardware support. "Use keys.openpgp.org as the default OpenPGP key server. keys.openpgp.org is more trustworthy than other OpenPGP public key servers because it only references an OpenPGP public key after sending a confirmation email to the email addresses listed in the key. keys.openpgp.org does not distribute third-party signatures, which are the signatures on a key that were made by some other key. Third-party signatures are the signatures used to create the OpenPGP Web of Trust. keys.openpgp.org prevents OpenPGP certificate flooding attacks, which can make your OpenPGP keyring unusable and crash your computer. Update Tor Browser to 9.0.2. Update Thunderbird to from 60.9.0 to 68.2.2. Replace the TorBirdy extension with custom settings and patches in Thunderbird that provide equivalent privacy. Update Enigmail to 2.1.3, which has a simplified setup wizard that automatically creates an OpenPGP key for new email accounts."

The project has released a new version, Tails 4.0, which is the first version to be based on Debian 10 "Buster". "We are especially proud to present you Tails 4.0, the first version of Tails based on Debian 10 (Buster). It brings new versions of most of the software included in Tails and some important usability and performance improvements. Tails 4.0 introduces more changes than any other version since years. This release also fixes many security issues. You should upgrade as soon as possible. Major changes to included software: Replace KeePassX with KeePassXC, which is more actively developed. Update OnionShare from 0.9.2 to 1.3.2, which includes a lot of usability improvements. Update Tor Browser to 9.0: A gray border, called letter boxing, is now displayed around the content of web pages when you resize the window of Tor Browser. Letter boxing prevents websites from identifying your browser based on the size of its window. Letter boxing replaces the yellow warning that was displayed until now when maximizing Tor Browser. The onion icon has been removed from the top bar."
