>Tails 6.4
>2024-06-18
>New features
>Random seed
>Tails now stores a random seed on the USB stick to strengthen all
>cryptography.
>Having a secure random number generator is critical to some of the
>cryptography used in Tails, for example, in the Persistent Storage,
>Tor, or HTTPS.
>This random seed is stored outside of the Persistent Storage so that
>all users can benefit from stronger cryptography.
>Changes and updates
> Switch to using HTTPS addresses instead of an onion addresses for the
> Debian and Tails APT repositories. This makes the Additional Software
> feature more reliable.
> Update Tor Browser to 13.0.16.
> Update the Tor client to 0.4.8.12.
> Update Thunderbird to 115.12.0.
>Fixed problems
> Fix more issues when unlocking the Persistent Storage. (#20020, #20344,
> #19913)
> Fix connecting to a mobile broadband network on some hardware. (#20291)
> Enable again the PDF reader of Thunderbird that we disabled in Tails
> 6.3 for security.
> Improve the error message of Tails Cloner when the target USB stick
> cannot be unmounted because it is being used. (#19253)
> Fix the homepage of Tor Browser when using the New Identity feature.
> This removes the error message Tor Browser blocked your homepage from
> loading. (#20381)
> Remove the redundant dialog when unlocking a VeraCrypt volume using the
> Unlock VeraCrypt Volumes utility. (#20281)
>For more details, read our changelog.
