Releases Tails 2.10 was released on January 24th (minor release). Tails 2.11 is scheduled for March 7th. The following changes were introduced in Tails 2.10: We installed OnionShare, a tool for anonymous file sharing. We enabled the circuit view in Tor Browser. Replace AdBlock Plus with uBlock Origin. Configure the APT package manage to use Debian's Onion services. Install the AMDGPU display driver. This should improve the support for newer AMD graphics adapters. Renamed the Boot Loader Menu entries from "Live" to "Tails", and replaced the confusing "failsafe" wording with "Troubleshooting Mode". Add support for exFAT. Remove Nyx (previously called arm). Rewrite Tor control port filter entirely. Now Tails can safely support OnionShare, the circuit view of Tor Browser, and similar. This also enabled Whonix to replace their own similar piece of software with this one. Code We (almost) finished updating the AppArmor policy in Debian Stretch so that it supports merged-/usr systems. We started evaluating USBGuard, and posted suggestions to improve its user experience, that upstream warmly welcomes. Documentation and website We documented how to use OnionShare, a tool for anonymous file sharing. We documented the circuit view in Tor Browser. User experience We've been working on improving the user experience of Tails Installer For the Tails 3.0 test images, in Tails Greeter we will drop the read-only persistence option. We don't know yet if we will be able to re-add this option to Tails 3.0 once we release it, but we are working on it. Infrastructure We started to set up a XMPP server to satisfy the need for private communication tools expressed by one of our teams. We enabled an Onion service for our APT repository (#11556). We improved our systems so that they send less useless email to our system administrators. We started updating our Puppet modules to better support Debian Stretch. Funding LinuxFr: Tails, nous avons besoin de vos dons was published as a follow-up on our call for donations. We received feedback from OTF about our concept note, and started working on our answer. Outreach Upcoming events We have a booth at FOSDEM in Brussels. Tails will be presented at a cryptoparty on March 4th 2017 in Rennes, France. We started organizing a Debian event that will take place in Paris on May 13-14. Stay tuned! On-going discussions We've been discussing how to improve our memory erasure process. We've announced that Tails 3.0 will require a 64-bit processor.
