[amnesia-news] Tails 0.16 is out

Tails, The Amnesic Incognito Live System, version 0.16, is out.

All users must upgrade as soon as possible.

# Changes

Notable user-visible changes include:

* Minor improvements

    * Replace the too-easy-to-misclick shutdown button with a better "Shutdown Helper" applet.
    * Display `~/Persistent` in GNOME Places and Gtk file chooser.
    * Install dictionaries for a few languages.
    * Set Unsafe Browser's window title to "Unsafe Browser".
    * Install ekeyd to support the EntropyKey.

    * Expose Vidalia's "broken onion" icon less.
    * Hide the persistence setup launchers in kiosk mode.

* Bugfixes

    * Disable IPv6 on all network interfaces. This is a workaround for the IPv6 link-local multicast leak that was recently discovered.
    * Tails may previously have been able to list GPT partitions labelled "TailsData" on hard drives (!) as valid persistence volumes... this is now fixed.
    * Fix SCIM in the autostarted web browser.
    * Talk of DVD, not of CD, in the shutdown messages.
    * Make tordate work in bridge mode with an incorrect clock.

    * Set the homepage to the news section on the Tails website.
    * Hide the iceweasel add-on bar by default.
