    Tails 6.13 2025-03-06

    New features

    Detection of problems with Wi-Fi hardware

    Problems with Wi-Fi are unfortunately quite common in Tails and Linux in general.

    To help troubleshoot hardware compatibility issues with Wi-Fi interfaces, the Tor Connection assistant now reports when no Wi-Fi hardware is detected.

    Tails 6.14.1 (stable) has been released. (03-April-2025)

    Tails 6.14.1 2025-04-03

    Today, we are releasing 6.14.1 instead of 6.14 because we discovered an important issue while testing 6.14 on Tuesday and had to start the release process again to fix it.

    New features
    More flexible confinement of Tor Browser
    We improved the confinement technology that we use to protect your files from possible security vulnerabilities in the Tor Browser.

    Until now, Tor Browser could only save downloads to and read files from a limited number of folders.

    With Tails 6.14.1, you can safely access any folder in your Home folder or Persistent Storage from the Tor Browser.

    This new integration also solves other usability and accessibility issues:

    • The Large Text accessibility feature works in Tor Browser. (#19266)

    • The Cursor Size accessibility feature works in Tor Browser. (#19572)

    • The minimize and maximize buttons are available again in the title bar. (#19328)
    These improvements rely on 2 security technologies: the flexibility of the new XDG Desktop Portals of Flatpak allowed us to relax the AppArmor confinement, improving usability without compromising on security.

    Changes and updates
    • Update Tor Browser to 14.0.9.

    • Update the Tor client to 0.4.8.16.
    Fixed problems
    • Fix the Welcome Screen freezing after unlocking the Persistent Storage. (#20783)

    • Add a clearer border to the Kleopatra window when on a white background. (#20861)

    • Fix the error when closing the check for upgrades from About Tails. (#20861)
    For more details, read our changelog.
