New features
New Persistent Storage
After 2 years of hard work, we are extremelly proud to present you a complete redesign of the Persistent Storage.mYB免费翻墙网
The Persistent Storage hasn't changed much since its first release in 2012 because the code was hard to modify and improve. But, we learned from users that the Persistent Storage could do a lot more for you if it had more features and was easier to use.mYB免费翻墙网

Wayland and better Unsafe Browser
We replaced the deprecated X.Org display system with Wayland.mYB免费翻墙网
Even if you won't notice any visual difference, Wayland brings more security in depth to Tails by making it harder for a compromised application in Tails to compromise or misuse another application.mYB免费翻墙网
For example, since Tails 4.8, the Unsafe Browser was disabled by default because a security vulnerability in another application in Tails could start an invisible Unsafe Browser , reveal your IP address, and deanonymize you.mYB免费翻墙网
Wayland fixes this vulnerability and makes it safe to reenable the Unsafe Browser by default. You can still disable the Unsafe Browser in the Welcome Screen.mYB免费翻墙网
Wayland also brings in other features that were not working yet in the Unsafe Browser :mYB免费翻墙网
- Sound
- Uploads and downloads
- Alternative input methods for Chinese and other non-Latin languages
- Accessibility features like the screen reader and virtual keyboard
QR code scanning of Tor bridges
We made it easier to enter new Tor bridges in Tails by scanning a QR code.mYB免费翻墙网
To get a QR code, you can either:mYB免费翻墙网
We are aware that the QR codes that are currently provided are too big to be easy to scan. We are working with Tor to make them smaller and easier to scan.mYB免费翻墙网

obfs4 bridge, the progress bar of Tor Connection sometimes gets stuck halfway through and becomes extremelly slow. (#19173)
