Version 4.17 of Tails (The Amnesic Incognito Live System), a Debian-based live image designed for anonymous browsing of internet websites, has been released. The new release mostly includes fixes for a smoother upgrade process, and upgrades key software packages. "This release fixes known security vulnerabilities. You should upgrade as soon as possible. Reliability improvements to automatic upgrades: Repair automatically the file system used during upgrades. Automatic upgrades were sometimes failing even after doing a manual upgrade because of an unclean file system. Resume automatically when the download of an upgrade fails. Other changes and updates. Update Tor Browser to 10.0.14. Update Thunderbird to 78.8.0. Update Tor to 0.4.5.7. Update GRUB to 2.04-16. Update some firmware packages.

"We are pleased to announce the release of Qubes OS 4.0.4. This is the fourth stable release of Qubes 4.0. It includes many updates over the initial 4.0 release, including: all 4.0 dom0 updates to date; Fedora 32 TemplateVM; Debian 10 TemplateVM; Whonix 15 Gateway and Workstation TemplateVMs; Linux kernel 5.4 by default. If you installed Qubes 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, or 4.0.3 and have fully updated, then your system is already equivalent to a Qubes 4.0.4 installation. No further action is required. Regardless of your current OS, if you wish to install (or reinstall) Qubes 4.0 for any reason, then the 4.0.4 ISO makes this more convenient and secure, since it bundles all Qubes 4.0 updates to date."

"The first update of the year will be an enormous one. We have been working hard in the lab to update the underlying operating system to harden and improve IPFire and we have added WPA3 client support and made DNS faster and more resilient against broken Internet connections. This is probably the release with the largest number of package updates. This is necessary for us to keep the system modern and adopt any fixes from upstream projects. The DNS proxy working inside IPFire will now reuse any TLS and TCP connections for DNS resolution making it substantially faster. Before, a TCP or TLS connection had to be opened and closed after a response was received causing a lot of overhead. Please consider if your setup can run DNS-over-TLS to protect your privacy."
