Security
fixes
*
Major
new
features
-
Spoof
the
network
interfaces
' MAC address by default (Closes: #5421),
as designed on https://tails.boum.org/contribute/design/MAC_address/.
- Rework the way to configure how Tor connects to the network
(bridges, proxy, fascist firewall): add an option to Tails Greeter,
start Tor Launcher when needed (Closes: #5920, #5343).
* Bugfixes
- Additional software: do not crash when persistence is disabled
(Closes: #6440).
- Upgrade Pidgin to 2.10.9, that fixes some regressions introduced
in the 2.10.8 security update (Closes: #6661).
- Wait for Tor to have fully bootstrapped, plus a bit more time,
before checking for upgrades (Closes: #6728) and unfixed known
security issues.
- Disable the Intel Management Engine Interface driver (Closes: #6460).
We don'
t
need
it
in
Tails
,
it
might
be
dangerous
,
and
it
causes
bugs
on
various
hardware
such
as
systems
that
reboot
when
asked
to
shut
down
-
Add
a
launcher
for
the
Tails
documentation
.
This
makes
it
available
in
Windows
Camouflage
mode
(
Closes
:
#
5374
,
#
6767
).
-
Remove
the
obsolete
wikileaks
.
de
account
from
Pidgin
(
Closes
:
#
6807
).

Minor
improvements

-
Install
64
-
bit
kernel
instead
of
the
686
-
pae
one
(
Closes
:
#
5456
).
This
is
a
necessary
first
step
towards
UEFI
boot
support
.
-
Install
Monkeysign
(
in
a
not
-
so
-
functional
shape
yet
).
-
Disable
the
autologin
text
consoles
(
Closes
:
#
5588
).
This
was
one
of
the
blockers
before
a
screen
saver
can
be
installed
in
a
meaningful
way
(#
5684
).
-
Don
't localize the text consoles anymore: it is broken on Wheezy,
the intended users can as well use loadkeys, and we now do not have
to trust setupcon to be safe for being run as root by the desktop user.
- Make it possible to manually start IBus.
- Reintroduce the possibility to switch identities in the Tor Browser,
using a filtering proxy in front of the Tor ControlPort to avoid giving
full control over Tor to the desktop user (Closes: #6383).
- Incremental upgrades improvements:
· Drop the Tails Upgrader launcher, to limit users'
confusion
(
Closes
:
#
6513
).
·
Lock
down
sudo
credentials
a
bit
.
·
Include
~/.
xsession
-
errors
in
WhisperBack
bug
reports
.
This
captures
the
Tails
Upgrader
errors
and
debugging
information
.
-
Don
't install the Cookie Monster browser extension (Closes: #6790).
- Add a browser bookmark pointing to Tor'
s
Stack
Exchange
(
Closes
:
#
6632
).
-
Remove
the
preconfigured
#
tor
channel
from
the
Pidgin
:
apparently
,
too
many
Tails
users
go
ask
Tails
questions
there
,
without
making
it
clear
that
they
are
running
Tails
,
hence
creating
a
user
-
support
nightmare
(
Closes
:
#
6679
).
-
Use
(
most
of
)
Tor
Browser
's mozconfig (Closes: #6474).
- Rebase the browser on top of iceweasel 24.3.0esr-1, to get
the certificate authorities added by Debian back (Closes: #6704).
* Build system
- Ease updating POT and PO files at release time, and importing translations
from Transifex (Closes: #6288, #6207).
- Drop custom poedit backport, install it from squeeze-backports-sloppy.
- Make ISO and IUK smaller (Closes: #6390, #6425):
· Exclude more files from being included in the ISO.
· Remove *.pyc later so that they are not recreated.
· Truncate log files later so that they are not filled again.
· At ISO build time, set mtime to the epoch for large files whose content
generally does not change between releases. This forces rsync
to compare the actual content of these files, when preparing an IUK,
instead of blindly adding it to the IUK merely because the mtime
has changed, while the content is the same.
- Make local hooks logging consistent.
* Test suite
- Migrate from JRuby to native Ruby + rjb.
- The test suite can now be run on Debian Wheezy + backports.
- Fix buggy "persistence is not enabled" step (Closes: #5465).
- Use IPv6 private address as of RFC 4193 for the test suite'
s
virtual
network
.
Otherwise
dnsmasq
from
Wheezy
complains
,
as
it
is
not
capable
of
handling
public
IPv6
addresses
.
-
Delete
volumes
after
each
scenario
unless
tagged
@
keep_volumes
.
-
Add
an
anti
-
test
to
make
sure
the
memory
erasure
test
works
fine
.
-
A
*
lot
*
of
bugfixes
,
simplifications
and
robustness
improvements
.
