Tails 2.2 RC1
What's New in Tails 2.2 RC1:
- Major new features and changes:
- Replace Vidalia (which has been unmaintained for years) with: (Closes: #6841)
- the Tor Status GNOME Shell extension, which adds a System Status icon indicating whether Tor is ready or not.
- Onion Circuits, a simple Tor circuit monitoring tool.
- Security fixes:
- Upgrade cpio to 2.11+dfsg-4.1+deb8u1.
- Upgrade glibc to 2.19-18+deb8u3.
- Upgrade libgraphite2 to 1.3.5-1~deb8u1.
- Upgrade libreoffice to 4.3.3-2+deb8u3.
- Upgrade libssh2 to 1.4.3-4.1+deb8u1.
- Bugfixes:
- Hide "Laptop Mode Tools Configuration" menu entry. We don't support configuring l-m-t in Tails, and it doesn't work out of the box. (Closes: #11074)
- WhisperBack:
- Actually write a string when saving bug report to disk. (Closes: #11133)
- Add missing argument to OpenPGP dialog so the optional OpenPGP key can be added again. (Closes: #11033)
- Minor improvements:
- Upgrade I2P to 0.9.24-1~deb8u+1.
- Add support for viewing DRM protected DVD videos using libdvdcss2. Patch series submitted by Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com. (Closes: #7674)
- Automatically save KeePassX database after every change by default. (Closes: #11147)
- Implement Tor stream isolation for WhisperBack
- Delete unused tor-tsocks-mua.conf previously used by Claws Mail. (Closes: #10904)
- Add set -u to all gettext:ized shell scripts. In gettext-base < 1.8.2, like the one we had in Wheezy, gettext.sh references the environment variable ZSH_VERSION, which we do not set. This has prevented us from doing set -u without various hacks. (Closes: #9371)
- Also set -e in some shell scripts which lacked it for no good reason.
- Make Git verify the integrity of transferred objects. (Closes: #11107)
