  51. #########################################
  52.  
  53. - Changelog
  54. https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/plain/debian/changelog
  55.  
  56. tails (2.6) unstable; urgency=medium
  57.  
  58.   * Major new features and changes
  59.     - Install Tor 0.2.8.7. (Closes: #11351)
  60.     - Enable kASLR in the Linux kernel. (Closes: #11281)
  61.     - Upgrade Icedove to 1:45.2.0-1~deb8u1+tails1: (Closes: #11714)
  62.       · Drop auto-fetched configurations using Oauth2.  They do not
  63.         work together with Torbirdy since it disables needed
  64.         functionality (like JavaScript and cookies) in the embedded
  65.         browser. This should make auto-configuration work for GMail
  66.         again, for instance.  (Closes: ##11536)
  67.       · Pin Icedove to be installed from our APT repo. Debian's
  68.         Icedove packages still do not have our secure Icedove
  69.         autoconfig wizard patches applied, so installing them would be
  70.         a serious security regression. (Closes: #11613)
  71.       · Add missing icedove-l10n-* packages to our custom APT
  72.         repository (Closes: #11550)
  73.     - Upgrade to Linux 4.6: (Closes: #10298)
  74.       · Install the 686 kernel flavour instead of the obsolete 586
  75.         one.
  76.       · APT, dpkg: add amd64 architecture. The amd64 kernel flavour is
  77.         not built anymore for the i386 architecture, so we need to use
  78.         multiarch now.
  79.       · Build and install the out-of-tree aufs4 module. (Closes: #10298)
  80.       · Disable kernel modesetting for QXL: it's not compatible with
  81.         Jessie's QXL X.Org driver.
  82.  
  83.   * Security fixes
  84.     - Hopefully fixed an issue which would sometimes make the Greeter
  85.       ignore the "disable networking" or "bridge mode"
  86.       options. (Closes: #11593)
  87.  
  88.   * Minor improvements
  89.     - Install firmware-intel-sound and firmware-ti-connectivity.  This
  90.       adds support for some sound cards and Wi-Fi adapters.  (Closes:
  91.       #11502)
  92.     - Install OpenPGP Applet from Debian. (Closes: #10190)
  93.     - Port the "About Tails" dialog to python3.
  94.     - Run our initramfs memory erasure hook earlier (Closes:
  95.       #10733). The goal here is to:
  96.       · save a few seconds on shutdown (it might matter especially for
  97.         the emergency one);
  98.       · work in a less heavily multitasking / event-driven
  99.         environment, for more robust operation.
  100.     - Install rngd, and make rng-tools initscript return success when
  101.       it can't find any hardware RNG device. Most Tails systems around
  102.       probably have no such device, and we don't want systemd to
  103.       believe they failed to boot properly. (Closes: #5650)
  104.     - Don't force using the vboxvideo X.Org driver. According to our
  105.       tests, this forced setting is:
  106.        · harmful: it breaks X startup when the vboxvideo *kernel*
  107.          driver is loaded;
  108.        · useless: X.Org now autodetects the vboxvideo X.Org driver and
  109.          uses it when running in VirtualBox and the vboxvideo kernel
  110.          is not present.
  111.     - Port boot-profile to python3 (Closes: #10083). Thanks to
  112.       heartsucker <heartsucker@autistici.org> for the patch!
  113.     - Include /proc/cmdline and the content of persistent APT sources
  114.       in WhisperBack bug reports. (Closes: #11675, #11635)
  115.     - Disable non-free APT sources at boot time. (Closes: #10130)
  116.     - Have a dedicated page for the homepage of Tor Browser in
  117.       Tails. (Closes: # 11725)
  118.     - Only build the VirtualBox kernel modules for the 32-bit kernel.
  119.       It's both hard and useless to build it for 64-bit in the current
  120.       state of things, as long as we're shipping a 32-bit userspace.
  121.       Also, install virtualbox-* from jessie-backports, since the
  122.       version in Jessie is not compatible with Linux 4.x.
  123.  
  124.   * Build system
  125.     - Don't install+remove dpatch during the build. It's not been
  126.       needed in this hook for ages.
  127.     - Bump BUILD_SPACE_REQUIREMENT: at least one of us needed that to
  128.       build feature/10298-linux-4.x-aufs with the gzipcomp option.
  129.  
  130.   * Test suite
  131.     - Send Tails Installer's debug log to the Cucumber debug log on
  132.       failure. This is meant to debug #10720 since I can't
  133.       reproduce it locally.
  134.     - Give the system under testing 2 vCPUs. (Closes: #6729)
  135.     - Split scenarios from checks.feature. (Closes: #5707)
  136.     - Add retry-logic to the Synaptic tests. (Closes: #10412, #10441,
  137.       #10991)
  138.     - Run usb_upgrade.feature earlier, when there is enough free disk
  139.       space left. (Closes: #11582)
  140.     - Use more recent virtual hardware in the system under test,
  141.       i.e. USB 3.0 (nec-xhci) on a pc-i440fx-2.5 machine. Switching
  142.       USB controllers has helped with problems we see on Jenkins when
  143.       booting from USB (#11588). Also, there are chances that more
  144.       recent virtual hardware sees more testing these days, so it
  145.       sounds potentially useful to "upgrade".
  146.     - Add support for Cucumber 2.4. (Closes: #11690)
  147.     - Always write {pretty,debug} logs and JSON output to the artifact
  148.       directory.
  149.     - Disable info level logging on Chutney nodes to save disk
  150.       space. For our network all these add up to > 1 GiB and we didn't
  151.       take this into account when budgeting RAM to the isotesters on
  152.       Jenkins.

  158. # What is Tails?
  159.  
  160. "Tails is a live system that aims to preserve your privacy and anonymity. It helps you to use the Internet anonymously and circumvent censorship almost anywhere you go and on any computer but leaving no trace unless you ask it to explicitly.
  161.  
  162. It is a complete operating system designed to be used from a DVD, USB stick, or SD card independently of the computer's original operating system. It is Free Software and based on Debian GNU/Linux.
  163.  
  164. Tails comes with several built-in applications pre-configured with security in mind: web browser, instant messaging client, email client, office suite, image and sound editor, etc."
