Tails ,a live operating system that aims to protect your privacy by helping you browse the Internet anonymously, has today been upgraded to version 1.1.1.
The project developers state:
“ Version 1.1.1 is a major milestone that signifies the maturity of a free software project . The first public release of Tails was on June 23 Tails , 2009, and was called Amnesia. That was almost five years ago . 1.0 marks the 36th stable release since then .”
The change log states:
- Security fixes
- Upgrade the web browser to 24.8.0esr-0+tails1~bpo70+1 (Firefox 24.8.0esr + Iceweasel patches + Torbrowser patches).
- Add an I2P boot parameter. Without adding "i2p" to the kernel command line, I2P will not be accessible for the Live user. I2P was also upgraded to 0.9.14.1-1~deb7u+1, and stricter firewall rules are applied to it, among other security enhancements.
- Upgrade Tor to 0.2.4.23-2~d70.wheezy+1 (fixes CVE-2014-5117).
- Upgrade Linux to 3.14.15-2 (fixes CVE-2014-3534, CVE-2014-4667 and CVE-2014-4943).
- Prevent dhclient from sending the hostname over the network (ticket #7688).
- Override the hostname provided by the DHCP server (ticket #7769).
- Bugfixes
- Don't ship OpenJDK 6: I2P prefers v7, and we don't need both (ticket #7807).
- Prevent Tails Installer from updating the system partition properties on MBR partitions (ticket #7716).
- Minor improvements
- Upgrade to Torbutton 1.6.12.1.
- Install gnome-user-guide (ticket #7618).
- Install cups-pk-helper (ticket #7636).
- Update the SquashFS sort file, which should speed up boot from DVD (ticket #6372).
- Compress the SquashFS more aggressively (ticket #7706) which should make the Tails ISO image smaller.
