New features
New shutdown procedure
Tails now uses the standard shutdown procedure from GNOME.
The standard shutdown procedure is a bit slower, but better prevents data loss.
For example, the Power Off confirmation dialog informs you if an application needs to be closed or an open document needs to be saved before shutting down.
Even without confirming or saving the open documents, Tails will shut down after 60 seconds.
You can still use the faster emergency shutdown as before.
Celluloid video player
We replaced GNOME Videos with Celluloid, a more modern and reliable video player.
For added security, Celluloid cannot access the network. You can either:
- Open online videos, like MP4 and AVI files, in Tor Browser.
- Open online streaming addresses, like IPTV and HLS addresses, in VLC, installed as additional software.
Celluloid doesn't work on some computer from 2011 or earlier.
You can use VLC instead, installed as additional software.
Changes and updates
Update Tor Browser to 15.0.19.
Update some firmware packages. This improves support for newer hardware: graphics, Wi-Fi, and so on.
