Tails 6.9 released (nice) (blog.torproject.org)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by Charger8232@lemmy.ml to c/privacy@lemmy.ml
 

Happy Halloween! Tails released a small update, but it's nice to see that the software in Tails is getting updated more frequently!

Here are the major changes:

  • Update Tor Browser to 14.0.1.
  • Update the Tor client to 0.4.8.13.
  • Update Thunderbird to 115.16.0.
  • Fix automatic upgrades aborting with the error message "The upgrade could not be downloaded" even after a successful download. (#20593)

Can tails update itself or do you have to continuously redownload the live iso to boot from a new image each update?

[–] Charger8232@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Either option works.

Very nice indeed. Though would be nicer if they released it at the beginning of September.

I haven't played around with tails in a while, are updates lagging?

[–] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

Idk. I'm not into it.
