BEZPEČNOST Z TŘETÍ STRANY - DÍL 27. Tails 4.0

Další z operačních systémů zaměřen na soukromí uživatelů a bezpečnost. Nedávno vyšla nová verze 4.0 ve které je řada změn a vylepšení.

Změny,Major Changes To Included Software

  • Replace KeePassX with KeePassXC, which is more actively developed.
  • Update OnionShare from 0.9.2 to 1.3.2, which includes a lot of usability improvements.
  • Update Tor Browser to 9.0:
    • A gray border, called letter boxing, is now displayed around the content of web pages when you resize the window of Tor Browser.
      Letter boxing prevents websites from identifying your browser based on the size of its window. Letter boxing replaces the yellow warning that was displayed until now when maximizing Tor Browser.
    • The onion icon has been removed from the top bar.
      To switch to a new identity, choose  ▸ New Identity.
  • Update MAT from 0.6.1 to 0.8.0
    MAT has no graphical interface of its own anymore.
    To clean the metadata of a file:
    1. Open the Files browser and navigate to the file that you want to clean.
    2. Right-click (on Mac, click with two fingers) on the file.
    3. Choose Remove metadata.
  • Update Linux to 5.3.2. This should also improve the support for newer hardware (graphics, Wi-Fi, etc.).
  • Update Electrum from 3.2.3 to 3.3.8Electrum works again in Tails.
  • Update Enigmail to 2.0.12 and gnupg to 2.2.12, which mitigate OpenPGP certificate flooding.

    • Tor to 0.4.1.6
  • Remove Scribus.
    You can install Scribus again using the Additional Software feature.

Usability Improvements To Tails Greeter

We improved various aspects of the usability of Tails Greeter, especially for non-English users:

  • To make it easier to select a language, we curated the list of proposed languages by removing the ones that had too little translations to be useful. We also clarified how Chinese is listed by having different entries for simplified and traditional Chinese.
  • We simplified the list of keyboard layouts.
  • We fixed the Formats setting, which was not being applied.
  • We prevented additional settings to be applied when clicking on Cancel or Back.
  • We fixed the opening of help pages in other languages than English, when available.

Performance And Usability Improvements

  • Tails 4.0 starts 20% faster.
  • Tails 4.0 requires about 250 MB less of RAM.
  • Tails 4.0 is 47 MB smaller to download than Tails 3.16, despite all these changes.
  • Add support for Thunderbolt devices.
  • The screen keyboard is easier to use.
  • Make it possible to show the password of the persistent storage when creating one.
  • Add support for USB tethering from iPhone.
