tails (2.0~rc1) unstable; urgency=medium
tails (2.0) unstable; urgency=medium
* Major new features and changes
- Upgrade to Debian 8 (Jessie).
- Migrate to GNOME Shell in Classic mode.
- Use systemd as PID 1, and convert all custom initscripts to systemd units.
- Remove the Windows camouflage feature: our call for help to port
it to GNOME Shell (issued in January, 2015) was unsuccessful.
- Remove Claws Mail: Icedove is now the default email client
(Closes: #10167).
- Upgrade Tor Browser to 5.5a6 (Closes: #10858).
Note: we partially, and temporarily, disabled the Tor Browser window
resizing feature; it interferes with the automated test suite
by causing misclicks, and will supposedly appear in a different form
in the final Tor Browser 5.5 release anyway.
- Upgrade Tor Browser to 5.5 (Closes: #10858, #10983).
* Security fixes
- Upgrade Linux to 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u2.
- Minimally sandbox many services with systemd's namespacing features.
- Upgrade Linux to 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u3.
- Upgrade Icedove to 38.5.0-1~deb8u1.
- Upgrade Git to 1:2.1.4-2.1+deb8u1.
- Upgrade libxml2 to 2.9.1+dfsg1-5+deb8u1.
- Upgrade Samba-related packages to 2:4.1.17+dfsg-2+deb8u1.
- Upgrade libldb1 to 2:1.1.17-2+deb8u1.
- Upgrade KeePassX to 0.4.3+dfsg-0.1+deb8u1.
- Upgrade Perl to 5.20.2-3+deb8u2.
- Upgrade Perl to 5.20.2-3+deb8u3.
- Upgrade bind9-related packages to 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u5.
- Upgrade FUSE to 2.9.3-15+deb8u2.
- Upgrade isc-dhcp-client tot 4.3.1-6+deb8u2.
- Upgrade libpng12-0 to 1.2.50-2+deb8u2.
- Upgrade OpenSSH client to 1:6.7p1-5+deb8u1.
* Bugfixes
- Restore the logo in the "About Tails" dialog.
- Don't tell the user that "Tor is ready" before htpdate is done
(Closes: #7721).
- Upgrader wrapper: make the check for free memory more accurate
(Closes: #10540, #8263).
- Allow the desktop user, when active, to configure printers;
fixes regression introduced in Tails 1.1 (Closes: #8443).
- Close Vidalia before we restart Tor. Otherwise Vidalia will be running
and showing errors while we make sure that Tor bootstraps, which could
take a while.
- Allow Totem to read DVDs, by installing apparmor-profiles-extra
from jessie-backports (Closes: #9990).
- Make memory erasure on shutdown more robust (Closes: #9707, #10487):
· don't forcefully overcommit memory
· don't kill the allocating task
· make sure the kernel doesn't starve from memory
· make parallel sdmem handling faster and more robust
- Don't offer the option, in Tor Browser, to open a downloaded file with
an external application (Closes: #9285). Our AppArmor confinement was
blocking most such actions anyway, resulting in poor UX; bugfix on 1.3.

· Explicitly enable the GNOME Shell extensions that build
the Classic mode.
- Make _get_tg_setting() compatible with set -u (Closes: #10785).
* Minor improvements
- Let the Pidgin wrapper pass through additional command-line arguments
(Closes: #10383)
- Move out of the $PATH a bunch of programs that users should generally
not run directly: connect-socks, end-profile, getTorBrowserUserAgent,
generate-tor-browser-profile, kill-boot-profile, tails-spoof-mac,
tails-set-wireless-devices-state, tails-configure-keyboard,

tor-controlport-filter, tails-virt-notify-user, tails-htp-notify-user,
udev-watchdog-wrapper (Closes: #10658)
- Upgrade I2P to 0.9.23-2~deb8u+1.
- Disable I2P's time syncing support.
- Install Torbirdy from official Jessie backports, instead of from
our own APT repository (Closes: #10804).
- Make GNOME Disks' passphrase strength checking new feature work,
by installing cracklib-runtime (Closes: #10862).
- Add support for Japanese in Tor Browser.
- Install xserver-xorg-video-intel from Jessie Backports (currently:
2.99.917-2~bpo8+1). This adds support for recent chips such as
Intel Broadwell's HD Graphics (Closes: #10841).
- Improve a little bit post-Greeter network unblocking:
· Sleep a bit longer between deleting the blacklist, and triggering udev;
this might help cure #9012.
· Increase logging, so that we get more information next time someone
sees #9012.
· Touch /etc/modprobe.d/ after deleting the blacklist; this might help,
in case all this is caused by some aufs bug.
- Enable and use the Debian jessie-proposed-updates APT repository,
anticipating on the Jessie 8.3 point-release (Closes: #10897).
- Upgrade most firmware packages to 20160110-1.
- Upgrade Intel CPU microcodes to 3.20151106.1~deb8u1.
* Test suite
- Update I2P tests for Jessie, and generally make them more robust.
- Update Electrum tests for 2.5.4-2 (Closes: #10758).
- Add workaround for libvirt vs. guestfs permissions issue, to allow
running the test suite on current Debian sid.
- Fix buggy code, that happened to work by mistake, in the Seahorse
test cases; bugfix on 1.8.
- Update test suite images due to CSS change on Tails' website.
- Adapt Tor Browser tests to work with the 5.5 series.
- Automatically test downloading files in Tor Browser.
- Remove obsolete scenario, that tested opening a downloaded file with
an external application, which we do not support anymore.
- Improve robustness of the "Tails OpenPGP keys" scenario (Closes: #10378).
* Build system
- Bump amount of disk space needed to build Tails with Vagrant.
The addition of the Japanese Tor Browser tarball made up reach
the limit of the previous value.
* Adjustments for Debian 8 (Jessie) with no or very little user-visible impact
- I2P: switch from 'service' to 'systemctl' where possible.

- laptop-mode-tools: don't control autosuspend. Some USB input
devices don't support autosuspend. This change might help fix
#10850, but even if it doesn't, it makes sense to me that we
don't let laptop-mode-tools fiddle with this on a Live system
(Closes (for now): #10850).
* Minor improvements
